Combination of factors that uniquely identify your device and browser without setting a cookie. Basically, your IP, os/version, browser/version. They can track this over thousands of sites to develop a pattern of your browsing habits, and use that to create a likely demographic picture of you for advertisers

The various ways websites use to uniquely identify you (even if you're not signed into an account). It's used for things like site analytics and better serving you ads.

it means you need to get some tracker protection.

It basically collects stuff like screen size, mouse movement patterns, cached cookies, and other things saved on your computer to keep track on you in different websites.

A finger printer takes in your ip, browser info, etc., and uses it to create a unique "fingerprint" to tell if you've visited any specific site. You can block them with firefox, and maybe ublock or other adons.
