Additional commonly asked Q&A related to ‘Device Fingerprinting’ in DFP continued
Hi Christian
Thanks again for the fast replay.
When you say "using the same device" do you mean they use the same smartphone model with the same browser, configs etc. or they are using actually the same device?
If the first one applies, I would expect from a device fingerprint logic that it uses the additional information as location, ip etc. and we get different fingerprints, otherwise it wouldn't be very useful.
If the later one is what you mean, 1-3 wouldn't make sense, as we know they don't use the same smartphone or computer or so.
As device fingerprints seem to be important for fraud detection, I try to figure out why we get the same Device Fingerprint for customer with unrelated data expect just some of the device information (as Platform, Plugins and Screen Resolution).
We observe this not in particular fraudulent Orders or Customers but in general.
Hi Flaviov, yes, model should be the same for same device, and browser, config, IP, etc, can change. However, it is important to note that there is a small percentage of false positives.
