Overall correct, but you're kind of missing some of the cat-and-mouse details for fingerprinting centered around infosec and anti-fraud purposes rather than generic ad-related tracking. That stuff can get way more intense, and is constantly changing based on new techniques developed, countermeasures from cybercriminals, and mitigations from browser developers.

I think the idea here is that the details shouldn't be publicly known. (Or that if they were they would have to invent their details!)
