beacon
a.k.a. persistent cookie
"Beacons" are considered super-cookies that record not just the contents of your online shopping carts but even computer keystrokes and mouse movements, providing another layer of detail for online marketers. Also known as a "persistent cookie", beacons make it virtually impossible for users to go online without being tracked and profiled.
