Hello, I'm Marc Friederich 👋
Welcome to my personal website. I share here interesting links, some thoughts, some pictures I made and an archive of my talks. You may know me as a co-founder of Antistatique, a human centric web agency. Or as core-team’s member of Interaction 18, The 2018 Interaction Design conference.

This is where I collect thoughts, URL and words on my web journey
Simple is the web, and why I love it so much.
Through my 20 years’ experience of designing and building web pages, I learned to unlearn, to take some distances, to fight and also accept to lose for the better.

Browser Fingerprinting - Master thesis
Since the IP address is basically a subset of the fingerprint, browser fingerprints can be considered personal data, and GDPR also applies to them. This means, in short, that websites have to ask for explicit user consent prior to collecting and storing their browser fingerprint.
