We can use userAgent string in HTTP request to identify. Thought it

sending string "iPhone" and IMEI number in UserAgent string. Not only
in scott case, this will be helpful to identify specific iPhone for one

Not to mention being a huge invasion of the user's privacy.

I'm wondering what problem you're trying to solve that cookies don't solve.
