Fraudsters tend to make multiple accounts on their laptop or phone to commit fraud.

Any idea how this can be tracked? Normal cookies, or something more in-depth?

A site I'm working on tracks page visits independently of logged-in user sessions.

I'm wondering if it's worth considering explicitly looking for multiple logged-in users sharing the same page visit session.

There are various tricks - e.g. Flash cookies, Etags etc - that make me feel a bit uneasy, despite how much I like the idea of tracking multiple accounts per device.
