evercookie
Produces persistent, respawning "super" cookies in a browser, abusing over a dozen techniques. Its goal is to identify users after they've removed standard cookies and other privacy data such as Flash cookies (LSOs), HTML5 storage, SilverLight storage, and others. (by samyk)

Print off a QR code for guests to join your WiFi network
If you really want to overengineer things, take a look at https://kmanc.github.io/be_my_guest/! I only put in the effort to make this work for my own networking gear, but it could be pretty easily extended to work on other hardware :)

QR code generator for your WiFi, anyone can scan to join
It might not be a good idea to put your Wi-Fi password into a third-party website. I much prefer DIY solutions like this one https://kmanc.github.io/be_my_guest/, where the password is rotated and the QR code automatically displayed on an E-Ink display.

Guest WiFi using a QR code
Bit of a self-plug I know, but this reminds me of something I had made a while back (https://github.com/kmanc/wifi_qr). Nice work! Always fun to see others' take on neat projects

Print off a QR code for guests to join your WiFi network
For a bad actor, this is easily work-around-able using various local persistence mechanisms like evercookie. https://samy.pl/evercookie/

Just read about "evercookies." What should we do about them from a personal privacy perspective?
If you're talking about the https://samy.pl/evercookie script, for what it's worth, you can defeat it (at least I can with my settings and no extensions) by...

Pure CSS device fingerprinting - An experimental technique.
Sure, as Sevetarion said earlier "There is no actual cooke, it's just a metaphor". In contrast to "fingerprinting" a user's unique device configuration (as the rest of this demo does), anti-tracking folks use the term "cookie" broadly to refer to various ways sites can store unique values to be retrieved later. This usage grew out of Samy Kamkar's awesome "Evercookie" work in 2010 (later aka "supercookie") https://samy.pl/evercookie/

I thought id show that jumbo security is not as usefull as it claims
Nothing comes to mind directly, sorry. It’s something I want to look deeper into myself as well. One cool thing to look at is evercookie which is a GitHub project that allows you to make tracking cookies and the likes. The repo itself hasn’t been updated in a while but can probably be a good source of information.

Fix favicon "supercookies" in any browser, in under a second
Also note, something like the Evercookie may also still be a thing that works. It stores data not only in cookies, but also in everything else that can retain any form of state (localStorage, HTTP browser history, HTTP cache for custom fingerprinted images generated by the server, etc.), and if even one spot doesn't get cleared by the user, the script can re-populate all the spots making for a very persistent "cookie."
