tldr: each stamp has a unique code. I didn't really believe it until I hit the single mention of "unique" in the text.

I wonder how traceable they are?

this is the exact and very obvious point missing from the article, which makes me very skeptical as to the intentions of the writer.

since all mail will now have a unique tracker on it, all the issuer need do is log who purchases which stamps and you can now track who sends mail.

this could have a chilling effect on many areas of society who communicate via items or letters sent in the post, as the anonymity and neutrality of mail is eroded.
