Do you have any examples of sites/companies that put the techniques into use as a direct result of Evercookie exposing them?

EDIT: Why am I being downvoted for this question? I am seriously interested, so that I can avoid contact with them.

I'm not sure if you can say that it's a direct result of Evercookie, but a number of high profile sites use this kind of tech - for example KissMetrics.com is used by a number of big companies, and they use ETAG cookies, Flash cookies - the lot.

And KissMetrics and their customers caught heat from it: http://www.extremetech.com/internet/91966-aol-spotify-gigaom...
