That’s the hitch - evercookies don’t show up in the list of cookies. But I did some more checking and it looks like the main thing he’s doing is using something called the HTML5 Canvas method to create a browser fingerprint. (Actually, I say “he’s doing” this, but he doesn’t have the skill to do it himself - he’s probably running some kind of plugin or web service.)

It could also be coming from something else he installed at his site, like an ad or some other external service. The best way to handle this is just to always use the Tor browser to go to his website - Tor will warn you if a site is trying to use the HTML5 Canvas method to track you, and let you block it.
