Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014012118A2] A user can view creative from multiple locations (same laptop) and multiple devices (work computer, home computer, tablet, smartphone). The user can also adjust their privacy settings on their browser to accept or reject cookies and/or have anti-spam/spyware software that regularly deletes cookies. The enhanced counting method uses the patented first-party cookie technology to track users across access channels and across privacy settings on their browser. The non-acceptance and deletion of cookies causes the accuracy of the traditional third-party cookie calculated reach and frequency calculations to vary widely. First-party cookies reduce this variability but are still subject to non-acceptance or deletion so additional actions need to be taken to provide the opportunity for accurate reports. Additional steps to increase the accuracy of reach and frequency reporting have been developed. One step is to write a value into the log file that is a combination of the IP address and browser type. A second step is to leverage the first-party technology and capture a registration ID from a secondary advertiser system and write that to the log file as well. These two steps enable the generation of reports that: 1) provide more accurate reach and frequency calculations; 2) enable cross device reporting on users (home computer, work computer, tablet, smartphone); 3) enable multi-location reporting (work, home, other, etc.); 4) enable reporting on the number of users that don't accept or regularly delete cookies.
