Abstract:
An online system determines a frequency with which its users delete information stored in a browser on client devices associated with each user. When a user accesses the online system, the online system determines a user identifier associated with the user and determines if one or more conditions are satisfied based on information received from a browser used to access the online system. If a condition is satisfied, the online system communicates an instruction to the browser to communicate information associated with a third party and the user identifier to the third party. Information previously stored in the browser and associated with the user identifier is compared to information associated with the user identifier received from the browser. Deletion of information stored in the browser is determined when stored information associated with the user identifier differs from received information associated with the user identifier.
Abstract:
Universal tags are placed on various web pages of a website. Unlike prior art action tags that indicate that an action has occurred, the universal tag sends a broader range of data capturing a user's experience on the website (e.g., whether an item was placed in a shopping cart, etc.) to a server. The server obtains an identity of the user from its own cookie on the user's device and stores the information received with the universal tag in connection with the user's account. A graphical user interface is used to define the information to be sent upon activation of the universal tag.
