accessing, in the database by the one or more servers, based on the request including the unique identifier, the second user data generated from use of the second device; and

identifying, by the one or more servers, an advertisement to display at the first device, based at least in part on the accessed second user data generated from use of the second device.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured for:

receiving, from the first device over a network, a request for web page content;

determining, by the one or more servers, whether the request for web page content includes a unique identifier stored in the local storage of the browser of the first device; and

transmitting, from the one or more servers to the first device, instructions to store a new unique identifier in the local storage of the browser of the first device upon determining that the request for web page content does not include the unique identifier.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured for:

enabling the user to at least one of authenticate and log-in to the browser of the first device and the browser of the second device.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the unique identifier is replicated in the local storage of the browser of the first device and in the local storage of the browser of the second device based on at least one of a remote computing platform and a cloud computing platform.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the unique identifier is transmitted to the browser of the first device upon the user at least one of authenticating and logging-in to the browser of the first device.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the local storage of the browser of the first device is at least one of a sandbox associated with the browser of the first device and a browser storage area of the browser of the first device.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured for:

transmitting, from the one or more servers to the first device, instructions to store an instance unique identifier in the local storage of the browser of the first device, the instance identifier identifiers the browser of the first device; and
