obtaining data associated with the one or more devices associated with the consumer and corresponding the data with the consumer identifier, wherein the data is obtained from at least a first source and a second source;

in response to an advertisement of the advertising campaign being presented to the consumer, deduplicating the data related to the consumer identifier across the one or more viewing methods;

displaying, on the user interface, the deduplicated data to a user associated with the advertising campaign; and

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more devices associated with the consumer are updated to include an additional device, or to remove a device from a list of devices associated with the consumer.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data associated with the one or more devices associated with the consumer includes data that is associated with the consumer.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data associated with the one or more devices associated with the consumer includes data that is associated with both of the consumer and the one or more devices associated with the consumer.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein deduplicating the data related to the consumer identifier across the one or more viewing methods includes generating deduplicated metrics related to viewing activities of the consumer.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the deduplicated metrics are related to cross-platform viewing activities of the consumer.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein a same viewing activity on two platforms is deduplicated and included in the deduplicated metrics.
