MITIGATING AT LEAST SOME EFFECTS OF COOKIE CHURN
Briefly, for an embodiment, as an example, a method may include recovering one or more cookies for a particular user based at least in part on one or more cookie maps.
1 . A method comprising:
processing multiple cookies for a particular user;
determining a correspondence between at least two separate cookies of the multiple cookies for the particular user, at least one of the at least two separate cookies comprises an unusable cookie; and
recovering a cookie for the unusable cookie based at least in part on the determination, the recovered cookie comprising a cookie for the particular user.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the multiple cookies comprise one or more cookie maps
3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
updating the one or more cookie maps to include a newly-generated cookie for the particular user.
4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the one or more cookie maps comprise at least two cookie maps, and wherein the at least two cookie maps are generated by separate demand-side platforms.
5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
generating a master key for inclusion in the at least two cookie maps, the master key to associate different cookies across different cookie maps in which the different cookies across the different maps are cookies for the particular user.
6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
accessing stored user interactions based at least in part on there covered cookie.
7 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
accessing a database to determine other attributes of the particular user.
8 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
generating a bid for a real-time bidding (RTB) auction in which auctioning of one or more advertisements for display to one or more users takes place, the generated bid comprising a bid for displaying the one or more advertisements to the particular user.
9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
transmitting the generated bid to a real-time bidding system that executes the RTB auction.
10 . An apparatus comprising: a computing device; the computing device to process multiple cookies for a particular user, to determine a correspondence between at least two separate cookies of the multiple cookies for the particular user, at least one of the at least two separate cookies to comprise an unusable cookie, and to recover a cookie for the unusable cookie based at least in part on the determination, the cookie to be recovered to comprise a cookie for the particular user.
11 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the multiple cookies are to comprise one or more cookie maps.
12 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the one or more cookie maps are to comprise at least two cookie maps having been generated by separate demand-side platforms.
13 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the computing device to further generate a master key for inclusion in the at least two cookie maps, the master key to associate different cookies across different cookie maps in which the different cookies across the different maps to comprise cookies for the particular user.
14 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the computing device to further generate a bid for a real-time bidding (RTB) auction in which auctioning of one or more advertisements for display to one or more users is to take place, the bid to be generated to comprise a bid for displaying one or more advertisements to the particular user.
15 . An article comprising: a non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions executable by a computing device to process multiple cookies for a particular user, to determine a correspondence between at least two separate cookies of the multiple cookies for the particular user, at least one of the at least two separate cookies to comprise an unusable cookie, and to recover a cookie for the unusable cookie based at least in part on the determination, the cookie to be recovered to comprise a cookie for the particular user.
16 . The article claim 15 , wherein the multiple cookies are to comprise one or more cookie maps.
17 . The article of claim 16 , wherein the computing device further to update the one or more cookie maps to include newly-generated cookie for the particular user
18 . The article of claim 16 , wherein the one or more cookie maps are to comprise at least two cookie maps having been generated by separate demand-side platforms.
19 . The article of claim 18 , wherein the computing device to further generate a master key for inclusion in the at least two cookie maps, the master key to associate different cookies across different cookie maps in which the different cookies across the different maps to comprise cookies for the particular user.
20 . The article of claim 15 , wherein the computing device to further generate a bid for a real-time bidding (RTB) auction in which auctioning of one or more advertisements for display to one or more users is to take place, the bid to be generated to comprise a bid for displaying the one or more advertisements to the particular user.
