Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to monitor media presentations are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a registrar, implemented by a processor, to receive demographic information from a user, to transmit the demographic information to a central facility, and to store a consent identifier in a pasteboard of the media device, the consent identifier accessible to a first instrumented application and a second instrumented application executed in a sandbox environment, the consent identifier to indicate to the first instrumented application and the second instrumented application that monitoring is allowed.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to coordinate receipt of monitoring information. An example method includes, in response to a first received message requesting a first session identifier, creating, by executing an instruction with a processor of a load balancer, a first session identifier including an impression processor identifier. The impression processor identifier is to identify an impression processor to process subsequent messages that include the first session identifier. The first session identifier is transmitted to a media device to be used by the media device when transmitting the subsequent messages. The first received message is routed to the impression processor identified by the first session identifier. The impression processor is to credit a media presentation identified in a payload of the first received message.

Abstract: An example method includes receiving a media identifier and a first impression identifier from a media device, the media identifier being indicative of media presented at the media device, receiving the first impression identifier in association with first user information from a first database proprietor as a result of the first database proprietor obtaining a first identifier encrypted with a first encryption key by the media device, and receiving a second impression identifier in association with second user information from a second database proprietor as a result of the second database proprietor obtaining a second identifier encrypted with a second encryption key. The example method further includes identifying the first user information as associated with a user based on the first impression identifier, identifying the second user information as not associated with the user based on the second impression identifier and discarding the second user information.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to monitor media are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a network interface to obtain media monitoring information from a content publisher. The apparatus further includes a media identifier to determine a first media identifier based on the obtained media monitoring information corresponding to media presented at a media device, map the first media identifier to a second media identifier in a look-up table, the second media identifier based on an audience measurement entity (AME) media analyzer obtaining the media before the media device accessed the media, and credit the presentation of the media to the media device based on the mapping. The apparatus further includes a report generator to generate a media crediting report based on the crediting.
