  • Publication number: 20110161422
    Abstract: A method and system for sharing online user information in an anonymous manner. The system associates an identifier with anonymized information of the user, and sends the anonymized user information to a receiving party. In one embodiment, the system receives a temporary id with personally identifiable information from a Web site, uses the personally identifiable information as a key to obtain the anonymized information from a data source, and sends the temporary id with the anonymized information to the receiving party. The receiving party uses the temporary id, previously received by the Web site, as a key to obtain the anonymized information of the user. In another embodiment, the system receives a temporary id from a Web site with a cookie from the user, uses the cookie as a key to obtain the anonymized information from a data source, and sends the temporary id with the anonymized information to the receiving party.
