  • Patent number: 11610232
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods for identifying a user by a demand side platform (DSP) across advertiser exchanges. The method includes establishing, by a DSP, a cookie mapping for a user. The cookie mapping includes a mapping of user identifiers for the user from advertisement exchanges to a user identifier assigned by the DSP for the user. The DSP stores to the cookie mapping a first mapping to the user identifier of the DSP, comprising a first user id received by a bidder from a first exchange and a first exchange id for the first exchange. A bidder inserts a pixel into a bid for an impression opportunity to a second exchange. The pixel includes a key to the cookie mapping and a second user id for the user and a second exchange id. The second user id is received by the bidder from a second exchange.

  • Publication number: 20110246298
    Abstract: The present solution is directed to methods and systems for maintaining anonymity of segment data from a third party provider while performing segment targeting via a demand side platform (DSP). The DSP receives one or more segment identifiers for segment data from a data supplier. The DSP may provide a pixel for segmented targeting of an impression opportunity for an advertisement exchange. The DSP may receive from the data supplier, a tracking agent to associate data collected via the demand side platform with the segment identifier. A bidder of the DSP provides a placement of an advertisement matched to an impression opportunity, the placement including the tracking agent and the pixel. The DSP may receive segment data from the data supplier based on execution of the tracking agent, the segment data corresponding to the segment identifier for the placement.

  • Publication number: 20110246267
    Abstract: The present invention is directed towards methods and systems for attribution of a conversion to an impression via a demand side service executing on one or more servers. The demand side service may match conversion events that occurred within a period of time of advertisements to impressions corresponding to the advertisements. The demand side service may identify a plurality of event records for the conversion events matched to the impressions. The demand side service may match an event of an event record from the plurality of event records corresponding to an advertiser and a user, to a plurality of impressions matched by the demand side service for the advertiser and the user. The demand side service may select an impression from the plurality of impressions with a time stamp less than a time stamp of a conversion event of the event record. The demand side service may further store an attribution of the selected impression with the conversion event of the event record.
