Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for maintaining user anonymity in content statistics. A system can first receive a media content request from a client device. The media content request can include a user account identifier and a content identifier. The content identifier can be different and separate from the user account identifier and a device identifier associated with the client device, and the content identifier can identify content presented at the client device. Next, the system can store the user account identifier and the content identifier in separate locations without attributing the content identifier to the user account identifier. In response to the media content request, the system can transmit a media content item to the client device based on the user account identifier. The system can also report the content presented at the client device with the content identifier and without the user account identifier.

Abstract: The present technology maintains a profile for each user known to a content delivery system and selectively excludes delivery of certain content to some users based on past performance. The user profile includes a listing of all completed conversion actions associated with the invitational content presented to the user. When presented with a request for invitational content, the system identifies the set of all possible invitational content for the given context. Based on the user profile, the system removes from the set all invitational content for which the user has completed the associated conversion action to create a user-specific set of invitational content. The system selects an invitational content from the user-specific set of invitational content to include in the content package presented to the user.

Abstract: Multi-client single-session media streaming is disclosed. One process includes setting up a single logical connection to a media server for a media to be transmitted, and transmitting the media from the media server over the single logical connection to a plurality of clients.
