Abstract: In an Internet interface device such as a gateway managing a local network, a processor obtains a packet received from a device via a local network interface. The processor can determine whether or not the packet originates from a device in the local network deemed to be part of a particular group. The processor can also determine if the packet is addressed to an internet domain for which it stores identifying information in memory. In this case, the processor inspects the packet in search of a cookie. In case no cookie is found, the packet is output as is; if a cookie is found, the processor modifies cookie information in the packet by inserting a cookie specific to the Internet interface device, which results in a modified packet that then is output through the internet interface. Using the original cookie and the added cookie, it is possible to link cookies sent from different devices in the local network.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program. The program receives from a client device a request for data stored in a database categorized based on a calculated dimension. The program further generates the calculated dimension based on a subset of the data stored in the database. The program also generates an intermediary data structure by combining the calculated dimension with the data stored in the database. The program further generates results for the request by aggregating the data in the intermediary data structure based on the calculated dimension. The program also provides the results for the request to the client device.

Abstract: A compressed data structure is disclosed for storing collected data and delivering ad-hoc data analysis. The compressed data structure can reduce hardware requirements, such as data storage requirements, and decrease processing requirements during ad-hoc data analysis. Raw data can be pre-aggregated to a base level of aggregation (base cell level) that is determined by the unique combination of attributes available for aggregation. Rather than storing the raw data, the entire distribution is stored at the base cell level along with a selection of pre-computed statistics of the raw data. At the time of ad-hoc analysis, pre-computed results based on the raw data can be retrieved or computed from the pre-computed statistics, or analysis of higher-level data can be computed on-demand based on the pre-aggregated base level data.
