Client caching identification tracking

A processor readable non-transitory storage media that includes instructions for tracking user profiles over a network, wherein the execution of the instructions by a processor enables actions, comprising:

• receiving a content request from a client device;
• determining a statistical identifier associated with the client device;
• if the content request fails to include a previously provided client caching identifier, generating a new client caching identifier for the client device, wherein the client device caches the new generated client caching identifier;
• generating a profile identifier using the client caching identifier and the statistical identifier, wherein the profile identifier is associated with no fewer than a predetermined number of client devices, the predetermined number of client devices based at least in part on a predetermined constraint set by an advertising industry standard or a regulatory standard;
• storing a profile for the client device based on the generated profile identifier;
• and
• enabling a targeted advertisement to be provided to the client device based at least on the stored profile.

A system for tracking user profiles over a network, comprising:

• a plurality of client devices enabled to provide requests for content to network devices;
• and
• at least one network device, including:
• a memory for storing data and instructions;
• and
• a processor that executes the instructions to enable actions, including:
• receiving a content request from a client device of the plurality of client devices;
• determining a statistical identifier associated with the client device;
• if the content request fails to include a previously provided client caching identifier, generating a new client caching identifier for the client device, wherein the client device caches the new generated client caching identifier;
• generating a profile identifier using the client caching identifier and the statistical identifier, wherein the profile identifier is associated with no fewer than a predetermined number of client devices, the predetermined number of client devices based at least in part on a predetermined constraint set by an advertising industry standard or a regulatory standard;
• storing a profile for the client device based on the generated profiler identifier;
• and
• enabling a targeted advertisement to be provided to the client device based at least on the stored profile.
