Cross‑Device Tracking Challenges

People use multiple devices, making identity resolution and attribution hard. This quiz covers deterministic vs probabilistic methods, consent, and analysis pitfalls.

Deterministic identity typically relies on a stable, user‑provided ______ across devices.

screen DPI

font list

login/User ID

tab color

An authenticated identifier allows confident stitching of events from different devices.

Probabilistic matching uses signals like IP, user‑agent, or timing and is generally ______ than deterministic.

less certain

guaranteed

identical in certainty

more exact

It infers links and thus carries higher error rates and privacy considerations.

With third‑party cookies restricted, cross‑site tracking increasingly shifts to ______ data.

EXIF

SVG

CMYK

first‑party

First‑party identifiers and consented logins become central for stitching journeys.

A common analytics pattern is to set a User ID and send it as an ______ on every event for stitching.

DNS record

image filter

CSS token only

event parameter

Including the ID on events enables cross‑device attribution in downstream systems.

Fragmented identity can inflate unique users and ______ conversion rates if device views are counted separately.

guarantee

triple

deflate

ensure that all raise

Counting the same person as multiple users lowers observed conversion rates.

Consent frameworks should state that cross‑device linking occurs only with ______ permission.

user

router

device vendor

proxy

Explicit permission aligns linking practices with privacy expectations and regulations.

When modeling cross‑device impact, household‑level linking can introduce ______ if multiple people share devices.

SVG scaling

font hinting

confounding

gamma correction

Shared devices mix behaviors, making person‑level attribution noisy.

Lookback windows for attribution should be consistent across devices to avoid ______ bias.

GIF

vector

kerning

windowing

Different windows by device skew contribution comparisons.

For measurement resiliency, maintain a small logged‑in holdout to estimate the gap between logged‑in and ______ traffic.

anonymous

lossless

monochrome

CMYK

Comparing cohorts reveals the magnitude of stitching blind spots.

Cross‑device frequency capping is hardest without a shared ID; a practical mitigation is to cap per ______ as a proxy.

color palette

context (e.g., site/app)

font file

pixel row

Contextual caps reduce oversaturation even when person‑level caps are impossible.
