Abstract
This technology maintains de-identified visit data to a plurality of websites from assigned user identifiers (UIDs) corresponding to a plurality of clients. The assigned UIDs include a different assigned UID for each client-website pair, the de-identified visit data associating the assigned UIDs to a plurality of groups. A first group from the groups is determined based on first request data corresponding to a first request from a client to a web server system. First group visit data describing visits to a set of the websites by assigned UIDs belonging to the first group is obtained from the de-identified visit data. Affinity data, comprising at least one affinity score for at least one of the websites, is generated based on the first group visit data. Generation of affiliate content based on the affinity data is caused, where the affiliate content corresponds to the at least one of the websites.
