Abstract
A method, system, apparatus, and storage medium for determining that a client device is enabled for persistent identification, and that may operate as a filter for user information based on whether the client is enabled for persistent identification. A first communication is received regarding a request by the client for a web page. At least one application level data structure is then provided for storage by the client, that persistently identifies at least one characteristic of the client. A second communication is then received that includes a representation of the application level data structures provided, and a comparison is made between the data structures provided and the representation received to determine whether the client is enabled for persistent identification. If persistent identification is enabled, the client may then be provided with advertisements or other content related to the client interests or characteristics.
