A distributed computing system is configured to compute operational data for a video advertisement delivery system. Cloud-based resource are used to calculate operational parameters such as geographical data, unique advertisement delivery instances and segments of consumers that received the video advertisements.

Geo, segment, uniques distributed computing system

Techniques and systems for operating a video ad exchange includes controlling an ad server to receive ad requests from viewer devices, provide ad responses to viewer devices, generate an ad delivery data file that includes information about delivery of ads to the viewer devices, and transfer the ad delivery data file to a distributed computing cloud. The technique further includes controlling an ad data infrastructure mechanism to download the cloud-based ad delivery data file into a local memory, and process the copied ad delivery data file to generate billing data. An ad data infrastructure mechanism receives a configuration file from the ad server, verifies that all items in the configuration file from the ad server were used in the generation of the first billing data, and removes non-verifiable items from the first billing data to generate a final billing data.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, support a browser privacy mode in a plugin of the browser. In one aspect, a method includes applying a private browsing mode of a browser in a plugin program of the browser, the applying including: obtaining, in a process, an indication of the private browsing mode of the browser; specifying, in response to the indication, that an instance of the plugin program initiated within the process is set to run in a private data mode that cannot be exited; receiving, in the instance of the plugin program initiated within the process and set to run in the private data mode, information that results in locally cached data; and saving, in response to the receiving, the locally cached data entirely in volatile memory without saving to persistent storage.
