Abstract
An online system generates metrics describing performance of a content item presented to its users by various entities based on a number of events associated with an exposed group of users presented with a content item and a control group of users not presented with the content item and similar to users of the exposed group. The online system receives information describing presentation of the content item to each user of the exposed group via client devices associated with users of the exposed group. The online system provides information used by the online system to identify each user in the exposed group and in the control group to a trusted third party, which identifies information describing events associated with the content item from one or more entities. Based on the identified information, a metric is generated to describe the effectiveness of the content item.
