Abstract
When a user accesses content describing an item able to be purchased using a first website, and the user subsequently purchases the item using a second website within a threshold length of time of the access to the content, the purchase may be inferred to have been induced by the content, even though the content would normally direct the user to the first website. To correlate purchases across different websites, data identifying the user's device or a user account and data identifying the item is acquired when the content is accessed by the user. Subsequently, additional data is acquired when the item is purchased. If the additional data corresponds to the previous data, this may be used to determine that the same user has purchased the same item described by the content that was accessed.
