Abstract

Embodiments of the systems described herein can implement one or more visitor stitching processes. Visitor stitching can include, among other things, one or more processes by which multiple visitors that may appear distinctly independent may be merged into a new single united visitor profile due to the leveraging of one or more unique persistent identifiers.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for configuring gathering of data indicative of user interactions with a content page, the system comprising:
one or more hardware processors configured to generate one or more user interfaces comprising functionality for a configuration user to:
identify a plurality of data collection tags that are available to associate with a tag container, the plurality of data collection tags comprising instructions that, when executed by a user system, cause the user system to gather the data indicative of the user interactions with the content page and transmit the data indicative of the user interactions via a computer network,
associate one or more of the plurality of data collection tags with the tag container responsive to a selection of the one or more of the plurality of data collection tags by the configuration user,
map data sources in the content page to data sources gathered by the one or more of the plurality of data collection tags to designate the data sources in the content page from which at least some of the data indicative of the user interactions are gathered, and
define conditional logic to be applied to at least some of the data indicative of the user interactions, the conditional logic being configured to transform the at least some of the data indicative of the user interactions to generate attribute data denoting a trait of the user interactions; and

a memory device in communication with the one or more hardware processors, the memory device being configured to store the one or more user interfaces.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more user interfaces comprise functionality for the configuration user to associate two or more of the plurality of data collection tags with the tag container responsive to a selection of the two or more of the plurality of data collection tags by the configuration user.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more hardware processors are configured to output the one or more user interfaces for presentation to the configuration user on a display via a browser.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more user interfaces comprise functionality for the configuration user specify a name for one of the data sources in the content page.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more user interfaces comprise functionality for the configuration user specify a type associated with one of the data sources in the content page.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the type is a data object associated with one of the data sources in the content page.

7. The system of claim 5 , wherein the type is a script variable associated with one of the data sources in the content page.

8. The system of claim 5 , wherein the type is a meta tag associated with one of the data sources in the content page.

9. The system of claim 5 , wherein the type is a query string parameter associated with one of the data sources in the content page.

10. The system of claim 5 , wherein the type is a cookie value.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more user interfaces comprise functionality for the configuration user to query the data indicative of the user interactions and the attribute data.

12. A method for configuring gathering of data indicative of user interactions with a content page, the method comprising:
generating, by one or more hardware processors, one or more user interfaces comprising functionality for a configuration user to:
identify a plurality of data collection tags that are available to associate with a tag container, the plurality of data collection tags comprising instructions that, when executed by a user system, cause the user system to gather the data indicative of the user interactions with the content page and transmit the data indicative of the user interactions via a computer network,
associate one or more of the plurality of data collection tags with the tag container responsive to a selection of the one or more of the plurality of data collection tags by the configuration user,
map data sources in the content page to data sources gathered by the one or more of the plurality of data collection tags to designate the data sources in the content page from which at least some of the data indicative of the user interactions are gathered, and
define conditional logic to be applied to at least some of the data indicative of the user interactions, the conditional logic being configured to transform the at least some of the data indicative of the user interactions to generate attribute data denoting a trait of the user interactions; and

storing, by a memory device, the one or more user interfaces.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the one or more user interfaces comprise functionality for the configuration user to associate two or more of the plurality of data collection tags with the tag container responsive to a selection of the two or more of the plurality of data collection tags by the configuration user.

14. The method of claim 12 , further comprising outputting the one or more user interfaces for presentation to the configuration user on a display.

15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the one or more user interfaces comprise functionality for the configuration user specify a type associated with one of the data sources in the content page.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the type comprises a data object or a script variable associated with one of the data sources in the content page.

17. The method of claim 12 , wherein the one or more user interfaces comprise functionality for the configuration user to query the data indicative of the user interactions and the attribute data.

18. The method of claim 12 , wherein the one or more user interfaces comprise functionality for the configuration user to filter visitor data for the content page according to the attribute data.

19. Non-transitory physical computer storage comprising computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, are configured to implement a process for managing gathering of data indicative of user interactions with a content page, the process comprising:
generating one or more user interfaces comprising functionality for a configuration user to:
identify a plurality of data collection tags that are available to associate with a tag container, the plurality of data collection tags comprising instructions that, when executed by a user system, cause the user system to gather the data indicative of user interactions with the content page and transmit the data indicative of the user interactions via a computer network,
associate one or more of the plurality of data collection tags with the tag container responsive to a selection of the one or more of the plurality of data collection tags by the configuration user,
map data sources in the content page to data sources gathered by the one or more of the plurality of data collection tags to designate the data sources in the content page from which at least some of the data indicative of the user interactions are gathered, and
define conditional logic to be applied to at least some of the data indicative of the user interactions, the conditional logic being configured to transform the at least some of the data indicative of the user interactions to generate attribute data denoting a trait of the user interactions; and

outputting the one or more user interfaces for presentation to the configuration user on a display.
