A tracking system receives a request for content that includes request-tracking
information. The request-tracking information includes identifiers for the content,
a content provider, a destination device for the content, a selectable data link
that generates the request, rendered content that includes the data link, and a
location of the data link within the rendered content. The request-tracking information
designates that the tracking system receive the content request before the request
is communicated to the content provider. The request for content is communicated
to the content provider that provides the content. The content includes content-tracking
information having identifiers for the content provider, the destination device,
and the content. The tracking system receives the content-tracking information
from the destination device when the content is provided to the destination device.
The tracking system maintains the request-tracking and the content-tracking information,
and associates the request-tracking and the content-tracking information with the
destination device.
