How does the Traditional Method Works?
▸ Identify users using cookies; if a cookie was not located, a new one would be set. This resulted in over-counting if the cookie had been intentionally blocked or deleted by a user.
▸ This could happen in the following cases:• Users delete cookies.
• Users block cookies (cookies are counted more than once).
• Users sometimes have more than one browser.
• Users sometimes have more than one computer.

Adjusted Unique Metrics
▸ In V4, we created the new Adjusted Unique Metrics report, in which we use a statistical method (aligned with IAB measurement standards) to correct the first two of the known issues.
▸ The algorithm
▸ Analyzes which users did not delete their cookies based on the date on which the cookie was first created, and calculates the average frequency for those users.
▸ Based on the total number of impressions that were served, it projects the estimated number of unique users in the population.

Mathematics
Cookies =Number of “good” cookies
Number of “good” impressionsX served impressionsAdjusted reach =
1 (cookie ID 2)
2 (impressions C, D)X 4 (A, B, C, D) = 2 = Number of cookies = Number of users
Number of impressions
Number of cookies= “Good” Frequency
Campaign Frequency =
