Deterministic cross-device tracking relies on consumer logins as an identifier to match consumers’ devices to one user. This method tends to be pretty accurate, since consumer login information is unique to an individual. Since this method of cross-device tracking relies on a user logging into a website or app on multiple devices, it can be somewhat limited in reach.
