8. A computing system comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, having stored thereon program instructions that, upon execution by the processor, cause performance of a set of operations comprising:
sending a first message to a first server of a first Internet domain in response to detecting a login event at a client device in association with an Internet-based service of a second Internet domain, the second Internet domain outside the first Internet domain;
accessing a second message from the first server of the first Internet domain, the second message including a global unique identifier (GUID) and a login timestamp, the GUID identifying at least one of the client device or a user of the client device to the first Internet domain; and
generating a third message including (a) the GUID, (b) a cookie identifier associated with the second Internet domain, and (c) the login timestamp, the third message to cause generation of an identifier-to-cookie map at a second server of the second Internet domain.
