1. In an environment in which devices are intermittently grouped into clusters, a method for assigning a stable cluster identifier to devices in a cluster, the method comprising:

  • receiving information about devices in a cluster, wherein the devices were determined to be in the cluster based on determining that the devices are expected to be private devices used by a particular user;

    identifying a stable attribute in the information about the devices in the cluster, wherein the stable attribute is identified based on the stable attribute being more likely than another attribute in the information to be present in subsequent cluster device information for the same particular user; and

    assigning a cluster identifier to the devices in the cluster based on the stable attribute.
