A system may receive a content request associated with a user device. The content request may include information that identifies a subscriber associated with the user device and information that identifies a content provider associated with the content request. The system may determine a unique identification header (UIDH), associated with the subscriber, based on the content request. The system may determine randomized information associated with encrypting the UIDH. The system may encrypt the UIDH to create a transactional identifier. The UIDH may be encrypted based on the randomized information and a shared key. The system may insert the transactional identifier and the randomized information in the content request to create a modified content request. The system may provide the modified content request including the transactional identifier and the randomized information.
