1. A computer-implemented system for adding web-based content to a web page, comprising:
an interface that is configured to interpret commands from multiple distributed web-page controls that are included in a plurality of web pages by identifying a uniform resource identifier (URI) that is associated with each of the selected web-page controls and that corresponds to display content that is to be delivered to a personalized page that is hosted by a server system for a user account; a tracking database that stores, for each device identifier of multiple device identifiers, multiple URIs that correspond to display content that is to be delivered to a personalized page; a personalized web page database that stores, for each of a plurality of user accounts for an information provider, multiple URIs that correspond to display content that is to be delivered to a personalized page; and a web control processor to:
receive from the interface a particular URI that is related to a web-page control that was selected by a user using a particular device,store, in the tracking database, the particular URI in association with a particular device identifier that identifies the particular device;identify that a user has used the particular computing device to log into a particular user account for the information provider,determine, in response to identifying that a user has used the particular computing device to log into the particular user account, an association between the particular user account and the particular device identifier;associate the multiple URIs that are stored in the tracking database for the particular device identifier with the particular user account by storing the multiple URIs in the personalized web page database for the particular user account, the association of the multiple URIs with the particular user account being performed in response to determining the association between the particular user account and the particular device identifier; andadd content related to the multiple URIs that are stored in the personalized web page database for the particular user account to a personalized web page that corresponds to the particular user account.
