Kopsavilkums	Online cluster sampling applies the classic cluster sampling logic to internet-based research: naturally occurring digital groups — such as online communities, email lists, forum memberships, or institutional user registries — serve as clusters, and selected clusters are surveyed in full or partially via web-based instruments. It offers a practical route to probability-based online samples when no complete list of individuals exists but lists of digital groups are accessible.	Cluster sampling is a probability sampling technique in which the population is divided into naturally occurring groups (clusters), a random sample of clusters is selected, and all — or a random subset of — members within each selected cluster are studied. It is especially practical when a complete population list is unavailable or when units are geographically dispersed, making individual random selection prohibitively expensive. One-stage cluster sampling surveys every member of selected clusters; two-stage designs add a second random draw within clusters.
