How AI is used
Criteo is a commerce intelligence platform for advertisers, retailers, and media owners. It uses a dataset of shopping behavior and commerce AI to deliver ads across the open internet, including retail media networks and social platforms.
The platform is designed for ecommerce stores, retail brands, and agencies that target in-market audiences. It supports a full-funnel approach, from reaching new potential customers to re-engaging previous visitors through dynamic retargeting.
Buyers can use different modules based on their needs, such as Criteo GO for self-service performance ads or Commerce Max for retail media. The platform uses first-party data and the Google Privacy Sandbox to support addressability in a post-cookie environment.
Buyers should confirm that the IO-based pricing model fits their budget and that the technical setup, including the Criteo OneTag and product feed import, aligns with their current website infrastructure.
