Criteo

Last updated on Jul 03, 2025

Criteo is a digital marketing technology tool that specializes in delivering personalized advertising to consumers based on their online browsing behavior. It allows advertisers to deliver relevant ads to potential customers across multiple devices and channels, including desktop, mobile, social media, and email. It uses machine learning algorithms to analyze vast amounts of data and deliver targeted ads in real-time, with the aim of increasing customer engagement and driving sales for its clients.

Hevo uses Open Authorization (OAuth) to authenticate your Criteo account.

You can replicate the data from your Criteo account to a Destination database or data warehouse using Hevo Pipelines. Refer to section, Data Model for the list of supported objects.


Limitations

  • Hevo does not load data from a column into the Destination table if its size exceeds 16 MB, and skips the Event if it exceeds 40 MB. If the Event contains a column larger than 16 MB, Hevo attempts to load the Event after dropping that column’s data. However, if the Event size still exceeds 40 MB, then the Event is also dropped. As a result, you may see discrepancies between your Source and Destination data. To avoid such a scenario, ensure that each Event contains less than 40 MB of data.
