# Criteo

Airbridge supports integration with Criteo. With the integration, you can track and measure the performance of Criteo campaigns in Airbridge.

## Collecting Data with Tracking Links

Navigate to **\[Integrations]>\[Ad Channel Integration]** in your Airbridge dashboard and select **Criteo**. In the **\[Tracking Link]** tab, you can create and manage tracking links to measure the performance of your Criteo campaigns.

For detailed instructions on creating and managing tracking links in Airbridge, refer to the articles below.

* [Creating Tracking Links](/en/guides/creating-a-new-tracking-link)
* [Tracking Link Management](/en/guides/tracking-link-management)

<Danger>
  **Attention**

  Set up postback before using tracking links. Postback must be set up before data collection to ensure all collected data is sent to the ad channel. If not, data collected through tracking links will not be sent to the ad channel.
</Danger>

### Choose the tracking link type

When you complete the tracking link generation, you will get 3 tracking links: click-type, server-to-server click-type, and impression-type.

</Frame>

The correct tracking link type must be used for tracking performance, depending on your campaign type. Refer to the information below.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="For user acquisition campaigns">
    Share the click-type tracking link with your Criteo account manager. Users will be redirected to the destination configured in Airbridge.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="For retargeting campaigns">
    Share the server-to-server click type tracking link and the scheme deep link with your Criteo account manager. Users will be redirected to the scheme deep link’s destination.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

<Note>
  **Not sure which tracking link type to use?**

  Consult with your Airbridge CSM or your Criteo account manager.
</Note>

## Attribution rules

In the **\[Attribution Rules]** tab, you can configure the lookback window and attribution window for Criteo. Click **Go to edit page** to move to the **\[Management]>\[Attribution Rules]** page, where you can edit attribution rules.

Refer to this [article](/en/guides/setting-attribution-window) for detailed instructions on configuring the lookback window and attribution window.

## Cost Integration Setup

1. Navigate to **\[Integrations]>\[Ad Channel Integration]** in your Airbridge dashboard. Select **Criteo\_New**.

2. Select the **\[Cost Integration]** tab. Switch on the **Criteo Cost Integration** toggle and click **Log in to Criteo**.

3. Sign in to the Criteo account you want to connect with Airbridge. The Criteo account must have been assigned the administrator role in the [Commerce Growth dashboard](https://marketing.criteo.com/Home).

4. Scroll down in the popup window and click **Approve** to grant access to Airbridge.

5. Select the Criteo account to connect and click **Confirm**.

6. When the popup window closes, the Criteo account connected to Airbridge will appear in the integrated account list. The status will show “Waiting” for up to 4 hours from the time the account is added and will change to “Success” when data is pulled for the first time.

## Managing Cost Integration

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Pause cost integration">
    Turn off the toggle to pause the integration. Airbridge stops collecting cost data once the integration is paused.

    Any data collected before the pause remains available in Airbridge reports.

    Airbridge retains the credentials of the integrated account, so you can resume the integration at any time by turning the toggle on. However, deleting the integrated account removes these credentials.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Delete integrated account">
    Select the account from the integrated account list and click **Delete** to remove the account. To re-integrate the account after deletion, set up the integration from the beginning.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

### Integration status

Upon submitting your ad account information to Airbridge, you can check if the integration is running. The status may show “Waiting” even when the account is successfully added if no data has been pulled yet.

For more details on the integration status and data import schedule, refer to the below information.

<AccordionGroup>

    | Success     | Import complete. New data received from the ad channel. The **\[Last Updated]** timestamp reflects the latest import.                                                                     |
    | No new data | Import complete, but no new data was available from the ad channel. Check again at the next import.                                                                                       |
    | Failed      | Import failed. Possible causes:<br />- The ad channel API is not responding.<br />- The ad account details are incorrect.<br />- The ad channel permissions are not configured correctly. |

### Reporting

The data pulled from Criteo can be viewed in the Actuals Report using the metrics and GroupBys below.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Metrics for cost data">
    | Metrics               | Description                                          |

    | Impressions (Channel) | The number of impressions provided by the ad channel |
    | Cost (Channel)        | The ad spend provided by the ad channel              |

    <Note>
      **Difference between Clicks and Clicks (Channel)**

      Both **Clicks** and **Clicks (Channel)** show click count, but the data source differs:

      * **Clicks**: Collected through Airbridge tracking links
      * **Clicks (Channel)**: Provided by the ad channel

      Any metric with **(Channel)** in its name represents data provided by the integrated ad channel. The same applies to **Impressions** and **Impressions (Channel)**.
    </Note>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="GroupBys for cost data">
    <Info>
      **Note**

      Use the groupBys below to break down cost data in Airbridge reports. Available groupBys vary by ad channel.

## Attention

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Discrepancy in cost data">
    Airbridge pulls the cost data from the past 7 days, every 4 hours, 6 times a day starting at 3:00 PM (UTC). As the updates are not real-time, there may be data discrepancies between Airbridge and the ad channel, depending on the time of reporting.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="GroupBys for the Cost (Channel) metric">
    The **Cost (Channel)** metric, which shows your ad spend reported by the ad channel, displays value only when used with specific GroupBys.

    Below are the GroupBys that can be used in the Actuals Report to view data with the metric:

    * Channel
    * Campaign
    * Ad Group
    * Ad Creative

    Depending on the data reported, the metric may not display any value even if you use the GroupBys above.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="App time zone and currency settings">
    The data pulled via cost integration is provided by the app time zone and app standard currency set within Airbridge.

    To minimize data discrepancy, align your app’s currency and time zone settings in your Airbridge dashboard and your ad channel’s dashboard.

    * [App Time Zone Setup](/en/guides/set-app-timezone)
    * [App Standard Currency Setup](/en/guides/set-app-standard-currency)
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Campaign details advised not to be edited">
    Once the cost integration is enabled, the following campaign details are advised not to be edited to avoid any error in pulling data into Airbridge.
