Overview

This guide explains how to onboard to the 3P SSP curation data exchange model where Criteo provides access to Criteo Commerce Audiences and makes them available in a Criteo-owned Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket for the partner to pull. In this model, each partner gets a dedicated bucket, Criteo lands partner-formatted files into that bucket, and the partner reads or replicates the files using access granted by Criteo.

This is intended to be the preferred shared model because it standardizes onboarding across partners, reduces per-partner operational overhead, and gives Criteo and the partner a cleaner, repeatable exchange pattern than maintaining a different delivery setup for every SSP.

This guide describes the default shared bucket model. If a different delivery setup is needed, confirm the approved exception path during onboarding.
