Table of Contents Placeholder

Tag Configuration

First go to the Tag Marketplace and add the Criteo OneTag to your profile (see how to add a tag).

After adding the tag, configure the below settings:

1. Title: The default title is "Criteo OneTag". You have the option to replace it with a descriptive name of choice.
2. Account (Required): Enter your Criteo account number. If you have more than one account, you may enter multiple account numbers as a comma-separated list.
   

   You may override or dynamically set this value using the Tag's Data Mappings tab (more on this below).

3. Event Name: Select the event (also called Advertiser Events) that corresponds to the page type you want to include Criteo OneTag on.
   • viewHome: Set this Event on your home page. The account number is sent.
   • viewItem: Set this Event on a product page. The account number, product ID, and user segment data is sent.
   • viewList: Set this Event on a page that lists products. The account number, product IDs, and keywords are sent.
   • viewBasket: Set this Event on a cart/basket page. The account number, product IDs, product quantities, and product prices data are sent.
   • viewSearch: Set this Event on a search or search results page.
   • trackTransaction: Set this event on the transaction page.

   If you want to trigger multiple events with a single instance of Criteo OneTag, use the Data Mappings tab.

4. Override Base URL (Optional): This field is pre-populated with the default location of the .js file. You have the option to override it but only if Criteo has instructed to host their file locally.

Load Rules

Load Rules determine when and where to load an instance of Criteo OneTag on your site.

Recommended Load Rule: Create custom Load Rules to load the tag on any page where you want trigger Criteo Events. For example, if you are tracking conversion events, load this tag on the checkout page or the confirmation page.

Data Mappings

Mapping is the process of sending data from a data layer variable to the corresponding destination variable of the vendor tag. For instructions on how to map a variable to a tag destination, see Data Mappings.

The destination variables for Criteo OneTag are built into the Data Mapping tab. Available categories are:

Standard 

Tag destination	Description
Account ID (overrides account)	Criteo account number
Event(s) (overrides default)	Name of the Criteo event (see Event Name under Tag Configuration)
Search Keyword (for viewList)	Search string (optional for the viewList event) Make sure the Variable you are mapping contains a string value
Customer ID (ci)	Customer's unique identifier. Criteo requires that this ID not contain personally identifiable information such as names, email addresses, unencrypted phone numbers, etc. Leave it empty if the customer is unknown or your site does not have unique IDs. NOTE: This variable is not related to E-Commerce Extension's _ccustid variable.
Deduplication/Sales Attribution (dd)	Conversion attribution flag The default value is 1, meaning the conversion is attributed to Criteo. A values of 0 means you are not attributing the conversion to Criteo. Mapping to this destination overrides the default.
New Customer (nc) (set to 0 or 1)	New customer flag. The default value is 1, meaning the customer is new. A value of 0 means the customer is not new.
Site Type (site_type)	Version of the site. Possible values are: m - The mobile version of your site t - The tablet version of your site d (default) - The classic version of your site. This is often the site that browsers will access.
User Segment (si)	User segment tracking value. For example, a value of "1" can denote the home page, while a value of "2" can denote all other page types.
Email/Hashed Email (hashed_email) [Array]	Hased/unhashed email address of the customer
Login/Hashed Login (hashed_login) [Array]	Hased/Unhashed username set for the account
setData Value (setData.###)	Additional data points to be set and sent

E-Commerce

Since the Criteo OneTag is e-commerce enabled, it will automatically use the default E-Commerce Extension mappings. Manually mapping in this category is generally not needed unless:

• you want to override any Extension mappings
• your desired ecommerce variable is not offered in the Extension

Tag Destination	Description	E-Commerce Extension Variable
Order ID (order_id) (Overrides _corder)	Unique transaction identifier.	_corder
Product IDs (overrides _cprod) [Array]	Unique identifier of each product in the product array	_cprod
