To integrate Criteo with Simon, we need access to your custom Criteo app, which subsequently itself needs access to your Criteo account. Providing this access is two parts:

• Create a Developer App in Criteo and configure it to allow access to your data
• Enter your Criteo credentials in Simon

Follow the steps below:

🚧

Existing Criteo Integration Credentials as of November 2021

The Criteo API has been updated as of November, 2021. If you previously authorized Criteo with Simon, you need to create a new Criteo Developer App and enter your credentials in Simon using the directions below.

Create a Criteo Developer App

Before you begin, you must have a Criteo Developer Account. Review Criteo Developers; Getting Started.

1. Log in to your Criteo Developer account at https://partners.criteo.com.
2. Click Create a new app:

3. In the New app project screen, complete the Name and Description fields with the following:

• Name: Simon Integration
• Description: An app to integrate with Simon Data
• Image: Not necessary

4. Click Create app.

Configure app details

5. Click the Create New Key button. This downloads a file that contains the information needed to authenticate in Simon. Take note of these credentials for later:
   • client_id (username): <LONG STRING OF LETTERS AND NUMBERS>
   • client_secret (password): <LONG STRING OF LETTERS AND NUMBERS>

6. In the application setting, under the Service Heading, verify Marketing solutions is selected then click Save:

7. Authorization displays next. From the Audiences Domain drop down, select Manage then click Save:

Activate the app

🚧

Once You Activate, You Can't Edit

Once you activate, you can't edit so confirm you assigned Manage to Audiences in the previous step. If you miss this, you'll have to start the process over and create a new app.

8. Click Activate app:

9. Click Generate new URL to receive the consent URL. Note the URL for later. It'll look something like this:
   https://consent.criteo.com/request?nonce=********************************

Grant access to your new app

10. Log in to marketing.criteo.com with an Admin Account.
11. Once you're logged in as an admin, navigate to your consent URL from step 9 (copy/paste in the address bar) then follow the instructions to allow access.
