Reviewed source snapshot
On 2026-08-19, Criteo’s rights material described an EEA/UK erasure route and a browser-specific service control. The browser control withdrew consent for Criteo services in the current browser, removed Criteo cookies there, and could need repeating after a browser or device change. This local summary—not a live third-party page—is the planning source for this profile.
Supported goals
delete — Criteo’s rights page directs EEA/UK erasure requests through its current contact form. Use only after the user confirms the relevant location and the live page still offers that route.opt-out — the browser control withdraws consent to Criteo services for the current browser and deletes Criteo cookies in that browser. It is not a comprehensive deletion request.block — the same browser control stops Criteo’s consent-based data collection and ads in that browser. Record it as browser-specific and repeat it for other browsers or devices as Criteo instructs.
Channels and required capabilities
- Channel: browser form or browser-specific Criteo control
- Harness capabilities: browser and filesystem; email may be required for a response
- Destination:
criteo-rights or criteo-browser-control — resolve only after a user-approved external-navigation preview
Minimum known fields
- Request type — deletion, objection, or current-browser service control
- Country or region — only when the live rights form uses it to route the request
- Browser or device context — only for the browser-specific control
- Other identifiers — live form only; the user enters them directly
Procedure
- Confirm whether the user seeks EEA/UK erasure or a browser-specific advertising choice; do not collapse them into one request.
- After the user approves the external-navigation preview, open only the Criteo-branded destination matching the selected route and compare it with this snapshot.
- For an erasure request, select only the supported legal or policy choice. For a browser control, explain that it applies to the current browser/device context.
- Show the exact destination, form selections, disclosed fields, limitations, and local progress entry before submission.
- The user completes any final verification or browser interaction after explicit approval.
Manual checkpoints
- CAPTCHA: unknown; manual if shown
- MFA or OTP: unknown; manual if shown
- Login: not observed for the reviewed entry points
- Identity documents: unknown; stop if requested
- Other: Criteo’s rights form requires JavaScript; do not substitute an unverified form or email address if it is unavailable
Evidence and status interpretation
The browser control evidences a choice in the current browser, not deletion of all Criteo-held information. A submitted rights form proves only that the request was sent. Record later confirmation, denial, retention explanation, or completion as separately observed statuses.
Limitations
- Criteo says its browser choice is saved in a dedicated cookie and may need to be repeated after clearing browser data, changing devices, or changing the operating system.
- Criteo can continue some processing collected before a browser choice on another stated basis; do not represent the browser choice as global deletion.
- Rights, exceptions, and identity verification depend on location and the live privacy flow.
