Criteo 101

Investor Presentation

January 2021

Safe Harbor Statement

This presentation contains "forward-looking"statements that are based on our management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, financing plans, projections, competitive position, industry environment, potential growth opportunities, potential market opportunities and the effects of competition and other actions by our counterparties. Importantly, at this time, the COVID-19 pandemic is having a significant impact on Criteo's business, financial condition, cash flow and results of operations. There are significant uncertainties about the duration and extent of the impact of the virus. The dynamic nature of these circumstances means that what is said in this presentation could materially change at any time.

Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by terms such as "anticipates," "believes,"

"could," "seeks," "estimates," "intends," "may," "plans," "potential," "predicts," "projects," "should," "will," "would" or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements represent our management's beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this presentation, and nothing in this presentation should be regarded as a representation by any person that these beliefs or assumptions will take

place or occur. You should read the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 2, 2020, and in subsequent Quarterly

Reports on Form 10-Q, including the Risk Factors set forth therein and the exhibits thereto, as well as future filings and reports by the Company, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC rules. As required by Regulation G, we have provided a

reconciliation of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, which is available in the Appendix slides. Reconciliations also

are available in our earnings release for the third quarter of 2020, which is available on our website at www.criteo.com.

Criteo Direct Bidder

Direct access to Criteo's unique demand

Criteo Direct Bidder (CDB) allows Criteo to bid on publisher

Launched in Q2 2017, already connected to

inventory directly through the ad server without the need to

funnel demand through Supply Side Platforms (SSPs) or exchanges

Direct integration with publishers gives Criteo a first-partyfootprint

on these inventories

at the end of Q3 2020

Benefits

All of the Criteo bid goes to the publisher; none is

for the

taken by the SSP for fees (typically 10%-20%)

User matching between the Publisher and Criteo is

much more timely and complete than matching

  • Advertising in app uses app identifiers, not cookies

"App" includes "Web-to-App", which uses web

demand, i.e. shopping intent captured on

advertisers' websites (where we access first-

party cookies) to buy app inventory

  • Retail Media only uses first-partycookies and contextual data
  • Criteo Direct Bidder gives us direct access to supply, i.e. first-partyinventory

First-party Footprint

As a , we are integrated into all our advertisers' and direct publishers' websites We have a privileged position to embed ourselves into their workflow

This means that a large amount of our data is first party and provides us the means to create identification solutions for our clients, including for user-personalized advertising

We grow our first-party data footprint through

  • More direct publisher integrations on both web and app
  • Onboarding first-partyidentifiers (like hashed emails) from our advertisers and publishers

74

Consumer Data & Identity Graph

Criteo Shopper Graph contains 2.5 billion users matched across multiple identifiers 98% of identities include non-cookieidentifiers

We enrich the Criteo Shopper Graph to ensure it becomes even less cookie-dependent over time, through

  • Additional persistent identifiers
  • New identification capabilities through trusted partnerships

75

Product Portfolio

We have diversified our solutions over the past years

We operate using multiple cookie-lesssolutions to personalize ads in Criteo's App and Retail Media businesses

Our full-stackDemand Side Platform, or DSP, product strategy reduces our cookie exposure along two dimensions

  • Going upper-funnel
  • Broadening consumer reach across multiple non-cookie channels

Going "upper- funnel" means

less reliance on individual identifiers

• Grow audience-based targeting

(e.g. with our Consideration solutions)

• Expand contextual advertising capabilities

Broadening consumer reach in apps, video and CTV means

Adapt measurement to non-cookie environments

either non-cookie environments or reduced cookie exposure overall

76

Industry Leadership

Criteo is company in the world

Criteo subscribes to World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) influence groups

  • Privacy Community Group
  • Improving Web Advertising Business Group

Our SPARROW proposal to Google's privacy sandbox through the W3C is an industry-first trial to improve Chrome's TURTLEDOV initiative

As per Google's Chrome team invite, we participate in the "Web Platform Incubator Community Group", which aims at making it as easy as

possible for developers to propose new platform features for the benefit of users and industry participants

With a focus on driving privacy, control and transparency, we continue to make sure digital advertising funds the open Internet, keeping services free to users and empowering them to choose their browsing experience
