Builds behavioural and purchase-intent profiles across a very large retail network. There is no listing to search for yourself in, which is why most people assume it does not concern them. If you shop online in Britain, it probably does.
Why you come back
Most people-search sites keep buying fresh public records, and Criteo is one of them — a new identifier is created the next time you browse without opting out. A removed listing can reappear months later under a new URL. The reliable fix is cutting off the source where you can — in the UK that is the open electoral register — and re-checking on a schedule.
