Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and contingencies | Commitments and contingencies Contingencies From time to time we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. The amount of the provisions represents management’s latest estimate of the expected impact. Regulatory matters Following a complaint from Privacy International against a number of advertising technology companies with certain data protection authorities, including in France, France's Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (the "CNIL") opened a formal investigation in January 2020 against Criteo. After closure of the procedure and a formal hearing, Criteo received notice that the CNIL issued their decision on June 21, 2023, in which the CNIL retained alleged European Union's General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") violations but reduced the financial sanction against Criteo from the original proposed amount of €60 million ($65 million) to €40 million ($44 million). The decision relates to past matters and does not include any obligation for Criteo to change its current practices. Criteo is currently appealing this decision before the Conseil d’Etat. The €40 million ($43.3 million) penalty was applied against the previously accrued liability for loss contingency reflected in our financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2022, which amounted to €60 million ($65 million). Criteo issued the required sanction payment during the third quarter of 2023. Non income tax risks We have recorded a $31.9 million provision related to certain non income tax items accounted for under "ASC 450 Contingencies". These risks were identified and recognized as part of the Iponweb Acquisition. We have recorded an indemnification asset in the full amount of the provision as the Company is indemnified against certain tax liabilities under the FPA. The indemnification asset is recorded as part of "Other non current assets" on the consolidated statement of financial position.
