Onsite Display Formats

As of November 2025, Criteo has redesigned and renamed five formats for Onsite Display. Those formats are simpler to implement and fit better with current standards and technical constraints. We strongly recommended using the new formats for any new implementation, as legacy formats will be progressively phased out.

What changed?

The five following formats have been redesigned and renamed: Flagship, Showcase, Butterfly, Digital Shelf Talker and Display Panel. The mobile-specific formats Branded Header and Interactive Header were integrated into the new formats. TheIAB Banners` remains unchanged.
