  Criteo ships client-side, embeddable integration surfaces for retailers — the
  half of the HookLogic product line that runs in the retailer's own storefront
  rather than in a brand's back office. These are distinct from the server-side
  client libraries in packages/: they are browser JavaScript that a retailer
  drops into page templates to render and measure sponsored placements. Both
  families are documented in the Retailer Integration section of the developer
  portal.
families:
- family: BeaconSDK
  kind: javascript-library
  description: >-
    Criteo's lightweight external JavaScript library that automates the full
    ad-beacon lifecycle (load, view, click) on web, so a retailer does not build
    or maintain custom tracking logic. Beacon URLs returned by the Delivery API
    are attached to HTML elements as data- attributes and the SDK fires them.

- family: OneTag
  kind: javascript-tag
  description: >-
    The Criteo OneTag JavaScript integration. A tag fired on each page of the
    shopping journey that logs user events, builds audiences, sends ad requests,
    and — unlike the direct ad-server integration — injects the returned ads onto
    the page itself along with load/view/click beacons.
