Audiohook is a US programmatic digital audio advertising platform that delivers and measures audio campaigns across streaming, podcast and connected audio inventory.
Audiohook is a programmatic digital audio advertising platform that helps brands and agencies plan, deliver and measure audio creatives across streaming services, podcast networks and connected audio inventory. It combines a tracking pixel on advertiser sites with audio impression beacons and DSP integrations.
Audiohook captures cookies, IP, user agent, audio impression events, listen through rates, brand lift signals, conversion events on advertiser sites and audience segment membership. The data are exchanged with downstream DSPs for retargeting and lookalike modelling.
Cookie storage on the advertiser site falls under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Listener profiling, audience syncing and US transfers require a documented Article 6(1)(a) GDPR consent.

Audiohook is operated from the United States. Transfers from the EEA require certification under the EU US Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses with a transfer impact assessment.
Sign a Data Processing Agreement, document Audiohook in your record of processing activities, run a DPIA, gate the pixel through your CMP and offer a user level opt out.
Websites using Audiohook must obtain user consent under GDPR regulations.
DPIA considerations
A DPIA is required because Audiohook combines listener profiling, programmatic auction signals and US transfers, which exceeds the EDPB criteria for high risk processing.
