Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and are unaudited. Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Except for the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year ending December 31, 2020. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the impact of the decline in business activity brought about by the Coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”) continues to evolve. As a result, many of our estimates and assumptions required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, our estimates may change materially in future periods. Adoption of New Accounting Standard In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 326 , which requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. As a result, the Company revised its impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of an incurred loss methodology related to its marketable securities and allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company adopted ASC 326 on January 1, 2020, using a modified retrospective transition method, which requires a cumulative-effect adjustment, if any, to the opening balance of retained earnings to be recognized on the date of adoption with prior periods not restated. The cumulative-effect adjustment recorded on January 1, 2020, is not material. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses (formerly Allowance for Doubtful Accounts) Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, are unsecured and do not bear interest. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its clients and certain advertisers when the Company’s agreements with its clients contain sequential liability terms that provide that the client payments are not due to the Company until the client has received payment from its clients who are advertisers. We maintain an allowance for credit losses for expected uncollectible accounts receivable, which is recorded as an offset to accounts receivable and changes in such are classified as general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Based on the implementation of CECL during the first quarter of 2020, the Company considers macro-economic factors and industry specific default rates in the valuation of trade receivables and the related allowance for credit losses . The industry specific default rates are applied to the advertiser’s industry in the case where the receivables are subject to sequential liability or the Company is engaged with the advertiser directly. The services of an outside valuation firm were used to assist in the determination of the macro-economic factors and the industry default rates . For the three months ended March 31, 2020, our assessment considered business and market disruptions caused by COVID-19 and estimates of credit defaults by industry. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) |

Income Taxes | Note 8—Income Taxes In determining the interim provision for income taxes, the Company has utilized the discrete effective tax rate method, as allowed by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740-270-30-18, “Income Taxes – Interim Reporting” For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the provision for income taxes included $24.3 million and $11.0 million, respectively, of benefits associated with stock-based awards. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company’s effective tax rate differed from the United States federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to tax benefits associated with employee exercises of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units, foreign tax rate differences, state taxes, and research and development tax credits. There were no material changes to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits during the three months ended March 31, 2020, and the Company does not expect to have any significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits through the end of the fiscal year. |

Commitments and Contingencies | Note 10— Commitments and Contingencies As of March 31, 2020 Refer to Note 5 — Leases for additional information regarding lease commitments. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has non-cancelable contractual commitments of obligations to its hosting services providers, marketing contracts and providers of software as a service, and these commitments were as follows (in thousands): Year Amount 2020 (for remaining nine months) $ 45,628 2021 32,915 2022 31,980 2023 30,051 2024 40,000 $ 180,574 Guarantees and Indemnification In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to clients, vendors, lessors, business partners, and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements, services to be provided by the Company or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with directors and certain officers and employees that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers or employees. No demands have been made upon the Company to provide indemnification under such agreements, and thus, there are no claims that the Company is aware of that could have a material effect on the Company’s balance sheet, statement of income or statement of cash flows. Accordingly, no amounts for any obligation have been recorded at March 31, 2020. Litigation From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of the various legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that any of these proceedings or other claims will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Employment Contracts The Company has entered into agreements with severance terms with certain employees and officers, all of whom are employed on an at-will basis, subject to certain severance obligations in the event of certain involuntary terminations. The Company may be required to accelerate the vesting of certain stock options in the event of changes in control, as defined, and involuntary terminations. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the impact of the decline in business activity brought about by the Coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”) continues to evolve. As a result, many of our estimates and assumptions required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, our estimates may change materially in future periods. |
Adoption of New Accounting Standard | Adoption of New Accounting Standard In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 326 , which requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. As a result, the Company revised its impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of an incurred loss methodology related to its marketable securities and allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company adopted ASC 326 on January 1, 2020, using a modified retrospective transition method, which requires a cumulative-effect adjustment, if any, to the opening balance of retained earnings to be recognized on the date of adoption with prior periods not restated. The cumulative-effect adjustment recorded on January 1, 2020, is not material. |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses (formerly Allowance for Doubtful Accounts) | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses (formerly Allowance for Doubtful Accounts) Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, are unsecured and do not bear interest. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its clients and certain advertisers when the Company’s agreements with its clients contain sequential liability terms that provide that the client payments are not due to the Company until the client has received payment from its clients who are advertisers. We maintain an allowance for credit losses for expected uncollectible accounts receivable, which is recorded as an offset to accounts receivable and changes in such are classified as general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Based on the implementation of CECL during the first quarter of 2020, the Company considers macro-economic factors and industry specific default rates in the valuation of trade receivables and the related allowance for credit losses . The industry specific default rates are applied to the advertiser’s industry in the case where the receivables are subject to sequential liability or the Company is engaged with the advertiser directly. The services of an outside valuation firm were used to assist in the determination of the macro-economic factors and the industry default rates . For the three months ended March 31, 2020, our assessment considered business and market disruptions caused by COVID-19 and estimates of credit defaults by industry. |
