The consumer research was conducted in March 2019 in the UK, France, Germany, Poland and Spain. Key findings include:
Improving consumer awareness and understanding of online data usage and addressing misconceptions increase positivity towards online advertising
-
Despite slight market differences, 3 in 4 consumers have a perceived general awareness of GDPR, but not necessarily an understanding of its role and impact
-
Understanding of the use of data in online advertising varies by age and market
Improving consumer trust in how their data is used helps perceptions and encourages openness from consumers
-
40% of respondents agree they feel more knowledgeable since GDPR about the way in which information about them is collected and used online
-
Higher levels of knowledge of GDPR tend to coincide with higher levels of knowledge about online data, comfort sharing data and comfort with online behavioural advertising (OBA)
Providing consumers with increased transparency over their online data is business-critical and EDAA can help improve this further
-
Despite its discreet positioning, 1 in 3 consumers have used the AdChoices Icon
-
Understanding of online behavioural advertising (OBA) increases when using the AdChoices icon and youronlinechoices.eu
