Nixon Privacy Index
Nixon Digital scanned 200 major European food and personal care brand websites and found that 80% sent visitor data to tech companies before users made a cookie choice. The hook was a clear, press-friendly finding: consent banners were often in place, but tracking still started before consent.
Why it worked: It paired a clean, sector-specific compliance stat (80% breach) with a gotcha mechanic—consent tools present but bypassed—creating immediate regulatory jeopardy.
The lesson: Consider scanning 100 top sites in any niche for a single obvious rule breach where the ‘safety’ tool exists but fails.
