Pharmacy webshops constantly process personal data of their visitors, while selling privacy-sensitive products such as antidepressants, diabetes medicines or addiction treatments. Usercentrics scanned the 150 most-used pharmacy webstores in the EU, analyzing the extent to which website operators are complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The results:
- 89% of the most popular online pharmacies do not meet GDPR requirements with regard to obtaining end-user consent before processing personal data through the use of cookies.
- 55% of all non-necessary cookies were activated and in use on the website’s landing page without any user consent.
- 62% of all cookies set without the user’s consent are third-party marketing cookies.
With consumers increasingly demanding enhanced data privacy from companies, these results are particularly worrying for a privacy-sensitive sector.
Breaking consumer trust, risking damage to brand reputation and breaching core requirements of the GDPR, the pharma e-commerce market in Europe – poised to grow by almost 9.5 billion euros during 2020-2024 according to research from Technavio – paints a worrying picture of data privacy compliance failures.
Tilman Harmeling, Data expert of Usercentrics states: “Our deep scanning technology revealed major GDPR compliance failures across the privacy-sensitive online pharmacy industry and highlights the damaging effects on customer relations. In the years since the GDPR took effect, data privacy has evolved from an obscure legal requirement into a strong consumer demand and metric of brand reputation. Respecting end-user consent through transparent and compliant use of cookies and trackers, is therefore vital for online businesses wishing to build consumer trust. ”
