Website Privacy Index 2026

Restaurants Privacy Index

Restaurant, QSR and fast casual sites. We scored 10,653 of them on what happens to a visitor before they agree to anything. The mean came out at 9.8 out of 100.

This index covers restaurant, hospitality and independent ecommerce sites. It is not a sample of the web as a whole, and the figures should not be read as one. Every figure describes what an automated scan could observe on a public page. A site recorded as having no consent platform detected may run one the scanner could not see, and an absence of findings is not a clean bill of health.

The sites that did run a banner

Only 476 of the 10,653 restaurants sites in this edition had a consent platform the scanner could detect. Of those, 206 still fired tracking before consent or after a refusal. That base is small, so treat it as an indication rather than a rate.

How this was measured

Each site was loaded the way a first-time visitor loads it. The scan recorded whether a consent platform appeared, when it appeared, what fired before anyone interacted with it, what fired after a refusal, and whether a privacy preferences link was reachable.

Tiers describe the mechanism observed, not the company. They are assigned from what the scan saw rather than from the score, because the score awards points where a vendor simply isn't present, and that would flatter sites that run no tags at all.

  • Gated. Consent platform detected, Consent Mode v2 observed, no tracking seen before consent or after denial
  • Partial. Consent platform detected, but with gaps: no Consent Mode v2 signal, or tracking seen anyway
  • Exposed. No consent platform detected, though a privacy or cookie preferences link was found
  • Unprotected. No consent platform and no privacy preferences link detected

Records: 18,613 scanned, 18,524 carrying a privacy result. Crawl window: January to August 2026. Nothing here is a legal conclusion, and no site is described as compliant or non-compliant.
