30%
of top sites load the Meta/Facebook Pixel
Roughly 30% of the top 1 million sites embed the Meta Pixel, which fires conversion and behavioural events back to Facebook regardless of whether the visitor has a Facebook account.
Context
Even logged-out and never-registered users have shadow profiles built from pixel data. EU regulators have repeatedly fined sites for sending pixel data to Meta without valid consent.
Key takeaways
- Pixel data flows even to non-Facebook users.
- Pixel use is a recurring source of GDPR enforcement actions.
