The study found around 58% of consumers in the United Kingdom (61%) and United States (54%) felt positive about receiving a hyper-personalised online advert. Almost a quarter of overall respondents also feel very positive about hyper-personalised online adverts.

Interestingly, the study found that consumers are generally open to share their personal information if they get a tangible benefit in return. In contrast, only 10% of US consumers and a mere 6% of UK consumers would reconsider purchasing from a brand if they track their online searches.
