Shein
This site leans hard on your data.
3/5 checks · 25 third parties · 20 cookies · capped at D
Regulators have penalized and sued Shein over its data practices, including a major French fine for unlawful tracking and a state lawsuit over undisclosed data exposure. A clean marketing site can’t change that — and a homepage scan can’t see what the app does once you log in — so this grade can’t rise above a D.
Why this grade is capped · sourced, not vibes
France's privacy regulator fined Shein 150 million euros in 2025 for dropping advertising trackers on visitors even after they refused consent.
