From March to August 2025, March was the month that had the most website traffic to ebay.com. The consumer-to-consumer (C2C) e-commerce website reached a total of over ****million visits in that month, with the majority being from mobile devices. Popularity on multiple fronts Although eBay is popular on mobile devices, monthly downloads of its mobile app have been trending in the wrong direction since peaking in June 2021. Still, in April 2024, ebay.com was the second most popular e-commerce and shopping website worldwide, accounting for more than ***** percent of visits to sites in this category. Slow and steady In the second quarter of 2023, eBay’s gross merchandise volume (GMV) amounted to nearly **** billion U.S. dollars. That is no small number, but is only a small increase compared to the lowest GMV recorded by the company since the first quarter of 2020 - **** billion U.S. dollars in the third quarter of 2022. Since then, the company's GMV has been on a slow increase. However, while GMV figures begin to achieve steady growth once again, the e-commerce platform's once *** million active buyers have plateaued at *** million.

General data recollected for the studio " Analysis of the Quantitative Impact of Social Networks on Web Traffic of Cybermedia in the 27 Countries of the European Union".
Four research questions are posed: what percentage of the total web traffic generated by cybermedia in the European Union comes from social networks? Is said percentage higher or lower than that provided through direct traffic and through the use of search engines via SEO positioning? Which social networks have a greater impact? And is there any degree of relationship between the specific weight of social networks in the web traffic of a cybermedia and circumstances such as the average duration of the user's visit, the number of page views or the bounce rate understood in its formal aspect of not performing any kind of interaction on the visited page beyond reading its content?
To answer these questions, we have first proceeded to a selection of the cybermedia with the highest web traffic of the 27 countries that are currently part of the European Union after the United Kingdom left on December 31, 2020. In each nation we have selected five media using a combination of the global web traffic metrics provided by the tools Alexa (https://www.alexa.com/), which ceased to be operational on May 1, 2022, and SimilarWeb (https:// www.similarweb.com/). We have not used local metrics by country since the results obtained with these first two tools were sufficiently significant and our objective is not to establish a ranking of cybermedia by nation but to examine the relevance of social networks in their web traffic.
In all cases, cybermedia whose property corresponds to a journalistic company have been selected, ruling out those belonging to telecommunications portals or service providers; in some cases they correspond to classic information companies (both newspapers and televisions) while in others they refer to digital natives, without this circumstance affecting the nature of the research proposed.
Below we have proceeded to examine the web traffic data of said cybermedia. The period corresponding to the months of October, November and December 2021 and January, February and March 2022 has been selected. We believe that this six-month stretch allows possible one-time variations to be overcome for a month, reinforcing the precision of the data obtained.
To secure this data, we have used the SimilarWeb tool, currently the most precise tool that exists when examining the web traffic of a portal, although it is limited to that coming from desktops and laptops, without taking into account those that come from mobile devices, currently impossible to determine with existing measurement tools on the market.
It includes:
Web traffic general data: average visit duration, pages per visit and bounce rate Web traffic origin by country Percentage of traffic generated from social media over total web traffic Distribution of web traffic generated from social networks Comparison of web traffic generated from social netwoks with direct and search procedures

This dataset supplements publication "Multilingual Scraper of Privacy Policies and Terms of Service" at ACM CSLAW’25, March 25–27, 2025, München, Germany. It includes the first 12 months of scraped policies and terms from about 800k websites, see concrete numbers below.
The following table lists the amount of websites visited per month:
Month | Number of websites |
---|---|
2024-01 | 551'148 |
2024-02 | 792'921 |
2024-03 | 844'537 |
2024-04 | 802'169 |
2024-05 | 805'878 |
2024-06 | 809'518 |
2024-07 | 811'418 |
2024-08 | 813'534 |
2024-09 | 814'321 |
2024-10 | 817'586 |
2024-11 | 828'662 |
2024-12 | 827'101 |
The amount of websites visited should always be higher than the number of jobs (Table 1 of the paper) as a website may redirect, resulting in two websites scraped or it has to be retried.
To simplify the access, we release the data in large CSVs. Namely, there is one file for policies and another for terms per month. All of these files contain all metadata that are usable for the analysis. If your favourite CSV parser reports the same numbers as above then our dataset is correctly parsed. We use ‘,’ as a separator, the first row is the heading and strings are in quotes.
Since our scraper sometimes collects other documents than policies and terms (for how often this happens, see the evaluation in Sec. 4 of the publication) that might contain personal data such as addresses of authors of websites that they maintain only for a selected audience. We therefore decided to reduce the risks for websites by anonymizing the data using Presidio. Presidio substitutes personal data with tokens. If your personal data has not been effectively anonymized from the database and you wish for it to be deleted, please contact us.
The uncompressed dataset is about 125 GB in size, so you will need sufficient storage. This also means that you likely cannot process all the data at once in your memory, so we split the data in months and in files for policies and terms.
The files have the following names:
Both files contain the following metadata columns:
website_month_id
- identification of crawled websitejob_id
- one website can have multiple jobs in case of redirects (but most commonly has only one)website_index_status
- network state of loading the index page. This is resolved by the Chromed DevTools Protocol.
DNS_ERROR
- domain cannot be resolvedOK
- all fineREDIRECT
- domain redirect to somewhere elseTIMEOUT
- the request timed outBAD_CONTENT_TYPE
- 415 Unsupported Media TypeHTTP_ERROR
- 404 errorTCP_ERROR
- error in the network connectionUNKNOWN_ERROR
- unknown errorwebsite_lang
- language of index page detected based on langdetect
librarywebsite_url
- the URL of the website sampled from the CrUX list (may contain subdomains, etc). Use this as a unique identifier for connecting data between months.job_domain_status
- indicates the status of loading the index page. Can be:
OK
- all works well (at the moment, should be all entries)BLACKLISTED
- URL is on our list of blocked URLsUNSAFE
- website is not safe according to save browsing API by GoogleLOCATION_BLOCKED
- country is in the list of blocked countriesjob_started_at
- when the visit of the website was startedjob_ended_at
- when the visit of the website was endedjob_crux_popularity
- JSON with all popularity ranks of the website this monthjob_index_redirect
- when we detect that the domain redirects us, we stop the crawl and create a new job with the target URL. This saves time if many websites redirect to one target, as it will be crawled only once. The index_redirect
is then the job.id
corresponding to the redirect target.job_num_starts
- amount of crawlers that started this job (counts restarts in case of unsuccessful crawl, max is 3)job_from_static
- whether this job was included in the static selection (see Sec. 3.3 of the paper)job_from_dynamic
- whether this job was included in the dynamic selection (see Sec. 3.3 of the paper) - this is not exclusive with from_static
- both can be true when the lists overlap.job_crawl_name
- our name of the crawl, contains year and month (e.g., 'regular-2024-12' for regular crawls, in Dec 2024)policy_url_id
- ID of the URL this policy haspolicy_keyword_score
- score (higher is better) according to the crawler's keywords list that given document is a policypolicy_ml_probability
- probability assigned by the BERT model that given document is a policypolicy_consideration_basis
- on which basis we decided that this url is policy. The following three options are executed by the crawler in this order:
policy_url
- full URL to the policypolicy_content_hash
- used as identifier - if the document remained the same between crawls, it won't create a new entrypolicy_content
- contains the text of policies and terms extracted to Markdown using Mozilla's readability
librarypolicy_lang
- Language detected by fasttext of the contentAnalogous to policy data, just substitute policy
to terms
