Supplementary notes

* Sample sizes are approximately 1,000 for each country except Belgium, Hungary, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Sweden and Turkey with sample sizes of approximately 500.

** Due to lower levels of internet penetration in Turkey and Russia, the source believes that the results "should not be considered to be fully nationally representative, but instead to represent a more affluent, connected population, representing an important and emerging middle class."
