juridat.be

Context

juridat.be is the entry hub page of Belgium’s judicial information system, belonging to SPF Justice (the Federal Public Service for Justice). Controller: SPF Justice. The privacy policy (Déclaration de confidentialité, roughly 7,400 characters) describes the justice service’s data processing. The page itself is described in the policy as a “Simple Doormat” — a simple hub page. Measurement: 7 requests, 2 domains, captured on a clean browser.

Declared versus actual

SPF Justice’s policy describes the use of cookies and explicitly names the analytics tool: analytics cookies for site statistics run on Matomo, with the collected data processed anonymously to count users and improve the service.

The measurement shows an extremely simple page. All substantive resources — HTML, logos, favicon — load from the proprietary domain juridat.be, hosted on the state Belnet network. The only external contact is loading the Tailwind CSS framework from cdn.tailwindcss.com. This is a static styling resource, not a tracking mechanism: it sets no cookie and transmits no behavioral data, though the load itself, like any external request, discloses the visitor’s IP address to the CDN (Cloudflare infrastructure). The Matomo tool declared in the policy does not fire on this page — no requests to it appear in the measurement. No cookies are set (zero Set-Cookie).

No substantive “declared versus actual” discrepancy therefore arises on this page: the declared analytics tool is not activated here, and there are no third-party trackers. The one observation is the external CDN for the styling framework, not named in the policy; hosting Tailwind locally would eliminate even this single external contact.

Timing relative to consent

The external Tailwind resource loads at +370 ms. No trackers requiring consent are present on the page; no cookies are set. For a simple hub page with no analytics or advertising, this is the expected behavior.

What cannot be claimed from the measurement

The measurement covers only the juridat.be entry page. The Matomo tool declared in the policy likely operates on the substantive sections of the judicial system, which this measurement does not cover; it cannot be assessed from a single hub page. Server-side processing is not visible in a browser-based measurement.

Conclusion

The entry page of Belgium’s judicial database is implemented in an extremely simple and clean way: content and images served from the proprietary domain on the state network, with the only external resource being the Tailwind CSS framework from an external CDN, which does not function as a tracking mechanism. There are no trackers, analytics, or cookies on the page; the Matomo tool declared in the policy is not activated here. No violations recorded in this measurement. For completeness, the styling framework could be hosted locally to remove even this single external contact.
