bka.de

Germany's Federal Criminal Police Office — the central body of the criminal police. 109 requests, 1 domain. BundesSans and BundesSerif served locally. Matomo via an opt-in checkbox. matomo.js loads locally (+102 ms), but no tracking requests appear in the HAR — consent has not been given. Wanted-person notices (Fahndungen) — all data local.

Context

BKA (Bundeskriminalamt) is Germany’s federal criminal police office, the central body of the criminal police. It coordinates investigations into international crime, terrorism, and cybercrime. It publishes a Fahndungsportfolio — wanted-person notices with photographs of individuals being sought. Sensitivity is high: site visitors may be victims, witnesses, or persons otherwise interacting with the criminal justice system. HAR: 109 requests, 1 domain.

Matomo as a CMS addon — no external requests

matomo.js loads locally from www.bka.de/SiteGlobals/Frontend/JavaScript/addons/matomo.js at +102 ms — as a built-in part of the CMS, not an external resource. This matters: a request to a file on the proprietary domain does not mean tracking has been activated. There is no tracking request to a Matomo server (matomo.php) in the HAR — the user has not given consent, and the analytics tool is not activated.

The policy describes Matomo with opt-in: “Diese Daten verarbeitet das BKA nur, wenn Sie der Verarbeitung zustimmen bzw. die Webanalyse aktivieren. Es wird Ihnen hierfür beim erstmaligen Aufruf der Seite ein entsprechendes Auswahlfenster angezeigt.” CookieBannerExtended.html loads at +427 ms with options for “Webanalyse aktivieren” / “Webanalyse deaktivieren.”

Fahndungen — wanted-person notices, local

BKA’s homepage includes active wanted-person notices: photographs related to the “Doppelmord Bistro Raun” case, as well as a “SpurlosVerschwunden” (missing persons) section. All images — /SharedDocs/Bilder/DE/IhreSicherheit/Fahndungen/ — are hosted locally. There are no external services (Facebook, Twitter) for distributing the wanted-person notices — which would be problematic from the standpoint of transmitting data about visitors seeking information on criminal cases.

addon_bitv.css and accessibility

The list of CSS files includes addon_bitv.css — styles for BITV 2.0 (Barrierefreie-Informationstechnik-Verordnung, Germany’s web accessibility standard). Accessibility is implemented through proprietary styles, with no external SDKs.

Conclusion

bka.de is the seventh zero result in the German series. The federal criminal police office has built an architecture consistent with the sensitivity of its content: one domain, local Matomo as a CMS addon, correct opt-in, wanted-person notices with no external dependencies. The pattern among Germany’s federal security bodies is consistently reproduced: Bundespolizei, BAMF, BBK, BMJV, BND, BSI, BKA — all seven with zero external domains.
