The website of a counterintelligence service, visited by informants, journalists, and people with sensitive data. Three American trackers are wired into the code and fire on every page navigation — but all are blocked by the CSP. No data got out. The only shield is a single line of security policy.

Context
Kaitsepolitseiamet (KaPo) is Estonia’s counterintelligence service: countering terrorism, protecting the constitutional order, countering foreign intelligence services. Informants, investigative journalists, and people with sensitive data about corruption and security threats come here. HAR from May 6, 2026: 167 requests, 5 domains.
What is done correctly — almost everything
All three external trackers are blocked by the CSP, all with status 0. There is no Google Fonts, no YouTube, no DoubleClick, no browser-update.org, no advertising networks. Zero Set-Cookie, zero consent requests — and none are needed, because there is nothing to ask about. In terms of actual data transfer, this is one of the cleanest results in the series: no data left anywhere.
What is wired into the code — and why it matters
All three trackers are blocked, but all three are wired into the site’s code — this is a fundamental distinction. The GTM container GTM-5XSF9BX, eum.instana.io (IBM Instana, performance monitoring from IBM, USA), and static.cloudflareinsights.com — three American services in the code of a counterintelligence agency’s site. The decision to integrate them was made. The CSP made a different decision — to block them. The requests fire in sync, eight times per session: +220 ms, +221 ms, +235 ms.
A contradiction with the policy
KaPo’s policy is written in detail and competently: it contains special grounds for restricting data subjects’ rights (julgeolekuasutuste seadus §21-1), which is justified for an intelligence service. But section 2.5 states that personal data is not disclosed or transferred to third parties, except where required by law. Meanwhile, GTM, IBM Instana, and Cloudflare Insights are wired into the code. If the CSP stopped working, data would flow to Google, IBM, and Cloudflare automatically on every visit — with no legal basis. The policy declares an absence of transfer; the code contains three tools for doing exactly that.
Conclusion
This is not a violation in the classic sense — no data got out. But it is a documented architectural vulnerability. The CSP is the only line of defense: if a developer updates the site and accidentally changes the security policy, all three trackers would start working instantly, because they are already wired in and waiting. On a commercial site, this is technical debt. On a counterintelligence agency’s site, it’s a systemic risk. Two opposing decisions coexist in the same code: “integrate” and “block.” For now, the second one wins. This time — it held. But trust is not architecture.

To: Estonian Data Protection Inspectorate (AKI) From: [Your name], [contact email] 1. Subject of the complaint I am filing a complaint regarding the processing of my personal data by the website kapo.ee. 2. Circumstances I visited the website kapo.ee and found indications that the processing of my personal data does not comply with the GDPR. The technical analysis published on gdpru.eu on 6 May 2026 (open methodology, reproducible measurements) documents the following indications: 1) Google Tag Manager, IBM Instana, and Cloudflare Insights are not declared as potential data recipients, despite being wired into the site's code. 2) The integrity and confidentiality principle: the code contains tools for transmitting data to three American corporations, contradicting the declared policy. Full technical documentation is published at: https://gdpru.eu/en/audits/ee-kapo-ee/ 3. Provisions violated GDPR Art. 13(1)(e); GDPR Art. 5(1)(f) 4. Request I request that you investigate the violations described and apply the measures provided for in Article 58(2) GDPR. 5.
