seb.ee

Website of SEB bank in Estonia

The SEB website in Estonia — five pages, 119 requests, and all 119 go to the bank's own domains. A banner with three equally weighted buttons, 'Nõustun', 'Personaliseerin', 'Keeldun', and not a single request to Google, Meta, or any other third-party service — the bank serves even its fonts and chat itself. The cookie policy and the data protection terms are detailed. No violations recorded.

Context

seb.ee is the website of SEB bank in Estonia. The measurement is a single capture of five pages: the homepage in Estonian, then the Russian version — the homepage, private clients, business clients, and contacts. In total, 119 requests.

Processing is described by the cookie banner, the cookie policy, and SEB’s personal data protection terms.

Who receives data directly

No one but the bank itself. All requests go to www.seb.ee and to SEB group’s own storage.

Declared versus actual

There is nothing to compare here except the level of care. The banner offers three equally weighted buttons: accept, customise, and refuse. The cookie policy describes necessary, statistics, and marketing cookies and explains which of them can be refused.

And the network picture is as clean as it gets: across five pages, not a single request leaves the bank’s domains. No Google Analytics, no Tag Manager, no pixels, no external fonts. The bank serves even its chat widget from its own domain. The Content-Security-Policy header permits, among other things, the Salesforce personalisation service (Evergage) and Google Tag Assistant, but neither loaded in the capture.

Proven: refusal is available on the first layer. The “Keeldun” button in the screenshot.

Proven: there are no third-party requests. 118 requests to www.seb.ee and one to the group’s own storage.

Not established: the decision in the banner and behaviour after consent. The decision is not reflected in network requests. Whether statistics and marketing services load after “Nõustun” was not tested.

Boundaries of this observation

The measurement covers the site’s public pages. Internet banking was not examined. The observation records browser behavior, not server-side processing. The file has been published cleaned: Cookie headers were removed.

Legal assessment falls to the competent authority — the Andmekaitse Inspektsioon.

Conclusion

SEB shows care taken to its limit: equally weighted refusal on the first screen and not a single request to third-party services before the visitor decides — the bank serves everything itself, including fonts and chat. No violations recorded.

Evidence

How to verify: download the file and compute its checksum — sha256sum file.har (Linux, macOS) or certutil -hashfile file.har SHA256 (Windows); it must match the one shown. The conclusions apply to the scope of this measurement — see the limitations of the method.
