The European Defence Agency — 4 domains. A near-clean result: Google Fonts is the only external dependency transmitting data to the USA. The CSP mentions Typeform and Issuu — potential points of expansion on other pages.

Context
The European Defence Agency (EDA) is the EU’s agency for developing defense capabilities, military technology, and European cooperation in the defense sector. It coordinates PESCO (Permanent Structured Cooperation) programs. Governed by Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. HAR: 91 requests, 4 domains.
What the HAR shows
Four domains: eda.europa.eu, www.eda.europa.eu (a subdomain hosting publication images), fonts.googleapis.com, and fonts.gstatic.com. Zero trackers, zero Set-Cookie. Google Fonts is the only external dependency transmitting data outside europa.eu.
An interesting detail: one of the requests loads an image from a document on critical maritime PESCO infrastructure (pesco-critical-seabed-infrastructure) — the topic of the publication is visible directly in the HAR log.
CSP — potential points of expansion
The Content-Security-Policy permits frame-src for several external services: https://e.issuu.com/ (an American publishing platform) and https://form.typefo... (Typeform — an American forms platform). No requests to either are recorded in this session, but they may activate on other pages of the site. For an EU defense agency, these are points worth attention.
Cloudflare as a WAF
As with the Council of the EU — server: cloudflare. Network traffic passes through Cloudflare’s American infrastructure. This isn’t visible as an external request at the HAR level, but at the network level, visitor data passes through the USA.
Google Fonts — one fix needed
Self-hosting Source Sans 3 would eliminate the only recorded data transfer to the USA. The font is available on Google Fonts under the SIL OFL license — it can be downloaded and hosted on eda.europa.eu. One line of CSS.
Conclusion
The European Defence Agency is a near-ideal result. One external dependency at the HAR level: Google Fonts. Self-hosting the font would move the site into the green zone. The CSP points to potential external services on other pages — Issuu and Typeform — which are worth checking separately.
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.
