Context

The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) is the EU’s independent supervisory authority, overseeing compliance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 by the Union’s institutions and bodies. The EDPS appoints EDPB members, rules on complaints against EU institutions, and advises the Commission and Parliament on data protection matters. HAR: 58 requests, 2 domains.

What the HAR shows

Two domains — www.edps.europa.eu and webtools.europa.eu. The same pattern as Europol and the European Parliament: only proprietary infrastructure plus the centralized webtools.europa.eu. Not a single external request, not a single Set-Cookie response, not a single consent request.

The regulator of regulators

The EDPS is the body that oversees how other EU institutions process data. Its public website serves both as a communication tool and as a demonstration of the standard. A zero external-request profile is the only possible outcome for a body with this mission.

webtools.europa.eu

As with Europol, the only external dependency is webtools.europa.eu, the European Commission’s centralized infrastructure. 25 requests per session: JavaScript utilities, CSS themes, icons. All within europa.eu.

The pattern among EU institutions

The fourth EU institution in the series with a zero profile: the European Parliament, eulisa.europa.eu, edpb.europa.eu, Europol — and now the EDPS. The shared architecture: only europa.eu domains, webtools.europa.eu for common components, zero external trackers.

Conclusion

The data protection supervisory authority upholds the very standard it oversees. Zero external trackers, zero cookies, only europa.eu infrastructure.
