Context

The European External Action Service (EEAS) is the European Union’s diplomatic service, effectively serving as the EU’s foreign ministry. It coordinates foreign policy and manages EU delegations around the world. Governed by Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. HAR: 71 requests, 2 domains.

What the HAR shows

Two domains — www.eeas.europa.eu and webtools.europa.eu. Zero external trackers, zero Set-Cookie responses. The pattern is identical to Europol and the EDPS.

webtools.europa.eu — an expanded set

EEAS uses a broader set of webtools components than other institutions in the series. Beyond the standard EU theme and cookie block (webtools.cck.js), it also loads webtools.etrans — the European Commission’s machine-translation tool, allowing pages to be translated into any EU language directly in the browser. rest/service-inventory — a webtools service inventory — also loads. All components stay within europa.eu.

Sensitivity context

EEAS coordinates the EU’s diplomatic activity worldwide, including work in countries with restricted internet freedom. The absence of any external trackers — particularly trackers from American tech companies — carries not just legal but practical significance here: visitors to the site from sensitive regions should not be identifiable via Google or Meta.

Conclusion

The EU’s diplomatic service meets the europa.eu standard: zero external trackers, zero cookies, only European infrastructure. The seventh consecutive EU institution with a zero or minimal external-request profile.
