The EU's medicines regulator — 71 requests, 2 domains, both europa.eu. Zero external trackers, zero cookies. The CSP permits *.s3.amazonaws.com — a potential point of expansion.
Request timeline
Context
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is the EU’s agency for evaluating and overseeing medicinal products. It regulates market access for medicines within the EU and maintains databases of clinical trials and pharmacovigilance. Governed by Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. HAR: 71 requests, 2 domains.
What the HAR shows
Two domains — www.ema.europa.eu and webtools.europa.eu. The same pattern as Europol and the EDPS: proprietary infrastructure plus the centralized webtools.europa.eu (21 requests — EU theme CSS, flag icons, the global banner, social icons). Zero external trackers, zero Set-Cookie responses.
CSP — one caveat
EMA’s Content-Security-Policy permits loading from *.s3.amazonaws.com, in addition to the standard *.europa.eu. No requests to S3 are recorded in this session’s HAR — but the policy potentially allows them for any Amazon S3 subdomain. This means that under certain scenarios (document uploads, media files), data could pass through American infrastructure. This differs from the ECB, where the CSP is restricted to the proprietary domain only.
webtools.europa.eu — the full set
EMA makes active use of webtools components: the EU theme, the global banner (webtools.globan.js), the shared cookie-consent block (webtools.cck.js), flag icons for all EU member states, social-media icons, and the language-switcher panel (webtools.sbkm). This is standard integration with the European Commission’s centralized infrastructure.
Conclusion
EMA meets the europa.eu standard: zero external trackers, zero cookies, only European infrastructure. The one potential point of expansion is the *.s3.amazonaws.com allowance in the CSP, absent any actual S3 requests in this session.
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.
