eulisa.europa.eu
The agency managing Schengen and EURODAC IT systems — Matomo on a proprietary subdomain, zero advertising trackers. The one issue: a YouTube nocookie embed transmits the IP address to Google on page load, before any user interaction.

Indicators of GDPR non-compliance
- Regulation 2018/1725 Art. 5YouTube nocookie (+2666 ms) loads with no consent when a video is present on the page. youtube-nocookie.com does not set cookies without interaction, but the visitor's IP address is transmitted to Google when the embed loads. Google.com loads JS (+5372 ms) in the context of the YouTube player.
Context
eu-LISA is the EU agency managing large-scale IT systems in the area of internal security: the Schengen Information System (SIS II), the Visa Information System (VIS), and EURODAC (the fingerprint database). It processes some of the most sensitive biometric data belonging to EU citizens. Governed by Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. HAR: 101 requests, 6 domains.
Matomo — correct analytics
eu-LISA uses Matomo on a proprietary subdomain (www.eulisa.europa.eu/stats/matomo.php) — 3 requests per session. Analytics data stays on eu-LISA’s servers, with nothing transmitted to third parties. The same choice as EBA’s. The CSP explicitly permits only https://www.eulisa.europa.eu/stats/ for connect-src.
YouTube nocookie — one issue
The homepage features an embedded YouTube video (youtube-nocookie.com/embed/iY03f0ltYIc). The youtube-nocookie.com domain does not set cookies without a play click — hence the name. But the visitor’s IP address is still transmitted to Google when the embed loads, and Google additionally loads supporting JS (+5372 ms) and the Roboto font via YouTube’s infrastructure.
eu-LISA’s CSP explicitly permits frame-src 'self' https://www.youtube-nocookie.com — a deliberate allowance. The fix: lazy-load the embed (load on click), or replace it with self-hosted video.
The agency managing SIS and EURODAC
The public website of an agency that manages the biometric data of millions of people: Matomo on a proprietary subdomain, zero advertising trackers, a CSP in place. The one point of data transfer to American infrastructure is the YouTube embed, and it is documented in the CSP.
Conclusion
eu-LISA comes close to the ideal for an agency of its profile: Matomo instead of Google Analytics, a strict CSP, zero advertising trackers. YouTube nocookie with no lazy loading is the one issue — technically fixable within an hour’s work.
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.
