ksh.hu

Context

ksh.hu is the website of the Hungarian Central Statistical Office (Központi Statisztikai Hivatal, KSH), the independent national authority responsible for the country’s official statistics. The data controller is KSH. The site is served with HSTS (includeSubDomains). Capture: 39 requests, 1 domain, recorded in a clean browser.

Direct Recipients of Data

None. All 39 calls go to the first-party domain ksh.hu; there are no external recipients in the capture.

Declared versus Actual

The file supplied together with the capture turned out to be an accessibility statement (akadálymentesítési nyilatkozat), not a privacy policy; accordingly, the web version of KSH’s Adatvédelmi tájékoztató from the authority’s site was used for this review. It is formulated in a restrained manner: it describes indirect technical data automatically generated upon connection (the device used, browser, IP address, pages visited) and direct data that the visitor provides when contacting the authority. KSH is named as the data controller. The web version of the policy mentions no analytics, cookies, font providers, or third-party services.

The capture confirms this and shows a carefully implemented site. All 39 calls go to the first-party domain. Notably, the Roboto and Roboto Condensed fonts are hosted locally (/css/fonts/roboto/…) rather than pulled from Google Fonts, and the Highcharts charting library, used for the charts on the home page, is likewise served from the first-party domain. There is not a single external call — no Google, no analytics or advertising services, no Matomo. Not a single cookie is set across the entire session (Set-Cookie is zero).

Accordingly, no discrepancy between “declared” and “actual” arises: the site behaves exactly as it declares and, from a privacy standpoint, is implemented in an exemplary manner — self-sufficient, without a single third-party contact.

Timing Relative to Consent

There are no external calls in the capture, so the question of “before or after consent” does not arise. There are no trackers on the site requiring consent; no cookies are set.

What Cannot Be Asserted from This Capture

The capture covers the ksh.hu home page. Individual KSH applications and databases (for example, interactive statistical dashboards, census sections) are separate systems not covered by this capture and may behave differently; no conclusion about them can be drawn from a single home page. Server-side processing (including the technical logs mentioned in the policy) is not visible in a browser-based capture. KSH’s general data protection policy primarily concerns the confidentiality of statistical respondents’ data — a subject distinct from web tracking.

Conclusion

The website of the Hungarian Central Statistical Office is implemented in an exemplary manner from a privacy standpoint: all resources are served from the first-party domain, fonts and the charting library are hosted locally, Google Fonts and third-party CDNs are not used, there is no analytics or trackers, and no cookies are set. The site’s behavior fully matches its policy. There are no external recipients of data, and no IP address is transferred to any third-party service. No violations have been recorded in the capture.
