agcom.it

The website of Italy's communications regulator (AGCOM). 60 requests, 2 domains. The declared analytics (Web Analytics Italia) is not activated at all in this session. The only catch is the undeclared AddToAny widget.

Context

www.agcom.it is the official website of the Autorità per le Garanzie nelle Comunicazioni (AGCOM), Italy’s regulator for communications and media. Drupal 10, the English version of the page. HAR: 60 requests, 2 domains.

Analytics — declared, but not active

The policy describes in detail (16,084 characters) Web Analytics Italia/Matomo as the sole third-party service for analytics cookies, specifying the place of processing (on-premise, Italy) and a link to opt out. In this particular session no requests to Matomo are recorded at all — that is, in practice there is no tracking in this slice, which does not contradict the policy but rather gives no occasion to test it.

AddToAny — the only catch

The AddToAny social-sharing widget loads automatically, at the same moment as the cookie-banner script, and is not mentioned in the document, which names «Web Analytics Italia» as the sole third party. Not a single cookie from AddToAny is recorded in this session — the violation is formal in nature (similar to the esploradati.istat.it/jsdelivr precedent).

Conclusion

www.agcom.it is a practically clean result with one formal inaccuracy: the AddToAny widget is not among the third parties listed in the policy. The main declared tracker (Web Analytics Italia) did not manifest itself at all in this session.

Evidence

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.
