nuffic.nl
Nuffic.nl is the website of the Dutch organization for internationalization in education, which handles diploma recognition, exchanges, and study abroad. Homepage scan: 35 requests, 4 domains. The configuration is exemplary. The only external service is the organization's own web statistics, built on the Piwik PRO platform and deployed under its own account, with not a single cookie set during the session. The policy explicitly describes the statistics as encrypted and anonymized, collecting no personal data. A session-recording tool, also mentioned in the policy, did not fire in this scan. There is no Google Analytics, no Facebook, no advertising, and no third-party commercial trackers. No violations were recorded.

Context
www.nuffic.nl is the website of the Dutch organization for internationalization in education (Nuffic): recognition of foreign diplomas, exchange programs, support for studying abroad, and international cooperation in education. The data controller is Nuffic. The site is informational.
Scan: 35 requests to 4 domains, homepage, captured in a clean Edge browser without a VPN or ad blocker. The technical stack is minimal.
Who receives the data
There are no third-party commercial recipients.
The only external service is the organization’s own web statistics, built on the Piwik PRO platform, under its own account. The policy explicitly describes it as encrypted and anonymized, collecting no personal data. The scan contains no Google Analytics, no advertising networks, and no social media pixels.
Was there a consent banner
A full banner for the statistics is not required here: the policy describes it as anonymized and encrypted, without collecting personal data, and not a single cookie was set during the session. This is consistent with a mode exempt from consent.
It’s worth separately noting: the policy also mentions a session-recording tool, but it did not fire in this scan — only anonymized statistics loaded on the page.
What fires before consent
Only anonymized in-house statistics. Before any interaction, the organization’s web statistics fire on its own account, without cookies and without a visitor identifier. The scan contains no session recording, no Google analytics, no advertising domains, and no social plugins.
Conclusion
Nuffic.nl is a restrained configuration for an education organization. Web statistics run on the platform’s own account and are described in the policy as anonymized and encrypted, without collecting personal data, and no cookies are set. The session-recording tool mentioned in the policy did not load on this page. There is no third-party advertising, no Google analytics, and no social media pixels whatsoever. The key takeaway for the reader: the organization can manage with its own anonymized statistics, and in this scan the page runs without a single third-party commercial tracker and without a single cookie. No violations were recorded.
