Context
www.rvo.nl is the website of the Dutch Enterprise Agency (Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland): subsidies, grants, support for business, innovation, and foreign trade. The data controller is RVO, a government executive agency. The site is informational and service-oriented.
Scan: 39 requests to 4 domains, homepage, captured in a clean Edge browser without a VPN or ad blocker. The technical stack is restrained.
Who receives the data
There are no third-party commercial recipients.
The agency runs its web statistics on its own subdomain, on the Piwik PRO platform. Additionally, a functional help chatbot runs. The scan shows no Google Analytics, no advertising networks, no social media pixels, and no session recording.
Was there a consent banner
A full banner for the statistics is not required here: it is deployed on the agency’s own subdomain, and not a single cookie was set during the session. This is consistent with an anonymized mode exempt from consent. The chatbot is a functional help tool.
What fires before consent
Only in-house statistics and a functional chatbot. Before any interaction, the container for the agency’s own web statistics on its own subdomain and the help-chatbot launcher load. The scan contains no Google analytics, no advertising domains, no social plugins, and no session recording.
Conclusion
Rvo.nl is a restrained configuration for a government executive agency. Web statistics run on the agency’s own subdomain and without cookies, and aside from that, only a functional help chatbot runs. There is no third-party advertising, no Google analytics, no social media pixels, and no session recording whatsoever. The key takeaway for the reader: a government agency can manage with its own statistics on its own infrastructure, and here that is achieved without a single third-party commercial tracker and without a single cookie. No violations were recorded.
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.
