Who receives the data

There are no third-party commercial recipients.

There are only two external services, both government infrastructure: the government’s centralized web-statistics platform, built on Piwik PRO in anonymized mode, and the government’s own video platform, hosting the institute’s videos. The scan shows no Google Analytics, no advertising networks, no social media pixels, no session recording, and no third-party video services.

A full banner for the statistics is not required here: it is configured anonymously and exempt from consent. Not a single cookie was set during the entire session. The video is hosted on the government video platform, so loading it does not transmit data to a third-party video service.

Only anonymized government statistics and the government video platform. Before any interaction, the government’s centralized, anonymized statistics and video from the government’s own platform fire. The scan contains no Google analytics, no advertising domains, no social plugins, and no session recording.

Conclusion

Zorginstituutnederland.nl is a model of a restrained configuration for a healthcare institute. There are only two external services, and both are government-run: the government’s anonymized web statistics and its own video platform. It’s worth separately noting that even video content stays on government infrastructure rather than on a third-party video service, which would otherwise collect data about viewers. There is no third-party advertising, no Google analytics, no social media pixels, and no session recording whatsoever, and no cookies are set. The key takeaway for the reader: a healthcare institute can manage with its own anonymized statistics and a government video platform alone, and here that is achieved without a single third-party commercial tracker. No violations were recorded.
