I used Firebug and manual code inspection to puzzle out which Dutch govt websites have which (ad)trackers like Google Analytics and Nedstat comScore (who bought Nedstat in Q3/2010). Some reflection is desirable, IMHO, on whether or not to disclose which (Dutch) IP address accessed what (Dutch govt) content to foreign-owned companies who’s government may require/force them to hand it over. Note: I only looked at the homepage of each site.
First the good (tracking-free –> kudos!):
- www.overheid.nl / mijn.overheid.nl –> latter has pretty good (Dutch) privacy statement
- www.digid.nl / applicaties.digid.nl
- www.officielebekendmakingen.nl
Then the bad:
- www.belastingdienst.nl –> Dutch IRS
