Ad Tech Surveillance on the Public Sector Web

EU citizens being tracked on sensitive government sites
Even on government sites one is not safe from tracking by the advertising industry. According to a report by the Danish company Cookiebot with European Digital Rights (EDRi), 89 percent of all government sites in EU member states use cookies and other advertising trackers. Governments thus help the advertising industry to collect sensitive data about their citizens. According to the report, the website of the authorities with the most tracking cookies in Europe is a website of the Hamburg city government on parental leave and maternity protection.
