Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The doubleclick.net JavaScript comes from an embedded YouTube video on the ripe.net homepage. We have now replaced this with a locally-hosted version. This was an oversight on our part, as we hadn't properly considered that these videos would allow third-party JavaScript to be injected. We will conduct an audit of the website to find the best approach for hosting videos. We use Google Tag Manager to improve the browsing experience on ripe.net. We have a lot of content, and with people using our website for a range of different purposes, it helps us to check that our website layout is fit for purpose. We are not using this to monitor or track individual users, it is purely to give us insight into how users interact with the website. Kind Regards, Mirjam Kühne Senior Community Builder RIPE NCC
