The Scheduled Public Authority holds this information, however the States of Jersey web proxy can only extract the information for the last 90 days and cannot break the data down by department.

The following constitute the most accessed websites on the internet from the States of Jersey domain.

The Scheduled Public Authority can confirm that they hold this information, however this information is considered exempt under Article 25 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011.

As stipulated in our Acceptable Use Policy (paragraph 13.3) the States of Jersey allows the use of IS systems for limited personal use, therefore users have an expectation of privacy. As there is only one incumbent per role, by identifying the websites searched by each Minister and Assistant Minister there is a risk of personal data being disclosed.
