What's the actual name of <% %> tags?

Possibly a redundant and useless question, but my colleagues and I refer to <% %> as server tags, but is there an actual name for them?

one i've seen used is calling them Alcohol tags.

Edited based on answers

We're referring to them in ASP.NET, but I would've thought they'd use the same name across all languages if they did the same job?
