GDPR Compliance & Web Accessibility (RGAA)

GDPR & Accessibility: protect your legal exposure, expand your market

If your website doesn't comply with data regulations or excludes part of the population, your business is exposed to financial penalties. We turn these legal constraints into competitive advantages by integrating them from the very first line of code.

GDPR: Protecting your data and your reputation

Personal data management has become a major trust factor for users. A poorly secured form, tracking cookies installed without consent, or incomplete legal notices expose your business to severe fines from data protection authorities and an immediate loss of credibility.

Thanks to our custom and eco-responsible approach, we apply data minimization: we collect only what is strictly necessary to operate your business. No more dozens of invisible trackers from third-party plugins. Your forms are secure and your databases are protected.

Consent management (without destroying your performance)

Standard cookie banners are often heavy. They multiply external requests, slow down your page loading, and degrade the user experience. To combine strict compliance and high performance, we have developed our own consent management tool.

Natively integrated into our source code, this proprietary manager is ultra-lightweight. It intelligently handles consent modes (Consent Mode) and actually blocks analytics scripts until the user explicitly grants consent. You comply with the law without depending on an external provider or slowing down your site.

Solid legal support

Technique alone isn't enough. To guarantee absolute compliance of your documents (Terms of Sale, Terms of Use, Privacy Policy), Codyweb works in partnership with legal experts (such as the CapeOpportunity firm).

We align the reality of our source code with the strict requirements of business law. You no longer juggle between your web agency and your lawyer: we handle everything.

EAA Directive: We anticipate your legal obligations

Today, 1 in 5 people lives with a disability (visual, motor, cognitive). If your site is not accessible, you voluntarily close the door to 20% of your potential market.

Semantic HTML structure: Clean, logical code, essential for screen readers used by visually impaired people (and which strongly boosts your visibility on Google).

Contrasts and readability: A UX/UI design built to reduce visual and cognitive fatigue.

Keyboard navigation: Smooth user journeys usable without a mouse for people with limited mobility.

The urgency of the EAA (European Accessibility Act)

For a long time, digital accessibility was only mandatory for the public sector or very large companies. That era is over.

With the European EAA directive coming into force, a vast majority of private companies (e-commerce, banking, ticketing, etc.) now have a legal obligation to make their services accessible, under penalty of heavy financial sanctions.

Anticipating this standard means turning an imminent regulatory constraint into a real competitive advantage.

The illusion of accessibility plugins (and our method)

Beware of "miracle solutions". Many standard platforms offer to install a simple plugin (overlay) to make a site accessible in one click. It's a technical illusion and a legal risk.

Automated testing tools detect only about 30% of accessibility errors. The remaining 70% require true human expertise. At Codyweb, our approach is rigorous: we test our interfaces entirely with the keyboard and validate our code with screen readers (NVDA, VoiceOver). We deliver a tool that is technically ready to validate an official accessibility statement.

FAQ on website compliance

Limit risks, maximize audience

Web standards can seem complex. Here are clear answers to understand your obligations and the benefits of a compliant website.

My current site is neither GDPR-compliant nor accessible. Can you fix it?

Making an old standard site accessible after the fact is often technically impossible or financially excessive. Accessibility and data security are decided in the very architecture of the code. That's why we recommend a custom rebuild: it allows these standards to be natively integrated, for a far more controlled cost and a lasting result.
Is the well-known "cookie banner" still mandatory?

No, it can be legally avoided. For audience measurement, we natively integrate Wysistat: a 100% French analytics solution, strictly GDPR-compliant and officially exempt from consent collection by the French data authority (CNIL).

The result? You get reliable visit statistics from the very first second, without imposing a blocking banner on your visitors. Your site is fully compliant, and your users' navigation stays seamless.
Does accessibility actually help my SEO?

Completely. Google's bots that analyze your site are, by definition, "blind". They read your code exactly the way a screen reader would for a visually impaired person. A site that's semantically perfect for accessibility is therefore naturally optimized to climb to the top of search results.
