Digital compliance
GDPR, cookies and EU digital rules — explained and implemented.
We help businesses understand which European rules affect their website and put them into practice: consent, tracking, privacy notices, forms and legal pages.
How we help
Practical support, from first question to working website.
General information and hands-on implementation — clearly separated from formal legal advice.
Consultation
A clear explanation of which rules are likely to matter for your website, in plain language and in your language.
Cookie consent setup
A consent banner with equal Accept and Reject options and real control over each category.
Tracking audit
We find analytics, pixels, embedded media and external resources that load before consent.
Privacy-friendly forms
Contact and booking forms that collect only what is needed, with the right notices.
Privacy & legal pages
Structured, complete privacy notice and legal-notice pages based on the information you provide.
Accessibility review
A practical check against WCAG 2.2 and the European Accessibility Act, where it applies.
