Is Your Website Legally Compliant?
Here’s What You Need to Know About Website Compliance (and How We Can Help)
Let’s face it: nobody gets excited about legal fine print. But if you own or manage a website, making sure it’s legally compliant is more important than ever. From privacy policies and cookie banners to accessibility tools and tracking audits, there are so many rules and regulations for a website to follow. The good news? It doesn’t have to be complicated (especially when you have a team like Red Technologies in your corner). Today, we’re talking about what website compliance really means, what’s required, and how we make it all manageable so you don’t have to worry about it.
What Is Website Compliance?
Website compliance basically means your website follows the rules that protect your users and your business. These rules include things like:
- Privacy laws (like GDPR and CCPA)
- Cookie usage disclosures
- Terms and Conditions
- ADA and WCAG accessibility standards
These aren’t just “nice-to-haves” – they’re essential for protecting user data, avoiding legal trouble, and building trust with your audience.
Compliance Checklist: What Should You Be Concerned With?
✔️ Privacy Policy & Terms and Conditions
If your site collects any kind of user info (even something as simple as a contact form or newsletter signup), you’re legally required to post a Privacy Policy. And while you’re at it, it’s smart to include Terms and Conditions to cover how your site works and what’s expected from your users.
We help generate and update these policies for you, so your site always stays in line with the latest laws, without any extra work from you.
✔️ Cookie Banners (Yep, You Need One)
Ever land on a website and see a pop-up asking if you accept cookies? That’s not just there for looks, it’s required by privacy laws in many countries. If your website uses any kind of tracking (think Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel), you’re required to show a cookie consent banner.
We’ll add a clear, branded banner to your site that lets visitors know what data is being collected, and give them the power to say yes or no. We’ll also set it up so no tracking scripts run until the user gives consent.
✔️ Consent Preferences & Script Management
Some people change their minds as often as they change their clothes, and your website needs to allow for that. We can set up an easy-to-use preferences center, so visitors can update or withdraw their cookie and data choices anytime. We also clean up and manage your tracking scripts behind the scenes to make sure only the right ones are running (and that they’re doing what they’re supposed to).
✔️ Website Accessibility (ADA/WCAG)
Accessibility is more than a checkbox, it’s about making your site usable for everyone, including people with disabilities. That includes features like keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and color contrast adjustments.
We use the tools to make your site fully compliant with ADA and WCAG standards. These tools work quietly in the background to help every visitor navigate your site easily.
✔️ Tracking Script Audit (You’d Be Surprised What’s Running!)
Most websites have way more trackers running than their owners realize. Our Red Techs will do a deep-dive audit of your site to find out which third-party scripts are active, remove any that aren’t necessary, and make sure the ones that stay are compliant. This isn’t just good for privacy—it’s great for site speed and security too.
