accessiBe

What is acsbapp?

acsbapp.com (with acsbap.com) is the domain that serves accessWidget, accessiBe's accessibility widget. If acsbapp shows up in a network log or a cookie scan, the site has installed accessiBe. The script adds a floating accessibility button and stores the settings a visitor chooses.

Overview

accessiBe is an AI-powered web accessibility overlay. Website owners embed it to give visitors an accessibility panel covering contrast, font size, keyboard navigation and screen reader adjustments. An overlay is an add-on to a site, not a fix for its code: in April 2025 the US Federal Trade Commission approved a final order requiring accessiBe to pay $1 million and barring it from claiming, without evidence, that its tool can make any website conform to WCAG.

What This Script Does

The accessiBe script injects a floating accessibility widget onto the page. When activated by a visitor, it provides controls to modify contrast, text spacing, cursor size, animations, and other display properties. The AI engine scans page elements and applies ARIA attributes and structural changes for screen reader compatibility. The script sets a cookie to remember the visitor's accessibility preferences across pages and sessions.

Consent & Compliance

Consent category: Essential

ConsentStack classifies accessiBe as essential, so the consent banner does not block it. That is a product decision, not a legal ruling: blocking an accessibility widget until consent would remove it for the visitors who rely on it, including everyone who clicks Reject. accessiBe processes widget data as the site's processor under a data processing agreement, and its preference cookie only remembers the settings a visitor chose. Whether that cookie falls within the strictly necessary exemption of the ePrivacy rules is a judgment for your own legal review, and it belongs in your cookie policy either way.

Should You Block This Without Consent?

Not by default. ConsentStack loads accessiBe without waiting for consent so the widget is there for every visitor. If your legal review requires consent first, you can move it to the functional category for your site.
