Overview
AudioEye is a digital accessibility platform that combines automated remediation with expert auditing. Website owners use it to address WCAG, ADA, and Section 508 accessibility requirements.
What This Script Does
The AudioEye script injects real-time accessibility fixes on the page—adjusting ARIA labels, fixing focus management, improving keyboard navigation, and correcting color contrast issues. It provides a built-in accessibility toolbar that allows users to customize their display preferences (font size, spacing, contrast mode, reading aids). The script communicates with AudioEye's servers to fetch remediation rules and report accessibility metrics.
Consent & Compliance
Consent category: Essential / Functional
AudioEye serves an accessibility function that is legally required in many jurisdictions (ADA, Section 508, European Accessibility Act). The accessibility toolbar stores user preferences via cookies, which are directly requested by the user. Under GDPR, accessibility tools that store user preferences can qualify as strictly necessary. Under ePrivacy, preference cookies initiated by the user are exempt from consent requirements.
Should You Block This Without Consent?
No. AudioEye provides legally mandated accessibility functionality and stores only user-initiated preferences. It can be loaded as an essential script without consent.
