Overview

EqualWeb is an AI-driven web accessibility solution that helps websites comply with WCAG, ADA, and Section 508 standards. The script loads an accessibility overlay widget providing options for visual, motor, and cognitive accessibility adjustments.

What This Script Does

  • Loads an accessibility toolbar/widget overlay on all pages
  • Provides UI controls for font sizing, contrast adjustment, cursor changes, and screen reader compatibility
  • Applies DOM modifications to improve accessibility based on user preferences
  • May set cookies or local storage entries to persist user accessibility preferences across sessions
  • Generates accessibility compliance reports and statements

Consent & Compliance

  • Consent Category: Essential
  • Applicable Regulations: ADA, Section 508, EN 301 549, GDPR (limited data processing)
  • Opt-in Required: No — accessibility tools are essential for ensuring equal access to website content and are required by disability access laws

Should You Block This Without Consent?

No. EqualWeb provides essential accessibility functionality required by disability access regulations (ADA, Section 508). Blocking this script could make your site inaccessible to users with disabilities, creating both usability and legal risks.

Is EqualWeb GDPR compliant?

EqualWeb typically loads functional trackers, which are not strictly necessary for your site to work. Under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, non-essential cookies and trackers must stay blocked until a visitor gives clear opt-in consent. So EqualWeb can be fully GDPR compliant, but only if your site holds its scripts until consent is granted and lets visitors decline just as easily. Compliance depends on how your site loads EqualWeb, not on EqualWeb itself.
