A business website comes with obligations that cannot be postponed indefinitely: imprint and privacy policy, consent for cookies and tracking, data processing agreements with service providers, mandatory information in the ordering process and — since the German Accessibility Strengthening Act — requirements for usability by people with disabilities. This category puts those topics into practical order: what is actually prescribed, what is a matter of interpretation, and which steps can be implemented with reasonable effort. We describe how to test, which error patterns are typical and who inside the company is responsible. The articles do not replace individual legal advice, but they provide a solid basis for conversations with lawyers, data protection officers and service providers. We also describe which reviews are due after every relaunch and every new service so obligations do not arise unnoticed.
