  1. Claude MCP Integration Now in Accessibility Tracker: Manage Projects from Chat
    Sep 1, 2026 · original
    Accessibility Tracker now has its own MCP server. This means you can connect your Tracker account directly to Claude and manage your accessibility projects by chatting with Claude. (P.S. voice dictation makes it even easier to manage your project and check progress.) MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard AI assistants use to connect to outside tools and data. Once Tracker is connected, Claude can see your projects, read your issues, update them, and trigger scans. You never leave the chat. In the next two weeks, we’ll also add ChatGPT. Full WCAG conformance, not just a scan This is what we keep harping on: most accessibility platforms are scan-based. Tracker is for full WCAG conformance (you have to have the manual evaluation as the foundation or else your entire project is completely skewed). Stated another way, the issues Claude works through in Tracker are not limited to w
  2. How to Avoid CIPA Lawsuits and Demand Letters: 10-Step Checklist
    Aug 30, 2026 · original
    To avoid CIPA lawsuits, block every tracking technology on your website until the visitor gives consent. Plaintiffs’ lawyers are looking for websites with trackers that fire before consent is given by the user, so a correctly functioning consent gate is what you need in place. Here’s our 10-Step Checklist that we use when providing privacy compliance service to clients. We also highly recommend clients follow this protocol if they’re using our consent app. CIPA Compliance Checklist Install a consent management platform (CMP) on your website. Connect the CMP to your tag manager so it controls when tags fire. Set every non-essential tag to blocked by default. That includes analytics, ad pixels, session replay, and chat widgets. Test it. Open your site in a fresh private browsing window with the network tab open, don’t click accept, and watch what loads. Any tracker that fires before consen
  3. Your Cookie Banner Has a VPAT/ACR But Is It WCAG 2.1 AA Conformant On Your Website?
    Aug 25, 2026 · original
    Your cookie banner vendor has a VPAT/ACR showing full WCAG 2.1 AA or WCAG 2.2 AA conformance. That is exactly what you want to see when you’re about to buy a cookie banner. If the report is accurate and up to date (and conducted by a reputable accessibility company), the cookie banner itself is in good shape. But a looming potential problem that gets overlooked is will the cookie banner, as it’s implemented on your website, be WCAG conformant? There are two key areas we need to look at: the cookie banner’s accessibility itself the accessibility of your site after implementation Consent banners are one of the most common sources of accessibility issues we find, and they sit on every page of the site, usually as the first thing a visitor encounters. If the banner isn’t accessible, your site isn’t WCAG 2.1 AA (or 2.2 AA) conformant, and no VPAT/ACR from a vendor changes that. Why the ACR Do
  4. Privacy Confusion: Website Consent, Tracking, and Cookie Banners are a Problem
    Aug 25, 2026 · original
    Have you researched CIPA lawsuits lately? People are getting sued because of Google Analytics, Facebook / Meta tracking pixels, etc. If you’ve looked into CIPA compliance, then what about GDPR and CCPA compliance? If you install one of the highly rated cookie banners, is that good enough to cover all laws and regulations? Is your cookie banner WCAG 2.1 AA conformant when it’s installed on your website? Simply, privacy and tracking is a problem: It’s technically complex It’s legally complex It’s confusing It’s time-consuming And you can buy a plugin with 5-star reviews and you still won’t know if you’ve done everything you need to. Let’s unwrap this disaster. Innocent Starting Questions Do I need one for GDPR or CCPA or both? What about CIPA? What is CIPA? Should our privacy choices be opt-in or opt-out? Does the banner need to look different for visitors in Europe than for visitors in Ca
  5. All-in-One: How To Combine Website Privacy and Tracking Requirements With WCAG Conformance
    Aug 23, 2026 · original
    Combine work on GDPR, CCPA, and CIPA compliance and accessibility all at once by preventing non-essential tracking before consent, honoring opt-outs and privacy choices, and make the entire consent and privacy implementation WCAG 2.1 AA conformant. Here are the key steps to take: Block non-essential cookies and tracking technologies where consent is required. This addresses European consent requirements and provides a conservative approach to CIPA tracking risk. Add the CCPA layer where applicable: provide the required privacy choices, including the ability to opt out of sale or sharing, and automatically honor qualifying opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control. Make your cookie banner / entire consent and privacy-rights implementation WCAG conformant Manually verify everything on the live website: confirm tracking is actually blocked, privacy choices are honored, and t
  6. How To Make Your Website CIPA Compliant
    Aug 21, 2026 · original
    To be CIPA compliant, website owners must prevent non-essential third parties from receiving visitor data before valid consent. To ensure this is the case, it’s critical to 1) have tracking and consent mechanisms in place and 2) verify that any consent controls and tracking restrictions are working correctly. We highly recommend you maintain evidence of this verification with screenshots, screen recordings, and any third-party documentation. Website-tracking law and its interpretation under the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) remain unsettled. The reality is that no banner or configuration can provide 100% certainty against a lawsuit or demand letter. This is why website owners must pay attention to detail and take manual steps to ensure they are not sued. CIPA Website Tracking: Step by Step Step What to do What this involves 1. Test the website Observe what the live website do
  7. CIPA Website Tracking Lawsuits: Old California Law Now in Play
    Aug 20, 2026 · original
    CIPA complaints claim that tracking tools on your website violate California’s wiretapping and electronic-tracking laws. Now we’re seeing a similar story play out: California plaintiffs’ lawyers are taking advantage of a gray area in the law to make legal claims against website owners. Summary: California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) is a 1967 California wiretapping law now aimed at pixels, session replay, chat widgets, and analytics It provides a private right of action for injured persons, with statutory damages of $5,000 per violation It’s less expensive to settle and many defendants are doing just that The practical defense is preventing non-essential third-party tracking from firing before valid consent, then verifying that behavior on the live website We offer services — including manual testing and accessible consent banner installation — to ensure that non-essential tracking st
  8. TEA’s Accessibility Requirements for IMRA Publishers
    Aug 16, 2026 · original
    The Texas Education Agency requires publishers with digital instructional materials in IMRA Cycle 2026 to contract with a third party, at the publisher’s expense, to evaluate accessibility against WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508, remediate all findings, and submit an accessibility compliance report with a required coversheet to TEA by March 22, 2027. TEA’s Publisher Handbook describes this evaluation as an accessibility audit. Publishers who miss this requirement can lose their place in EMAT, the state ordering system, and their spot on the List of Approved Instructional Materials. Everything below quotes TEA’s official documentation, primarily the IMRA Cycle 2026 Request for Instructional Materials (RFIM) and the IMRA Publisher Handbook: Process Overview .

  9. VPATs for Articulate Courses: Storyline, Rise 360, SCORM
    Aug 15, 2026 · original
    We have received more requests recently for VPATs covering Articulate Storyline and Rise 360 courses. The pattern is consistent: a training vendor or content team is selling courses to a federal agency, a university, a state or local government, or a large enterprise, and the buyer’s procurement process requires an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) before the purchase can move forward. Why Procurement Asks for an ACR on Training Courses Section 508 requires federal agencies to purchase accessible information and communication technology, and training courses fall within that definition. The new ADA Title II Web Rule is also having major effects in the marketplace. Vendors selling into educational spaces are now being met with VPAT / ACR requests for their digital prodcuts and services. If you’re new to accessibility, you’re likely seeing WCAG 2.1 AA and WCAG 2.2 AA come up a lot. Un
  10. How Documentation Can Help Get an ADA Case Dismissed
    Aug 15, 2026 · original
    A dated record of your site’s state, plus remediation tied to specific issues, is what supports a mootness argument in an ADA website claim. Preserve the evidence first, then fix fast, remediating without a documented before-state can look like spoliation. An accessibility statement and contact method help as good-faith evidence, but they are not a defense. Documentation helps because the strongest arguments in an ADA website claim, mootness and good faith, are only as strong as the dated records behind them. Without proof of what your site looked like and what you fixed, you have an argument with nothing under it. This is general information, not legal advice. Why small and medium businesses get targeted Large companies have mostly remediated. Small and medium businesses are now the primary targets, and the vulnerability is the awareness gap. Plaintiff firms use free automated checkers
