Coverage

What Sitetals Assesses

We cover the compliance dimensions that matter for operating legally in France and Germany — the same areas regulators focus on, and where non-compliant sites face real consequences.

Regulatory focus, not checkbox compliance.

Plenty of tools generate long lists of warnings. We take a different approach: we assess the dimensions that French and German regulators consistently investigate, fine, and publish enforcement actions on.

What guides our coverage decisions

We track enforcement activity, published guidelines, and regulatory communications from CNIL (France) and the German data protection authorities. Our scanner reflects how regulators actually operate — not just what the law says on paper. A finding in your report means something a regulator would care about.

The dimensions we assess.

We scan your publicly accessible pages across the compliance areas that are most frequently scrutinised by French and German authorities. Each area is assessed in the context of the jurisdiction you select.

Visitor Consent

Cookie & Tracking Consent

Cookie consent is the single most enforced area across both jurisdictions. France and Germany have different but equally strict requirements — we assess both, including the details that most implementations overlook.

Legal Identity

Legal Notices & Disclosures

Both France and Germany impose mandatory legal disclosure requirements on websites — different in name, similar in intent. Missing or incomplete disclosures are among the most common triggers for regulatory complaints and legal warnings.

Data Protection

Privacy & GDPR Compliance

A privacy policy that exists is not the same as one that complies. We assess whether your privacy documentation covers what regulators in each jurisdiction require — not just whether a page is present.

Accessibility

Digital Accessibility

The European Accessibility Act is now in force. France and Germany both have specific accessibility obligations. We scan for the failures that appear most frequently in regulatory scrutiny of publicly accessible web content.

Consumer Rights

E-Commerce & Consumer Protections

Online businesses in France and Germany face specific consumer rights disclosure obligations. Consumer protection agencies in both countries actively investigate and sanction sites that fail to meet these requirements.

Technical Safeguards

Security & Data Integrity

GDPR requires technical measures proportionate to the risks of processing. We assess the observable security signals that regulators reference when evaluating whether a site meets its baseline data protection obligations.

What our scanner can — and cannot — assess.

We believe in being clear about the limits of automated scanning alongside its strengths.
