External services

The Hürdenlos.Assist plugin integrates an accessibility overlay that is loaded from an external server to provide real-time accessibility enhancements for your website. This service is delivered via a Cloudflare CDN. For technical reasons, the user’s IP address is used temporarily during the transmission process to deliver the overlay script, but no user-related or personally identifiable information is stored or processed by the plugin itself. The overlay merely enables accessibility features on the client side without altering the website’s source code.

For more information regarding data usage and privacy practices, please refer to our FAQ or our data protection policy.

FAQ

What is the Hürdenlos.Assist widget and how does it work?

Hürdenlos.Assist is an AI-based accessibility widget that enhances the usability of your website for individual users. Once embedded, it allows visitors to make user-specific accessibility adjustments in real time. These modifications are applied dynamically on the client side—your website’s source code remains unchanged.

Is Hürdenlos.Assist compliant with accessibility standards like WCAG?

The widget is based on the principles of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and helps improve accessibility. However, like all tools of its kind, it cannot by itself ensure full legal compliance. Some accessibility issues must still be addressed manually.

Do I need technical skills to use this plugin?

No technical expertise is required! Once activated and the API key is entered, the widget operates automatically—no coding or manual adjustments needed.

How do I get the API key?

You can purchase the API key directly at gsp-software.eu/hurdenlosassist.

What happens if I don’t enter an API key?

Without a valid API key, the widget will not function. To activate it, enter your API key under “Settings > Hürdenlos.Assist” in your website’s dashboard.

Does the widget support multiple languages?

Yes, the Hürdenlos.Assist widget supports multiple languages, enhancing accessibility for a diverse audience. Users can select their preferred language directly from the widget’s interface.

Will the changes made by the widget be saved for future visits?

Yes, the accessibility adjustments made by the Hürdenlos.Assist widget are saved, ensuring a consistent and optimized experience for returning visitors. User preferences are also retained to maintain personalized accessibility settings.

What happens if the widget cannot address all accessibility issues?

While Hürdenlos.Assist covers many common accessibility barriers, complex or structural issues often require manual remediation. Our team offers professional audits and consulting services to help ensure comprehensive compliance and an inclusive digital experience.

Does integrating the widget affect my website’s performance?

The Hürdenlos.Assist widget is designed to have a minimal impact on your website’s performance. It operates efficiently to ensure that accessibility enhancements do not compromise loading times or overall site functionality.

Is full compliance with WCAG guaranteed?

While Hürdenlos.Assist significantly improves accessibility and helps meet WCAG guidelines, no widget on the market — ours included — can guarantee full legal compliance on its own. For complete accessibility, we recommend combining automated support with expert audits and manual adjustments. Visit www.gsp-software.eu for more information.
