Find out what EU website compliance means, what the penalties are, and why we are the best partner for your GDPR, EAA and WCAG compliance needs.
U website compliance is not just a legal obligation — it is essential for building user trust and improving search visibility. In this article, we provide a comprehensive overview of what compliance involves, the potential penalties for non-compliance and why choosing the right partner is crucial for success.
What does EU compliance cover?
EU compliance means your website follows key regulations such as:
- GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
- EAA (European Accessibility Act)
- WCAG 2.1 accessibility guidelines
These standards govern how you collect and process data, manage cookies, ensure accessibility and protect users.
Key dates
- 25 May 2018 – GDPR in force
- 28 June 2025 – EAA applies to new systems
- 2026 – stronger enforcement and inspections expected
What are the penalties for non-compliance?
- GDPR fines: up to €20 million or 4% of global annual revenue, whichever is higher
- EAA fines: set by individual EU countries; significant fines and potential service restrictions
- SEO impact: loss of visibility, less traffic, loss of trust
