It can happen to Anyone, and We respect that!
The Free Software Database has added the Disability Pride Flag to its logo, to celebrate the Disability Pride Month. The site is committed to modern, accessible web standards, and we hope this small symbol adds visibility and solidarity.

in reply to Lorenzo Ancora ๐ช๐บ๐ฎ๐น • • •Cool, but have you ever used the site (on mobile with bigger scale) before praising its accessibility?
Starts with the entirely needless cookie banner overlaying it, plus its close button that does not look like a close button; continues with the disability pride banner being super small but still line-wrapping the burger menuโฆ then flimsy custom dropdown menues not fitted to the screen instead of the default platform onesโฆ

Once you close the cookie notice, it won't reappear for 6 months or so.🙂
We've tested the website on laptops, tablets and modern smartphones, but we cannot guarantee that it appears correctly when the user uses extreme zoom on a very small screen. For such extreme cases, we've added support for horizontal layout: try tilting the screen, the website adapts automatically to the horizontal orientation.👋

NO, the cookie banner is NOT required by GDPR. This is a widespread misconception (sometimes also used as a blatant lie by people trying to discredit privacy activists). If you care, I will happily explain the details to you, and you can simply remove it.
> "extreme scale"
My scale is not extreme. And making websites responsive on devices of visually impaired users is the fricking **definition** of accessibility.

in reply to Nik | Klampfradler ๐ธ๐ฒ • • •We cannot remove the cookie notice, but we can check if it hinders accessibility.
We already respect the accessibility baselines required by law, but I believe we'll be happy to extend the website beyond the current open web standards to fit your specific accessibility needs.
TY in advance for your report. ๐

in reply to Lorenzo Ancora ๐ช๐บ๐ฎ๐น • • •And why can't you remove the cookie notice?
It is not required by any law.
Why do you insist in having an entirely unnecessary cookie banner?

in reply to Lorenzo Ancora ๐ช๐บ๐ฎ๐น • • •Why did you lie to me at first and wrongly claim that the GDPR requires consent to technically required cookies?
You are doing privacy awareness a disservice.
Apart from that, be advised that the GDPR **does** require something: If you ask for consent, your users must be able to fully use the site without giving consent. Your banner does not allow to decline, and the cookie is stored without giving consent. THAT is an actual GDPR breach.
It's so stupid, sorryโฆ

in reply to Lorenzo Ancora ๐ช๐บ๐ฎ๐น • • •Two hours ago, you told me the banner were a consent bannerโฆ
OK, next issue: Your site leaks personal information to Cloudflare without information and consent. This is a direct breach of GDPR. Mind making **that** transparent, while at it?
By the way, why are you constantly doxing my real name?
Lorenzo Ancora ๐ช๐บ๐ฎ๐น
in reply to Nik | Klampfradler ๐ธ๐ฒ • • •@nik "consent banner" is a legal industry term, commonly used for both consent and notice banners.
Checked: no leaks and we're in full legal compliance.๐
We use Cloudflare as a firewall to block hackers and AI bots and to perform green computing, saving the environment.
It is GDPR compliant: cloudflare.com/trust-hub/privaโฆ
I didn't know your real name (Nik -> Dominik is obvious), you confirmed it now.
I'm under the impression you're not feeling well and we're going off-topic, so let's take a pause.๐

You will eventually be out of breath or walking with a cane or... It waits for all of us to catch up to it. It just arrives earlier for some.
