Cookies Notification; Opt in for European Cookie Law

European Cookie Law requires websites to notify customers that cookies are being used and how. The SFRA application uses an optional content asset, called cookie_hint, to contain this notice.

If this asset is ...	Then ...
Missing or offline	No notice is given. The cookies are set as they always have been. This approach is used in the USA, for example.
Present and online*	The `cookie_hint` content asset is used to show a notification: "Cookies are in use on this site." To proceed, the customer must dismiss the notification.

SFRA and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) provide a single shared standard for web content accessibility that meets the needs of individuals, organizations, and governments internationally. WCAG documents explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. See http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/wcag.

Important: While Commerce Cloud attempts to conform to Level AA test standards, compliance with WCAG is the sole responsibility of the merchant.

The WCAG guidelines followed were:

Level A: 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context)
Level AAA: 2.4.9 Link Purpose (Link Only)

The previous title-related corrections to SFRA use technique H33 (http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20140916/H33). The link text is supplemented with the title attribute to add more context. This extra context makes it easier for people with disabilities to determine the purpose of the link.
