Assistive technology that converts UI content into speech/Braille; relevant to accessible privacy controls.

Definition

Screen readers rely on semantic markup and accessible interaction patterns. Privacy UX (consent flows, settings, opt-out) should be perceivable and operable without visual cues.

In plain English Assistive technology that converts UI content into speech/Braille; relevant to accessible privacy controls.

Why this matters

Why it matters: Inaccessible privacy controls undermine meaningful consent and can create unfair barriers to opting out of tracking.

Example

Example: Implement accessible toggles, focus states, labels, and skip links so consent management works with screen readers and keyboard-only navigation.
