* Hi,
* I’m trying to have an accessible website and in order to I’m using the [Wave browser plug-in](https://wave.webaim.org/extension/)
to check errors and alerts.
* It detects errors on form labels (multiple and empty one):
* ```
```
* Same for other checkbox (marketing, etc.), it might not be voluntary on your
part but I just wanted to bring your attention to this. 😉
* Thanks for the time you’ll take to maybe look into it.

* [@carnets2routards](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carnets2routards/) Thank
you for pointing this out. We have WCAG 2.1 compatibility on our backlog, I am
sure that we’ll have a look at these checkboxes as well!
* Is there anything specific that we could do to help you out right now?
* Regards,
Leon

* Hi [@carnets2routards](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carnets2routards/),
* We’re working on a WCAG 2.1 update for this summer. Including the banner, policies,
and wizard. We’ll take this into account. Thanks a lot!

* Please may I add my vote needing WCAG 2.1AA compatibility?
* Unfortunately we deal with sites that absolutely require it, and this is now
causing a serious problem 🙁
* I don’t suppose there’s an ETA so that I can keep my clients informed?

* Hi [@farisr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/farisr/) ,
* Maybe this will help: [https://complianz.io/improved-accessibility-for-complianz-documents-banner/](https://complianz.io/improved-accessibility-for-complianz-documents-banner/)
* TLDR: It was already implemented 3 weeks ago 🙂

* Thanks Mathieu … but I already have 4.7.0
* The issue does not appear to be CSS related (I HAVE modified the CSS). I don’t
know enough about Themes to know for sure, but the errors being found do not
appear to be Theme related.
* The errors I’m seeing are related to this “Elements should not have tabindex
greater than zero”
* And the actual code is similar to the following:
`Preferences`
* But there are four errors in total, one each for the Preference, Accept All,
Functional, and Cookie Policy links.
* These issues are found with the Axe WCAG tool and fall under WCAG Best Practices,
apparently: [https://dequeuniversity.com/rules/axe/3.5/tabindex?application=AxeChrome](https://dequeuniversity.com/rules/axe/3.5/tabindex?application=AxeChrome)
* I have scanned using WAVE and it also find these same things.
* Do I have to regenerate the cookie banner or something to trigger the code changes?
* Or is the positive tabindex deliberate? After all, you want these buttons to
be the “first” that are accessed, overriding anything else. Yet is is not Best
Practice according to WCAG 🙁
* I am not an expert in this field so please don’t take anything I’ve mentioned
here as any form of complaint or criticism.

* We’re currently testing with the tabindex 0. If you want you can test it yourself
using this branch:
[https://github.com/Really-Simple-Plugins/complianz-gdpr/tree/tabindex-to-0](https://github.com/Really-Simple-Plugins/complianz-gdpr/tree/tabindex-to-0)
* If all tests are completed successfully, it will get merged in 4.7.2
