Insights on e-commerce, web development and digital solutions
Here you find our articles about online shops, websites and web tech. We explain new rules, tools and good ways of working. You can filter the articles by topic. At the top of an article you find a short version in plain words. Ask us if something is still not clear.
The data processing agreement is signed, and in many shops that is where processor management ends. Which control duties Article 28 GDPR creates, why sub-processors belong in the picture and which records hold up when a supervisory authority asks.
A font is embedded, not ordered – and that is exactly where the trouble starts. License scope, place of delivery and load order decide both the legal and the performance side.
Which data an AI feature carries out of the shop, which operating models exist and when a model on your own hardware starts to pay off.
A dump of the production database is the most convenient route to a realistic test system – and the shortest route to a second copy of all customer data. What law and baseline standards require, what the dump chain looks like and which three blocks every copy needs.
The GDPR names no periods, German commercial and tax law does. How ten, eight, six, five and three years become workable deletion classes – with period start, restriction flag and a deletion run that writes a log.
In 2026 WebGPU is enabled by default in Chrome and Edge, and in Safari and Firefox on some platforms. Small language models now run directly in the browser – for private shop assistants, semantic search and text snippets, offline and without API costs. We sort out the chances, limits and hybrid approaches.
Anyone who dismisses the banner is missing from every report. A setup with consent-free measurement, self-hosted fonts and genuinely necessary cookies, and where the limits of that approach are.
Larger targets, terms explained, input help, clear focus, no time limits
You decide which optional data processing to allow.
Our anonymous reach measurement runs without cookies and without IP storage, including campaign parameters in links – we do not ask for consent for it because none is legally required.
Strictly required: language preference, core site functions and storing your cookie choice. Without these the site does not work. Settings you choose yourself (light/dark appearance, accessibility) are kept in your browser's local storage only once you choose them; "Reset" in the accessibility settings removes them.
Records your interactions (clicks, scrolling, inputs) pseudonymously so we can spot usability issues. Form field inputs are masked automatically before storage; your IP address is not saved with the recording. Served from our own domain, no external tool. Opt-in, revocable any time.
