EAAWatchStudy — our research crawler

EAAWatchStudy is the user agent of a study by EAA Watch: how accessible the home pages of online shops in Europe are, measured with automated WCAG 2.x checks (the open-source axe-core engine). We publish only aggregate statistics by country and rule — no shop names and no results of individual shops.

What it requests

What we respect

What we keep

Per domain: the identifiers of the failed axe-core rules, their counts, the HTTP status and sampling data from public sources (country, shop platform, category). No page text, images, screenshots or personal data. Records are kept until the report is published and for about 12 months after; then only aggregates remain.
