Accessibility Statement — Cookie Approval Plus


1. Purpose statement

Cookie Approval Plus is a digital medical prosthetic. Accessibility is not a feature of this app; it is the reason the app exists and the whole of what it does.

A prosthetic does not restore a limb — it restores a function, standing in for a motion the body cannot make, so the person can get on with the task. This one is software, and it substitutes for a single motion: the small, precise, endlessly repeated tap that clears a consent prompt. The decision itself stays entirely with the user, who sets it in advance. The app performs only the movement.

That is the same reason a hand prosthesis exists, and the same reason for everything else revenue from this app is intended to fund.

The app was built for people with motor and dexterity impairments — limited or no use of the hands, arms, or fingers — arising from conditions including but not limited to spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, ALS/motor neurone disease, Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, arthritis, repetitive strain injury, stroke, amputation, and limb difference.

Where this sits

Cookie Approval Plus is the first project of a longer effort. Casinos Custom, LLC intends to establish a non-profit building technology that restores lost function.

Some of that is software: eye-tracking that navigates by intent, control surfaces driven by whatever movement a person has, and custom interfaces built around one person's range of motion rather than an average one. Some is physical. Some is both — AI-assisted prosthetics that read muscle signals to close a hand or move a leg.

The common thread is the principle this app is built on: identify the motion a person cannot make, and make it for them.

Cookie Approval Plus is a paid app, and what you pay for it goes toward that. The non-profit is not yet established, so this is a statement of intention rather than of present fact — we are not asking anyone to donate, and no existing charity receives your money. You are buying a tool; this is what the company does with the revenue.

The app carries no advertising and no in-app purchases.

2. The barrier it removes

Consent banners are, for most people, a small irritation. For a person who cannot perform a precise touch gesture, they are a physical barrier repeated dozens of times a day.

A typical cookie banner requires the user to:

For a user with a significant motor impairment, each of those steps can take several attempts, cause pain, or be impossible without assistance from another person. The barrier is not the decision — the user knows what they want. The barrier is the motor act of executing it.

3. How the app removes it

The user makes the decision once, in advance, in a settings screen designed for large targets and no time pressure. Thereafter, the app performs the motor act on the user's behalf, each time the barrier appears.

This is the same substitution that every assistive technology makes:

Assistive technology Substitutes for
Screen reader Reading the screen visually
Switch access Touching a specific point on the screen
Voice control Manual navigation and selection
A hand prosthesis A grasping motion the hand cannot make
Cookie Approval Plus The precise, repeated tap needed to clear a consent prompt

The app is built on Android's Accessibility Service API — the same platform capability those tools use — because it is the only API Android provides for reading on-screen content and performing a gesture on the user's behalf. It is declared to the platform with android:isAccessibilityTool="true".

4. Design decisions driven by the accessibility purpose

These are not incidental. Each follows directly from who the app is for.

5. Conformance

Cookie Approval Plus aims to conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AA as applied to mobile applications, and follows the Android accessibility developer guidance including minimum touch target sizes, content labelling, and text scaling.

Self-assessment status: partially conformant. The following are known and tracked:

Area Status
Touch target size (2.5.8) All interactive controls meet or exceed 48dp
Keyboard / switch operability (2.1.1) All controls are reachable by directional navigation and switch access
Screen-reader labelling (1.1.1, 4.1.2) All controls carry text labels; decorative emoji are supplementary to labelled text
Text resizing (1.4.4) Layouts are scrolling and use scalable text units
Colour contrast (1.4.3) Meets AA against the app's surface colours
No timing (2.2.1) No time limit exists anywhere in the app
No motion or gesture requirement (2.5.1, 2.5.4) The app requires no path-based gesture, shake, or tilt
Dark theme / reduced brightness sensitivity Supported
Localisation of the interface The interface, the first-run disclosure and the consent acknowledgement are available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish and Portuguese. The Nordic languages are detected but the interface is not yet translated into them.

If you encounter an accessibility barrier in the app itself, please tell us — see §7. Accessibility defect reports are treated as priority bugs.
