## Field notes

- `dataConfidence` (high/medium/low) describes the editorial confidence of
  the structured tool data – i.e. how reliable sources, pricing notes and
  feature claims currently are. It is **not** a rating of product quality,
  fitness or legal compliance and is **not** a ranking signal.
- `lastReviewedAt` is the date of our last editorial review of the entry,
  not the tool's release date.
- Editorial long-form body text is now available in both English (root)
  and German (/de prefix) for tool details, comparisons, industry and
  system landings. Legal pages remain published in German for legal
  validity under Austrian/EU jurisdiction.

## Common questions (short answers)

Q: What is GDPR Tool Finder?
A: An independent editorial finder and comparison for cookie-consent and
   privacy-friendly analytics tools, focused on small EU businesses.

Q: Does GDPR Tool Finder provide legal advice?
A: No. The site explains options and trade-offs. A GDPR/DSGVO assessment
   for a specific deployment is the operator's responsibility.

Q: How are tools recommended?
A: A 10-question finder maps the operator's site, audience, tooling stack,
   and compliance constraints to three recommendation buckets (low-cost,
   balanced, advanced) via an editorial scoring model documented at
   https://gdprtoolfinder.eu/methodik.

Q: Does affiliate compensation influence rankings?
A: No. The ordering follows the documented methodology, not partner
   commission. Affiliate links carry rel="nofollow sponsored" and are
   disclosed at https://gdprtoolfinder.eu/affiliate-hinweis.

Q: Which markets does the site target?
A: EU-wide, with practical examples from the DACH region (Germany,
   Austria, Switzerland). The default language is English; the
   /de prefix serves a German variant of every public page.

Q: What categories does it cover?
A: Cookie-consent management platforms (CMP) and privacy-friendly web
   analytics. Out of scope today: DPA management, data-subject-request
   workflow software, and ad-tech CMPs for large publishers.

Q: Does the finder support Google Consent Mode v2 and IAB TCF v2.2?
A: Yes — these are explicit decision criteria. Each tool profile records
   whether the vendor implements them. Match the criterion to the
   operator's actual need; not every site requires either.

Q: How current is the data?
A: Each tool profile carries a `lastReviewedAt` date and a `dataConfidence`
   tier (high/medium/low). Vendor claims should still be verified with the
   vendor before any contractual decision.
