Germany-specific requirements to plan for

Projects for businesses in Cologne have to work for local customers and local rules. These points are planned from the first milestone:

GDPR and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG): Cookies and tracking fall under the TDDDG; German regulators are strict about consent banners and US data transfers.
Interface and content languages: German and English (in tech and B2B).
Every commercial site needs an Impressum (legal notice) under § 5 of the Digitale-Dienste-Gesetz (DDG).
The full list for Germany is on the AI Website Developer in Germany page.

A daily call at 08:00–11:00 your time (12:30–15:30 IST) works year-round. Between calls you get written updates and a staging link that shows the latest build.
