Our guides, tools and cases rely on these 165 sources, grouped here by type. The date is the date of the document (publication or last update).
How we source
- Primary sources. Legislation comes from EUR-Lex and the German Federal Law Gazette, the guidelines, the Code of Practice and the EU icons directly from the European Commission. Statements on obligations, design, deadlines and fines rest on them; paragraph numbers (para.) refer to guidelines C(2026) 5054.
- Secondary sources such as articles, law firm publications and association guides help us find questions. Where a statement rests on such a source alone, the page says so.
- Platforms and standards (Google, Meta, IPTC, C2PA) are cited from their help pages and specifications, with the retrieval date.
- Changes are recorded in the changelog. The list is also available as quellen.json (CC BY 4.0).
