Running a website in Europe means meeting several essential legal standards. This applies to both large platforms and simple websites.
Even if you're using a
template-based site, the technical setup must support all required scripts and legal documents.
1. GDPR & Privacy Policy (Ochrana osobních údajů)GDPR requires you to clearly explain what data you collect (even an IP address or a contact form email), how you store it, and who has access to it.
Where to place it: A separate page linked from the website footer.
What to include:- Controller details (your s.r.o. or OSVČ)
- Purpose of data collection
- Retention periods
- User rights, including data removal
2. Cookie Consent BannerSince 2022, Czech regulations require explicit consent before collecting any marketing or analytics cookies.
Common mistake: A banner that displays visually but does
not block scripts (e.g., Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics) until consent is given.
Correct implementation: A banner with clear options —
Accept all,
Reject all, and
Customize.
3. Business Identification (Všeobecné obchodní podmínky / Impressum)Under Czech law (Obchodní zákoník), users must be able to easily identify the service provider — crucial for
multi-page business websites.
Mandatory information:- Company name or sole trader name
- Registered address (sídlo)
- Company ID (IČO) and VAT number (DIČ)
- Registration details (Spisová značka)
Legal requirements vary based on your business model:
For e-commerce stores:- Clear return policy
- Complaint handling rules
- Prices must indicate whether VAT (DPH) is included
For service businesses:- Lead-generation forms must include a consent checkbox linked to the Privacy Policy
- Collecting data without consent is considered illegal
For informational platforms:- Disclaimers regarding external links and content liability are mandatory

article on building a secure and compliant website for the EU.
We treat website compliance not as bureaucracy but as part of UX and user trust. Our experience shows that well-implemented legal standards significantly increase credibility among Czech users.
- Technical integration: We don’t just install a cookie banner — we configure Google Tag Manager so analytics scripts fire only after consent.

- Localization: We translate and adapt formulations across Czech, English, and Russian, making sure your business looks professional in any market.
- Comprehensive audit: When ordering services at iuntsevich.cz, we verify whether your forms and user flows meet GDPR standards.
Regulations evolve constantly — from AI compliance rules to new e-commerce directives. Not knowing the law doesn’t remove the obligation to follow it, but correct technical setup eliminates 90% of the risks.
