3820142 - A11y - Cookie consent button lacks descriptive accessible name for screen readers - Recruiting Marketing

Symptom

The button to modify your preferences in the cookie pop-up lacks a descriptive accessible name, so screen reader users cannot determine the button’s purpose before activating it.

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Marketing

Cause

Overriding the default cookie manager button label “Modify Cookie Preferences” with a custom label removed the descriptive accessible name.

Resolution

  1. CSB>Appearance>Global>Cookie Manager
  2. Click to edit "View Details Button Label":
  3. Remove the custom override text for the cookie consent/manager button and click Save:
  4. Verify with a screen reader that the button is announced with a descriptive accessible name.
