Spanish digital law changed in June 2025. Most Nordic sites haven't.

Ley 11/2023 extended accessibility obligations to private companies on 28 June 2025, and the Spanish disclosure and cookie rules already went further than GDPR alone. Most Nordic companies in Spain are running a site that met the requirements when it launched and doesn't now.

Most people who understand Spanish digital compliance can't build. Most people who can build don't understand the Spanish market. That gap is where I work.

Three things that catch Nordic companies out

  • EU-wide compliance isn't Spanish compliance

    GDPR is European. LSSI-CE, LOPDGDD and the AEPD's cookie criteria are Spanish — stricter, more specific, and more actively enforced than most Nordic companies expect. A cookie banner that passes in Stockholm frequently fails in Madrid.

  • Accessibility stopped being optional in June 2025

    Ley 11/2023 transposed the European Accessibility Act into Spanish law, effective 28 June 2025. Obligations now reach private companies — e-commerce, banking, booking platforms, passenger transport. The standard is WCAG 2.2 AA, and very few private Spanish sites currently meet it. Sanctions scale with severity; on the cookie side, the AEPD publishes its decisions and has been issuing them for years.

  • Translated and localised are not the same thing

    Spanish B2B buyers read a translated site as a foreign company testing the market. A missing NIF and physical address, no Bizum, a register of formality wrong for the audience, a contact form nobody answers in August — each one costs conversions in ways analytics won't show you.

Why me

I'm Swedish, I've lived and worked in Barcelona for over twenty years, and I've spent most of that time on both sides of this bridge.

I ran the Swedish-Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Barcelona from 2014 to 2017, where my job was making a Spanish organisation work for Nordic companies. Before that, naval R&D at Rolls-Royce and nine years in aviation. Since 2018 I've been building software — most recently as a senior frontend engineer on enterprise projects, now independently, focused on AI product work.

Which means I can sit in a Swedish board call in the morning and a Spanish supplier meeting in the afternoon, and I know why those two conversations need to be run differently.

It also means I've read the regulations in Spanish and shipped the code that satisfies them. Those are usually two different people.

FAQ

We already have a website. Do we need a new one?

Usually not. Most problems are fixable on your existing site, whatever it's built with. That's what the remediation tier is for — I'd rather fix what you have than sell you a rebuild you don't need.

Does this apply to us? We're small.

The accessibility obligations under Ley 11/2023 generally exempt companies under 10 employees. RGPD, LOPDGDD and the Spanish cookie rules exempt nobody. Small companies still need the legal layer.

Do you work outside Barcelona?

Yes — anywhere in Spain, and the work is largely remote regardless.

We're not Nordic. Can you still help?

Yes. The compliance work is the same for any foreign company entering Spain. The Nordic part is just where I'm most useful on the cultural side.
