EU-facing expectations
For EU and EEA readers, the key issues for a site like Scientific Revenue are a clear privacy notice, transparent explanation of legal bases, a truthful cookie posture, restraint around non-essential tracking, and an accurate explanation of the reader details now saved through the funding-alert signup form.
The current site still keeps that scope relatively narrow with opt-in analytics, no ad-tech, no reader accounts, and no broader profiling, but it now does maintain a small reader contact database. If the site later expands analytics, introduces embedded third-party tools, or broadens personal-data collection, it should add the necessary consent and request-handling workflow before launch rather than after.
U.S.-facing expectations
For U.S. readers, the main pressure points today are transparency about what is collected, whether personal information is sold or shared, whether the service is directed to children, and whether the public-facing site is accessible.
Scientific Revenue's current posture is intentionally narrow: no sale or sharing for behavioral ads, no child-directed features, no paywall identity layer, a limited alert-signup database, and analytics that can be declined.
Accessibility and public-facing obligations
Because Scientific Revenue is a public-facing publication, accessibility should be treated as part of compliance rather than only as a design preference. The site therefore maintains a separate accessibility statement and should continue to use recognized technical guidance such as WCAG in future development.
