OK, we are still running CQPweb v3.2.42 © 2008-2020 – and when cqpweb is 
already changed along the lines below, it is a compelling reason for an 
immediate upgrade.

By German law we are required to provide links on every web page to a 
so-called impressum (naming the provider of a website), data protection 
statement (telling something about the data we store and process, and 
naming the data protection officer), and even accessibility (telling 
something about accessibility of the website). Ideally, these links and 
their anchor texts would be configurable by some variables in 
lib/config.inc.php, a typical placement for them is the footer of the 
page, say, in the center position of the footer.

Has someone done this already and is willing to share a solution?

Thanks in advance,

Jörg Knappen

P.S. Accessibility is probably the worst thing, but stating that 
something is not yet accessible seems to be OK for the moment. The other 
two are pretty standard, I just need a place to plug them in.
