Typically overlays, or widgets, apply the third-party&#8217;s source code to the existing code of the host website in an effort to change the user experience by overriding or adding to the existing code.

By not addressing the underlying cause of accessibility barriers, the effectiveness of overlays has been debated. There has also been an increase in the number of lawsuits against websites that use third-party overlays.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plaintiff Name: MEGHAN DOWNING Filing date: August 11, 2021 State of filing: California Defendant Name: GNC HOLDINGS, LLC Website: www.gnc.com Industry: Retailing Summary: GNC Holdings, Inc. specializes in health and nutrition related products.
