Embedding the Siwecos seal on your website

To show when the Siwecos scanners last checked your website, you can embed our Siwecos seal on your website.

Please note that the seal can only be embedded if you have registered with Siwecos!

There are three ways to embed the Siwecos seal on your website

Option 1: (seal is loaded from the Siwecos server)

The first option is intended for users who are not familiar with website editing. All you need to do is to copy the provided code into the source code of your website and to enter the name of your website ("my_Website"). The drawback of this option is that the image for the seal is loaded directly from the Siwecos server. If the Siwecos server is not available, the seal will not be displayed on your website.

• Copy the code into your source code, for example into the start page of your website.

• Replace "my_Website" in the code with your domain name (without http/https)
• Attention: This is the part that causes the most problems for users. Please make sure that you enter the domain name exactly as you have registered it with Siwecos (Example: If www.botfrei.de was registered, then www.botfrei.de must be entered for the seal!)

Complete example:

The date's format ideally consist of 5 characters. The recommended Formats are:

• d.m.y or d-m-y for british english format.
• y-m-d for ISO-8601 format.
• m/d/y for US-american format.

Recommendation: Embedding the seal for the Content Security Policy ("img-src 'self' siwecos.de;")

Option 2: (seal is stored locally in your own webspace)

For this option, you store a small JavaScript file locally on your webserver. The advantage is that the seal will be shown on your website even if the Siwecos server is not available. In this case, only the date of the last scan will be replaced by Standby.

Instructions:

• "Right-click with the mouse" on seal.js and, depending on your operating system, select "Save link as" or "Save target as" (see images), and save the seal image file in a directory of your choice (for example on the desktop).
  

| Then upload the file to your website directory on the server of your hosting provider. In this directory, there is usually a subdirectory for JavaScript (for example 'src'). Save the file "seal.js" in this subdirectory. After this, the following code must be copied into the start page at the position where you want the seal to be shown:

Seal with direct link to our "certificate page".

Option 3: (Seal as a static image)
