Comments:	Focus does not stay in iframe after accepting privacy policy when default BlueSpice content is loaded. (erm:25216) Default loads a page from bluespice.com which has non-compliant content (video without captions). The default page is hard to navigate because of cookie consent menu and focusable mobile menu. Link can be deactivated in main menu for all users and can be ignored by admin users in the management menu. Extension can be deactivated for on-premise installations or custom content can be loaded in iframe (customer is responsible for loading accessible content).
