Continuing the discussion from [Adding Advertising](https://meta.discourse.org/t/adding-advertising/5283/24):

> In Germany, by law, every site must display an easily accessible means to get publisher information on every page served, or otherwise you can get an “[Abmahnung](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abmahnung)”, which usually involves fairly high attorney fees to be paid by the addressee of the Abmahnung. Web site owners usually opt to put this information behind a small link called “Impressum” somewhere at the bottom, because I don’t suppose anyone wants these legal links to mess up their top navigation.

The above topic is from 2013, I found no other matches when searching for “Impressum”, the German word for “Imprint” or “Legal Note”.

To be on the safe side, I would like to have an additional (configurable?) hamburger menu item “Impressum” which links to an editable page, just like e.g. the “FAQ” page does.

Alternatively, I would like to be able to edit the contents of the “About” page.

**So my suggestion is:**

Please provide an additional configurable/renamable hamburger menu item “Legal note” to a configurable content page.

I’m not entirely sure if that’d help. It’s one click too far off, and the hamburger menu might very well not be “obvious” enough. You could use a site customization to put a fixed, non-scrolling footer at the bottom of the page…

> By [German law,](http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impressumspflicht) a site owner has to provide a disclaimer with address information, limitation of liability and privacy infos. I think this would be the best place to add this information. Does someone already wrote a plugin / hack for this use case? Thanks you all in advance, Markus
