# Contao

Unclassified · [Official website](https://contao.org)

Contao is an open-source content management system written in PHP and built on Symfony, formerly known as TYPOlight. It is developed by a community largely based in Germany and is known for its accessibility and built-in privacy features. The core sets session cookies for logged-in users and forms, while tracking only comes from extensions or scripts the site adds.
