 * Hi,
 * Accessibility plugin axe Devtools for Firefox reports two accessibility issues
   with the floating Pressidium cookie button when scanning the page:
    1. Buttons must have discernible text (Critical)
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <button class="button sm fade-in-up visible">  <slot name="icon"></slot></button>
       ```
   
 * A possible solution would be to add aria-label=”Cookie preferences” to the button.
 * 2. Interactive controls must no be nested (Serious)
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <pressidium-floating-button role="button">
       ```
   
 * It then shows the same code from point 1, saying it is a focusable descendant.
   The issue is there is a focusable button within a focusable button (due to role
   =”button” on the outer element). Perhaps the internal element should not be a
   button, or the role could on the outer element could be widget or none.
