Non-modal window after time delay

Hi everyone,

On our website a non-modal window appears after a almost half a minute, asking visitors if they want to participate in a survey.
(For example on this page: https://www.denhaag.nl/home/bewoners/loket/to/Grofvuil-of-tuinafval-wegbrengen-afvalbrengstations.htm. You will have to wait 25 seconds before the window scrolls into view, in the left hand corner)

Two questions:


1) The window appears some time after the page has loaded. Is such a time-delay allowed by WCAG?

2) How can I make the appearance of this window known to users of assistive technology?
