What is a wind band? There are incredibly many variants of 3D compressible tapes; when processed according to manufacturer guidelines, they work. There are laypeople who believe that a fully decompressed compressible tape is airtight, but this is not the case. If you are lucky, it is still sufficient for thermal insulation.
The windproof tape is glued to the window frame and then to the wall* (usually with a type of mounting adhesive). The windproof tape covers the joints of the window. It is also called sealing adhesive tape!
...and as temporary UV protection, e.g., for foam sealant before, for example, [WVDS] and/or plaster is applied.
With 3D compressible tape, however, this is (actually) not necessary.

So what now?
Is a driving rain sealing in combination with compressible tape required or not?
(I, as a layman, would have said: yes, but would also suspect that compressible tape is “sealed” in the sense of airtight/windproof. Since the compressible tape lies deeper than the frame, a driving rain sealing makes sense)
