ACCESSIBILITY POLICY<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Compliance status<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone\u00a0and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the broadest possible\u00a0audience, regardless of ability.<\/p>\nTo fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web\u00a0Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA\u00a0level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a\u00a0wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the\u00a0website is accessible to blind people, people with motor impairments, visual
\nimpairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.\n

This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible\u00a0as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with\u00a0specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their\u00a0personal needs.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background\u00a0and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the\u00a0website’s HTML, adapts its functionality and behavior for screen- readers used by\u00a0blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.<\/p>\nIf you wish to contact the website’s owner please use the following email:

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications)\u00a0technique, alongside various behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with\u00a0screen-readers can read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as\u00a0a user with a screen-reader enters the site, they immediately receive a prompt to\u00a0enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate the site effectively.<\/p>\n

Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader\u00a0requirements:<\/p>\n1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a process that learns the website’s\u00a0components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when\u00a0updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful\u00a0data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form\u00a0labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart
\nicons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons,\u00a0menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others.\n

Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images. It provides\u00a0an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an\u00a0ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts\u00a0embedded within the image using an OCR (optical character recognition)\u00a0technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need\u00a0only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen- reader users also get\u00a0automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they\u00a0enter the website.<\/p>\n

These adjustments are compatible with popular screen readers such as JAWS,\u00a0NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.<\/p>\n

2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the\u00a0website’s HTML and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the\u00a0website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the\u00a0website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow\u00a0keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the\u00a0Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow\u00a0keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.<\/p>\n

Additionally, keyboard users will find content-skip menus available at any time by\u00a0clicking Alt+2, or as the first element of the site while navigating with the\u00a0keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving\u00a0the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, not allowing the focus\u00a0to drift outside.<\/p>\n

Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms),\u00a0“B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Font adjustments – users can increase and decrease its size, change its\u00a0family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.<\/p>\n

2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as\u00a0light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color\u00a0schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds with over seven different coloring\u00a0options.<\/p>\n

3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a\u00a0button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS\u00a0flashing transitions.<\/p>\n

4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize essential elements\u00a0such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered\u00a0elements only.<\/p>\n

5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or\u00a0other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the\u00a0entire website instantly.<\/p>\n

6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine linked to Wikipedia and\u00a0Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of\u00a0phrases, initials, slang, and others.<\/p>\n

7. Additional functions – we allow users to change cursor color and size, use a\u00a0printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Assistive technology and browser compatibility<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

We aim to support as many browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our\u00a0users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible.<\/p>\n

Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that\u00a0comprise over 95% of the user market share, including Google Chrome, Mozilla\u00a0Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS, and NVDA (screen readers),\u00a0both for Windows and MAC users.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
