Compliance status

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of ability.

To achieve this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 (WCAG 2.2) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairments, cognitive disabilities, and more.

This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

Our website implements the ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes technique, alongside various behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters the site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate the site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements:

• Screen-reader optimization:

we run a process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom to ensure continuous compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA attributes set. For example, we provide accurate form labels, descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.), validation guidance for form inputs, and element roles such as buttons, menus, and modal dialogs (popups).

Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get an automatic announcement to turn on the Screen-reader mode as soon as they enter the website.

These adjustments are compatible with popular screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.

• Keyboard navigation optimization:

The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML and adds various behaviors using JavaScript to make the website operable by keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links with the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.

Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus available at any time by pressing Alt+2, or as the first element of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allowing the focus to drift outside of it.

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

Additional UI, design and readability adjustments

1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochromatic. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. This includes videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight only focused or hovered elements.
5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may have headaches or other issues due to auto-playing audio. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
7. Additional functions – we provide users with the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

Assistive technology and browser compatibility

We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera, and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC.

Notes, comments, and feedback

Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution. Still, we continuously improve our accessibility, add, update, and improve its options and features, and develop and adopt new technologies. All this is with the aim to reach and maintain the optimal level of accessibility at any given time.

Feedback mechanism for receiving reports from website users

The feedback mechanism is a digital tool designed to allow anyone to notify the service provider of any issues found on the website, in terms of compliance with accessibility principles (reference for digital accessibility: Law no. 4 of January 9, 2004, updated by Legislative Decree no. 106 of August 10, 2018), or to obtain feedback regarding inaccessible information and/or request adjustments to the IT systems available to users.
