Accessibility Statement

Compliance Status

We believe that the Internet should be accessible to everyone and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of ability.

To do this, we strive to strictly adhere to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) Level AA. The guidelines describe how to ensure that web content is accessible to people with a variety of disabilities. Following these guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to people who are blind, have motor impairments, have visual impairments, have cognitive impairments, etc.

This website uses a variety of technologies designed to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We use accessible interfaces that allow people with specific disabilities to adjust the website's UI (user interface) and design it to their individual needs.

In addition, this website uses an AI-based application that runs in the background and continuously optimizes its accessibility level. This application repairs the website's HTML code and adjusts its functionality and behavior to accommodate screen readers used by blind users and keyboard functions used by people with motor impairments.

Screen Reader and Keyboard Navigation

Our website implements ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technology and makes several behavioral adjustments to ensure that blind users using screen readers can read, understand, and enjoy the functionality of the website. Users using screen readers will be prompted to enter their screen reader profile as soon as they enter your website so that they can navigate and operate your website effectively. Here is how our website meets some of the most important screen reader requirements:

Screen Reader Optimization: We run a process to learn each component of the website from top to bottom to ensure continuous compliance even as the website is updated. During this process, we use the ARIA attribute set to provide meaningful data to screen readers. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions of actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, shopping cart icons, etc.); validation guidelines for form inputs; and element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogs (pop-ups), etc.

In addition, a background process scans all images of the website. For images that are not described, it provides accurate and meaningful descriptions based on image object recognition as ALT (alternative text) tags. It also uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to extract text embedded in images. Screen reader adjustments can be enabled at any time by pressing Alt+1. Screen reader users will also be notified to automatically enable screen reader mode after entering the site.

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

Keyboard Navigation Optimization: The background process also adjusts the HTML code of the website and uses JavaScript code to add various behaviors to make the website keyboard-operable. This includes using Tab and Shift+Tab keys to navigate the site, using arrow keys to operate drop-down menus, using Esc key to close drop-down menus, using Enter key to trigger buttons and links, using arrow keys to navigate between radio button and checkbox elements, and using Space or Enter key to fill content.

In addition, keyboard users can use a menu to skip content at any time by pressing Alt+2 keys, or as the first element of the website when navigating using the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus to them as soon as they appear, preventing focus from drifting outside.

Users can also jump to specific elements using shortcut keys like "M" (menus), "H" (headers), "F" (forms), "B" (buttons), and "G" (graphics).

Our website supports a variety of profiles for people with disabilities

Epilepsy Safe Profile: This profile eliminates the risk of epileptic seizures caused by flashing animations and dangerous color combinations, making the website safe for people with epilepsy.

Visually Impaired Profile: This profile adjusts the website to make it suitable for most people with visual impairments, such as reduced vision, tunnel vision, cataracts, glaucoma, etc.

Cognitive Impairment Profile: This profile provides various accessibility features to help users with cognitive impairments such as autism, dyslexia, cerebrovascular disease (CVA) focus more easily on essential elements.

ADHD Friendly Profile: This profile significantly reduces distractions and noise, helping people with ADHD and neurodevelopmental disorders navigate, read, and focus on essential elements more easily.

Blind User Profile (Screen Reader): ThisThe profile adjusts the website to be compatible with screen readers like JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. This website is also compatible with screen readers installed on the computers of blind people.

Keyboard Navigation Profile (Mobility Impaired): This profile allows people with mobility impairments to navigate the website using the Tab, Shift+Tab, and Enter keys on their keyboard. Users can also use shortcuts like "M" (Menu), "H" (Heading), "F" (Form), "B" (Button), and "G" (Graphic) to jump to specific elements.

Other UI, Design, and Readability Adjustments

Font Adjustments – Users can increase or decrease the font size, change the font family (font), adjust spacing, alignment, line height, and more.

Color Adjustments – Users can choose from a variety of color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. In addition, users can switch the color scheme of titles, text, and backgrounds using more than seven different color schemes.

Animations – People with epilepsy can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Interface-controlled animations include video, GIF, and CSS blink transitions.

Content Highlighting – Users can choose to emphasize important elements like links and headings, or to highlight only elements on focus or hover.

Audio Mute – Users who wear hearing aids may experience headaches or other issues with auto-playing audio. This option allows users to mute the entire site at once.

Cognitive Impairment – We use a search engine linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary to help people with cognitive impairments understand the meaning of phrases, acronyms, slang, etc.

Additional Features – We allow users to change cursor color and size, use print mode, enable virtual keyboards, and many other features.

Assistive Technologies and Browser Compatibility

We are committed to supporting as many browsers and assistive technologies as possible so that our users can choose the tools that work best for them with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we do our best to support all major systems that account for more than 95% of the user market share, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS, and NVDA (screen reader) for Windows and MAC users.

Notes, comments and feedback

Despite our best efforts to allow anyone to adapt the website to their needs, there may be pages or parts that are not yet fully accessible, are in the process of being made accessible or lack a complete technical solution. Nevertheless, we are constantly improving accessibility, adding, updating and improving options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this in order to achieve the best possible level of accessibility in the context of technological progress.
