Accessibility statement

We believe that the internet should be accessible to everyone and we actively work to ensure that our website can be used by as many people as possible - regardless of disability. To achieve this, we aim to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 level AA, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which describe how web content can be made more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities. By following them as much as possible, we want to ensure that the website is accessible to people who are blind, visually impaired, have motor difficulties, cognitive disabilities, etc.

The website uses several technologies to maintain a high level of accessibility. We use an interface that allows people with specific needs to customize the website's user interface (UI) according to their preferences. In addition, we use a technical solution that runs in the background and continuously optimizes the accessibility of the website.

This solution improves the HTML code of the website and adapts the functionality and behavior for screen readers (for blind users) and keyboard navigation (for users with motor difficulties).

Our website uses Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) attributes along with various behavioral adaptations to enable users with screen readers to read, understand and use the website's features. When a user with a screen reader enters the website, they are prompted to activate a specific mode in order to navigate and use the website effectively.

Here are some of the key demands we support:

We use a process that analyzes website components from top to bottom to maintain compliance even as the site is updated. In the process, we provide screen readers with meaningful information via ARIA attributes. This can include correct labels for form fields, descriptions of clickable icons (social media, search, shopping cart, etc.), guidance on form validation, and roles for elements such as buttons, menus, and modal dialogs (pop-ups).

The process also scans website images and, if necessary, creates descriptive ALT (alternative text) texts using object recognition. It can also extract text embedded in the image using optical character recognition (OCR) technology.

To enable optimization for screen readers, users can press Alt + 1. Users with screen readers also receive automatic notifications to turn on optimization when they enter the site. The customizations are compatible with common screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver and TalkBack.

The process also adjusts the HTML of the website and adds functionality via JavaScript to make the website fully usable with keyboards. This includes, among other things:

Users who need keyboard navigation can also access a menu to skip past content (”skip to content”) or as the first element in keyboard navigation. If pop-ups are opened, the focus is automatically shifted to them, so that the focus does not fall outside the dialog.

Users can also use shortcuts such as:

We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of the website. We are aware that parts of the website may lack accessibility and may therefore be partially compliant with the Accessibility Act.

Non-organic components, such as embedded framework components and third-party plugins: The website may contain components from third-party providers, such as chat functions and cookie management. In some cases, these may not be fully accessible, which may affect the experience of users with disabilities. These components are managed by external providers and may in some cases be outside our direct control.

Links to PDF documents and other files: The website may lack some accessibility in terms of how users can access documents as they may lack sufficient information on format and access. In some of these documents, the content may also not yet be fully accessible.

We work continuously to identify problems and improve our accessibility.

We conduct regular accessibility tests using a tool and compile the results in reports.

We aim to support as many browsers and assistive technologies as possible so that users can choose the tools that suit them best, with as few restrictions as possible. That's why we've worked to support the major systems that together make up over 95 % of the market, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge. We also support screen readers such as JAWS and NVDA for both Windows and Mac users.

Despite our efforts, there may be pages or parts of the website that are not yet fully accessible, that are under improvement, or that lack an adequate technical solution. We are continuously improving accessibility by adding, updating and further developing features and by adopting new technologies as technology evolves.
