Accessibility Statement

What Web Accessibility Is

An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse with the same or a similar level of ease, independence, and enjoyment as other visitors. This is achieved through the capabilities built into our web platform and compatibility with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard navigation.

​

Accessibility Adjustments on This Site

We continuously work to adapt this website in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1 Level AA). To support this goal, our site content and structure have been designed to work with assistive technologies. As part of this effort, we aim to ensure:

• Language Settings: The primary language of the site is correctly defined for screen readers.

• Logical Navigation & Structure: Clear heading hierarchy (h1, h2, h3) and meaningful visual/reading order on all pages.

• Media & Visual Adjustments:

  • Alternative text (alt text) added to informative images.

  • Color combinations selected to meet standard visual contrast ratios.

  • Minimized use of distracting animations or auto-playing motion.

• Keyboard & Screen Reader Compatibility: Content structured for straightforward navigation using keyboards and assistive tools.

 

Declaration of Partial Compliance (Third-Party Content)

The accessibility of certain features or embedded media on our site may depend on third-party services and software (such as embedded forms, external portals, or integrated video platforms). While we strive to ensure all external integrations are as accessible as possible, we declare partial compliance for pages relying on third-party tools outside our direct control.
