Accessibility Statement

Compliance Status

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

To that end, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1). These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities. Following these guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind, people with mobility impairments, visually impaired, cognitively impaired, and more.

This website uses various technologies that are intended to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We use an accessibility interface that allows people with specific disabilities to adjust the website's user interface (UI) and design it according to their personal needs.

In addition, the site uses an AI-based application that works in the background and constantly optimizes its level of accessibility. This application corrects the HTML of the site, adapts its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by blind users, and for keyboard functions used by people with mobility impairments.

Screen-readers and keyboard navigation

Our website implements the Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) attribute technique, as well as several behavioral changes, to ensure that blind users who visit the site via a screen-reader are able to read, understand, and fully enjoy the website's features. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters the site, he or she immediately receives a prompt to activate the

Screen-Reader so they can navigate and manage the site effectively. Here's how our website covers some of the most important requirements for screen-readers:

1. Optimization for Screen-readers: We run a background process that learns the website components from top to bottom to ensure continuous compliance even while updating. During this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA attribute set. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions of actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; roles of elements such as buttons, menus, modal dialogs (popups), and other such elements.

In addition, for images that are not described, the background scanning process analyzes all images on the site and provides an accurate and meaningful ALT (alternative text) tag description based on an object/image recognition method. It also extracts text embedded in the image, using optical character recognition (OCR) technology. To activate adjustments for screen-reader at any time, users just need to press the keyboard combination 'Alt + 1'. Screen-reader users also get automatic notifications to activate the screen-reader mode as soon as they enter the site.

These adjustments are compatible with all the most commonly used screen-readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

2. Keyboard Navigation Optimizations: The background process also modifies and adjusts the HTML of the site, adding various behaviors via Javascript code to make the website operable via the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift + Tab keys, operate dropdowns using the arrow keys, close them with Esc, use trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, switch between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them with the spacebar or Enter key.

In addition, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first item on the site when navigating with the keyboard. The process in the

background also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus to them as soon as they appear, without allowing drift focus outside of it.

Users can also use shortcuts such as "M" (menus), "H" (headers), "F" (shapes), "B" (buttons), and "G" (graphics) to get to specific elements.

Disability profiles supported on our site

• Profile for Epileptics: This profile allows people with epilepsy to use the website safely, eliminating the risk of episodes resulting from flashing animations and risky color combinations.
• Profile for theVisually Impaired: This profile adjusts the website so that it is accessible to most visual impairments such as impaired vision, peripheral vision problems, cataracts, glaucoma, and others.
• Profile forCognitive Disabilities: This profile provides various assistive features to help users with cognitive disabilities such as autism, dyslexia, CVA, and others, focus on the most important items in a more fluid and accessible manner.
• Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD) Profile: This profile significantly reduces distractions and noise to help people with ADHD and neurodevelopmental disorders browse, read, and focus on essential items more easily.
• Profile for the visually impaired (Screen-reader): this profile adjusts the website to be compatible with screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, Voiceover and Talkback. A screen reader is always installed on the computer of a blind user, and this site is compatible with it.
• Keyboard Navigation Profile (Mobility Imp aired): This profile allows people with mobility impairments to manage the website using the keyboard with Tab, Shift+Tab and Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as "M" (menus), "H" (headings), "F" (shapes), "B" (buttons), and "G" (graphics) to get to specific elements.

Additional user interface, design, and easier reading adjustments

1. Font adjustment - users can increase and decrease font size, change font type, adjust spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
2. Color adjustment - users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted and monochrome. In addition, users can swap title, text and background color combinations, with over 7 different coloring options.
3. Animations - Users suffering from epilepsy can stop all running animations with a single click. Interface-controlled animations include video, GIFs, and flashing CSS transitions.
4. Content Emphasis - users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight only focused or suspended elements.
5. Audio muting - users with hearing aids may suffer from headaches or other problems due to the automatic playback of audio. This option allows users to instantly mute the entire audio of the site.
6. CognitiveDisorders - We use a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to search for the meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others, to more directly understand text.
7. Other features - we give users the ability to change the color and size of the cursor, use a print mode, activate a virtual keyboard, and many other features.

Assistive technology and browser compatibility

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

Notes, comments, and feedback

Despite our efforts to allow anyone to adapt the site to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or lack an appropriate technological solution to make them accessible. We continually strive to improve our accessibility by adding, updating, and improving its options and features, and by developing and adopting new technologies. All of this is done to achieve the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advances.
