Accessibility Statement

This is an accessibility statement from the website creator. We are working to make this site accessible to people with disabilities. This statement was last updated on March 16, 2026.

What web accessibility is

An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.

Accessibility adjustments on this site

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. We are continuously working to make this website conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. This site's contents have been adapted to work with assistive technologies, such as screen readers. As part of this effort, we have:

  • Set the site's language

  • Used the Accessibility Wizard to find and fix potential accessibility issues

  • Set the content order of the site’s pages

  • Defined clear heading structures on all of the site’s pages

  • Added alternative text to images

  • Implemented color combinations that meet the required color contrast

  • Reduced the use of motion on the site

  • Ensured all videos and files on the site are accessible

Declaration of partial compliance with the standard due to third-party content

The accessibility of certain pages on the site depend on contents that do not belong to the website owner/organization, and instead belong to the organizations whose resources and websites to which we provide links. The following pages may be affected by this:

 

We therefore declare partial compliance with the standard for these pages. Partial conformance means that some parts of the content may not fully conform to the accessibility standard. Please contact us if you observe an issue with a webpage not listed above.
