Further information

In addition, the website uses an AI-based application that runs in the background and constantly optimises the level of accessibility. This application corrects the website's HTML code and adapts its functionality and behaviour to the screen readers used by blind users and to the keyboard functions used by people with motor impairments.

The following restrictions are supported on our website:

Epilepsy mode: This profile allows people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures caused by flashing or flashing animations and risky colour combinations.

Mode for the visually impaired: This mode adapts the website to the needs of users with visual impairments, such as failing eyesight, tunnel vision, cataracts, glaucoma and others.

Mode for cognitive impairments: Various assistance options are offered here to help users with cognitive impairments such as dyslexia, autism, CVA and others to concentrate more easily on the essential elements of the website.

ADHD-friendly modeThis mode helps users with ADHD and neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse and focus on the most important elements of the website more easily, while significantly reducing distractions.

Blind-friendly mode: This configures the website so that it is compatible with screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver and TalkBack. A screen reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and a smartphone. Our website uses the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) and various behavioural changes to ensure that blind users can use the functions of the website.

 Keyboard navigation profile (motorised disabled): This profile enables people with motor disabilities to operate the website using the Tab, Shift + Tab and Enter keys. Users can also use keyboard shortcuts such as "M" (menus), "H" (headings), "F" (forms), "B" (buttons) and "G" (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
