Accessibility

As the operator of cookcorner.art, we are committed to making our website accessible to everyone - including people with disabilities. This accessibility statement provides information about the current state of accessibility of our website, the measures implemented and any existing restrictions.

Status of compatibility with the requirements

Our website largely meets the accessibility requirements of EU Directive 2016/2102 and the international guidelines of WCAG 2.1 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).

The following key criteria were successfully implemented:

  • Correct use of ARIA attributes
  • Accessible and nameable navigation elements
  • clearly structured headings
  • Alt texts for images
  • Full keyboard operability
  • Sufficient link identification
  • Contrasts according to WCAG 2.1 - with a few stylistic exceptions

Areas with limited accessibility

Despite comprehensive technical implementation, there may be barriers in individual cases. This is currently the case in particular:

  • Color contrasts: Individual design elements do not always achieve the recommended minimum contrast ratio according to WCAG 2.1 criterion 1.4.3 ("Contrast - Minimum").

Accessibility functions implemented

The following measures were implemented to improve accessibility:

  • ARIA compatibility: All aria-*-attributes correspond to the respective roles and are set correctly.
  • Screen reader compatibility: Interactive elements have accessible names and semantic roles.
  • Alternative texts: All relevant images contain meaningful alt-attributes without redundant text.
  • Keyboard operation: All core functions can be used entirely via the keyboard.
  • Responsive design: The website supports different screen sizes, zoom and touch inputs.
  • Technical cleanliness: None user-scalable="no"valid maximum-scale-values, no tabindex over 0.
  • HTML structure: Correct heading hierarchy, semantically clean lists, no invalid ARIA roles or values.

Feedback and contact

If you encounter any barriers or have any suggestions for improving accessibility, we look forward to your feedback. Your comments will help us to further optimize the website.
