Compliance Status

We strongly believe that the Internet should be available and accessible to everyone, and we are committed to providing a website accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of their circumstances and abilities.

To achieve this, we aim to adhere as closely as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at level AA. These guidelines explain how to make Web content accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities. Complying with these guidelines helps us to ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor, visual and cognitive impairments, among others.

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

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

If you have detected any bugs or have ideas for improvement, we would be happy to hear from you. Please contact digital@covap.es.

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

Our website uses the ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attribute technique, along with various behavioral changes, to ensure that blind users visiting us with screen readers can read, understand and enjoy the website's features. As soon as a user with a screen reader enters your website, they are immediately prompted to enter their screen reader profile, so can navigate and use your website effectively. Here's how our website covers some of the most important screen reader requirements, along with console screenshots of code samples:

1. Optimization for screen readers: we run a background process that learns the website components from top to bottom, to ensure continuous compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen readers with meaningful data using the ARIA attribute set. For example, we provide accurate labels for forms; descriptions of actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form entries; functions of elements such as buttons, menus, modal dialogs (pop-up windows) and others. In addition, the background process scans all images on the website and provides an accurate and meaningful description based on object recognition as ALT tag (alternative text) for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded in the image, using an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology. To activate the screen reader settings at any time, users simply press the keyboard combination Alt+1. Screen reader users also receive automatic announcements to activate the screen reader mode as soon as they enter the website.

   These settings are compatible with all common screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

2. Optimizing keyboard navigation: The background process also adjusts the HTML of the website and adds several behaviors via JavaScript code so that the website can be operated with the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website with the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate drop-downs with the keyboard arrows, close them with Esc, activate buttons and links with the Enter key, navigate between radio items and checkboxes with the keyboard arrows, and fill them with the spacebar or Enter key.In addition, keyboard users will find quick navigation and skip content menus, available at any time by pressing Alt+1, or as first items on the site by navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles activated pop-up windows by moving keyboard focus to them as soon as they appear, and not allowing focus to stray away from it.

   Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), ‘B’ (buttons) and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific items.

Disability profiles on our website

• Epilepsy Safe Mode:this profile allows people with epilepsy to use the website safely, eliminating the risk of seizures caused by flashing or flickering animations and risky color schemes.
• Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Vision Degradation, Tunnel Vision, Cataracts, Glaucoma and others.
• Cognitive Impairment Mode: this mode offers different assistance options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA and others to focus more easily on the essential elements of the website.
• ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and neurodevelopmental disorders to read, navigate and focus on the main elements of the website more easily, while significantly reducing distractions.
Blind Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver and TalkBack. A screen reader is software for blind users that is installed on computers and smartphones, and websites must be compatible with it.
• Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor Disabled): this profile allows people with motor disabilities to operate the website using the keyboard's tab key, Shift+Tab and Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), ‘B’ (buttons) and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Additional user interface, layout and readability settings

1. Font settings - users, can increase and decrease their size, change their family (type), adjust spacing, alignment, line height, etc.
2. Color settings - users can select various color contrast profiles, such as light, dark, inverted and monochrome. In addition, users can swap color schemes of titles, text and backgrounds, with more than 7 different coloring options.
3. Animations - Epileptic users can stop all running animations with the push of a button. Interface-controlled animations include videos, GIFs and CSS flashing transitions.
4. Highlighted Content - Users can choose to highlight important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight only focused or hovered items.
5. Audio Muting - users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other problems due to automatic audio playback. This option allows you to mute the entire website instantly.
6. Cognitive Disorders - we use a search engine linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, which allows people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang and others.
7. Additional features - we offer users the option to change the color and size of the cursor, use a print mode, activate a virtual keyboard and many other features.

Browser and assistive technology support

Our goal is to offer support for as many browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so that our users can choose the tools that best suit their needs, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support the major systems that comprise more than 95% of the user market share, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), for both Windows and MAC users.

Notes, comments and feedback

Although we do our best to allow anyone to adapt the website 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 adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Even so, we are continuously improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this in order to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advances. If you need assistance, please contact digital@covap.es.
