1. ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

Brands of Scandinavia endeavours to ensure that its digital services are accessible to all users, regardless of disability. Digital accessibility is not just a goal we want to achieve, but an ongoing commitment that we integrate into all aspects of our digital service delivery. We recognise that this requires continuous monitoring, improvement and adaptation. In the following sections, we elaborate on the actions we have taken to ensure digital accessibility for all

 

2. OUR ACCESSIBILITY INITIATIVES

An important part of our accessibility initiatives is our collaboration with the external accessibility consultant UserWay to bring the website in line with current standards. We use industry-approved accessibility methods and tools in accordance with the relevant version of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) as set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the internet's primary international standards organisation.

As part of our strong commitment to improving and addressing web accessibility challenges, we employ developers with expertise in digital accessibility. Our approach to accessibility includes both manual accessibility audits and automated scans.

 

3. USERWAY WEBSITE ACCESSIBILITY WIDGET

freequent.dk-.de-.com & cphmuse.dk-.de-.com offers the UserWay Website Accessibility Widget, which is powered by a dedicated accessibility server.

The widget allows users to enable features that improve website accessibility. These features can include increasing font size, stopping animations, changing colour contrast and much more. Users can choose combinations to suit their needs, in accordance with WCAG Level AAA.

 

4. AUTOMATED REMEDIATION TECHNOLOGY (ART)

The website has activated Automated Remediation Technology (ART). ART is a technology that automatically improves a website's accessibility for all users - whether they use assistive technology or not. It works by customising the website to make it easier to use for people with disabilities. However, ART does not detect if a user uses assistive technologies (such as screen readers or special keyboards). Instead, it provides general accessibility improvements that benefit all visitors.

 Examples of these improvements include: 

• Alternative text for images and non-textual elements so that screen readers can describe them to visually impaired users. Keyboard navigation is improved with aids such as focus highlighting and shortcut buttons.
• Improved keyboard navigation to make it easier for people who don't use a mouse to navigate via the keyboard, including focus highlighting and shortcut buttons.

5. DATA PROTECTION AND GDPR

Brands of Scandinavia protects user privacy and complies with applicable data protection legislation, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). As part of our accessibility efforts, we utilise the UserWay Website Accessibility Widget, which helps improve the accessibility of our website.
