Creation of this Accessibility Statement

This statement was created on June 25, 2025.

The digital accessibility evaluation is based on a self-assessment. As part of this assessment, the webshop was systematically compared to the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, particularly in the conformance levels A and AA.

To support the technical analysis, the Cypress plugin "wick-a11y" was used. This tool automatically checks conformance to WCAG 2.0 A and AA, WCAG 2.1 A and AA, and selected best-practice recommendations. The test results were incorporated into the evaluation and serve as the basis for further optimization measures.
