Accessibility Statement

Declaration of Accessibility Introduction

The Internet constitutes the largest resource supporting freedom of information today for the user community in general and for users with disabilities in particular. For that reason, we place emphasis on granting equal service to people with disabilities who use information displayed on the website, and on improving their browsing experience. We seek to ensure that our digital services will be accessible to people with disabilities, and accordingly, we have invested in the website’s ease of use for people with disabilities, and continue to improve our web pages as needed.

Using the EqualWeb website accessibility tool

This website employs the Nagich By Click accessibility software and is connected through a special accessibility server. The software complies with Israeli standard SI 5568 at the AA level.

Clarification

Despite our efforts to apply accessibility to browsing on every webpage, it may be discovered that some of the webpages have not yet received accessibility or are not suitable for any available accessibility solution. 

We are continuing the effort to improve the website’s accessibility to the full extent possible, guided by our belief, and by our moral commitment, that the website should be usable by the entire population, including people with disabilities. 

Measures to support accessibility

• Include accessibility as part of our technology mission.
• Include accessibility throughout our website-related internal policies.

It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. “Fully conforms” means that the content meets all of the WCAG requirements at the specified Level without exceptions. We strive to be/remain fully compliant with an annual review of our website.
