Content That Is Not Accessible

We have identified the following accessibility issues on our website:

Language attributes: HTML elements lack language attributes, which can cause issues for screen readers.
Images: Most images lack alt text, making them difficult to interpret for screen reader users.
Contrast errors: There are color contrast issues on several pages, which may make content hard to read for users with visual impairments.
Link descriptions: Several links lack clear and unique descriptions, which can create confusion for screen reader users.
Search and autocomplete functions: Focus and tab order are not working optimally, affecting keyboard navigation.
Icon-based links: Some links are represented only by icons without alt text, making it difficult for users to understand their function.
Navigation issues: Navigation uses pseudo-elements that are not accessible via keyboard, preventing users from efficiently navigating to subpages.
Focus indicators: Focus indicators are not always sufficiently visible, making it hard to follow where you are on the page.
Third-party integrations: The website uses third-party APIs, such as Google Maps, where we cannot guarantee full accessibility.

Disproportionate Burden

We have identified certain areas of our website where full accessibility has not yet been achieved. We are continuously working to improve these areas and aim to meet all accessibility goals as soon as we have sufficient resources. We invoke the exception for disproportionate burden in accordance with Section 12 of the Swedish law on accessibility to digital public services.

We will update this statement as progress is made.

Website Review

An accessibility review of the website was conducted by In The Cold AB on December 22, 2023. The aXe tool was used, and both manual and automated tests were performed by WCAG-certified developers to identify accessibility issues.

Updates

This accessibility statement was last updated on September 10, 2024. We continue to improve our website and will update the statement as we make progress toward full accessibility.
