Accessibility Statement
1. Our Commitment and Target
Cookrange aims to make the cookrangeapp.com website and mobile app accessible to as wide a range of users as possible. Our target is conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. This target informs our design decisions from the start — color contrast, keyboard navigation, visible focus indicators, and support for prefers-reduced-motion.
2. Current Status (Honest Summary)
During development, automated accessibility checks (axe-core) and a Lighthouse accessibility score are part of our CI/CD pipeline (see docs/ARCHITECTURE.md); this is not a substitute for a full manual audit.
3. European Accessibility Act (EAA) Context
Since the European Union is one of Cookrange's secondary target markets, we take into account Directive (EU) 2019/882, the European Accessibility Act ("EAA"), and the national legislation that transposes it in each member state. The exact scope of the EAA's application to Cookrange (including any "micro-enterprise" exemptions that may apply at this early stage) will be confirmed during legal review as the company's size and EU commercial activity become clearer.
4. Known Limitations
- The homepage's cinematic, scroll-triggered 3D narrative is designed to fall back to a simplified, static version under
prefers-reduced-motion; that simplified version has not yet been accessibility-tested. - Some site content (e.g. blog, glossary) does not yet exist, so its accessibility is outside the scope of this statement; it will be included in the audit once published.
- The accessibility of the mobile app (iOS/Android) is a separate platform and is outside the scope of this web statement.
5. Feedback and Contact
If you encounter an accessibility barrier on this site, please let us know:contact@cookrangeapp.com. Mentioning the page you were on and the device/browser/assistive technology you were using (if any) helps us fix the issue. We aim to respond within a reasonable time.
6. How This Statement Was Prepared
This statement was prepared through self-assessment during the site's design/development phase; it is not based on an independent third-party audit. The methodology section will be updated once the Phase 8 audit is complete. For general contact, see our Contact page.
