--- title: "Accessibility Statement" description: "Fohrkast's accessibility targets and limitations; targets WCAG 2.2 AA (which encompasses WCAG 2.1 AA) where practical, with reporting route for issues." canonical: "https://fohrkast.com/accessibility" group: "Legal" updated: "2026-07-02" --- # Accessibility Statement Fohrkast is committed to making fohrkast.com and customer-facing product pages usable by people with disabilities. This statement describes our accessibility goals, the measures we currently take, and how to report barriers you encounter. ## Commitment Fohrkast aims to make fohrkast.com and customer-facing product pages usable by people with disabilities and compatible with WCAG 2.2 AA (which encompasses WCAG 2.1 AA) where practical. This page provides general information about Fohrkast's own operations and is not legal advice. ## Current Accessibility Measures Fohrkast aims to implement the following practices during development and testing: - Semantic HTML to structure content meaningfully - Labelled form controls for clarity and assistive-technology compatibility - Visible focus states so keyboard navigation is apparent - Sufficient colour contrast in text and UI elements - Automated accessibility checks before production releases on core public flows This statement reflects our accessibility goals and efforts. It has not been independently verified by a formal conformance audit, and some content may not yet fully conform to WCAG 2.2 AA. Our commitment is aspirational and ongoing. ## Known Limitations As an automated check tool and consent widget provider, Fohrkast does not claim to fully resolve accessibility barriers on customer websites. Automated scanning detects some known accessibility patterns but cannot verify full WCAG conformance or substitute for manual testing and expert review. ## Reporting Accessibility Issues If you encounter a barrier on fohrkast.com or customer-facing product pages, please report it to us. We will investigate and work to address the problem. **To report an accessibility issue:** - Complete the DSAR and support request form - Include the following information: - Page URL where the barrier occurs - Browser and version - Any assistive technology you use (screen reader, voice control, etc.) - Description of the barrier or difficulty you encountered - Send to: support@fohrkast.com We aim to respond to accessibility reports and investigate reported barriers. ## Accessibility Standards and Scope Fohrkast uses WCAG 2.2 AA as our accessibility target, which encompasses WCAG 2.1 AA, the standard referenced by EN 301 549. We aim to apply accessibility testing and measures to core public flows. Other pages or features may not yet include these measures. Our accessibility efforts are ongoing. We regularly review our measures, seek feedback, and work to improve usability for all visitors. ## Effective Date This statement is effective as of 19 June 2026. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: Is Fohrkast's website fully accessible?** A: Fohrkast aims to make its website usable by people with disabilities and compatible with WCAG 2.2 AA where practical. However, this statement has not been independently verified, and some content may not yet fully conform. We are committed to ongoing improvement and welcome feedback on barriers you encounter. **Q: Does Fohrkast's scanning tool guarantee my website is accessible?** A: No. Fohrkast provides an automated readiness check for your website, not a legal certification of conformance. Automated scanning detects some accessibility patterns but cannot verify full WCAG conformance or substitute for manual testing by accessibility experts. You remain responsible for reviewing your own site and ensuring it meets applicable accessibility standards. **Q: What accessibility features does Fohrkast support?** A: Fohrkast aims to use semantic HTML, labelled form controls, visible focus states, and sufficient colour contrast. We run accessibility checks before production releases on core public flows. For specific accessibility needs or features, contact support@fohrkast.com. **Q: How do I report an accessibility problem?** A: Use the DSAR and support request form with details of the page, browser, assistive technology, and the barrier. This helps us investigate and improve the experience for all users. **Q: What is WCAG 2.2 AA?** A: WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) 2.2 AA is an international standard for web accessibility published by the W3C. It provides guidance on making web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including those using assistive technologies like screen readers and voice control. ## About Fohrkast Fohrkast is an EU-focused compliance and consent tool.
