NON-ACCESSIBLE CONTENT
The contents listed below are not accessible for the following reasons.
Non-compliance
Several elements of non-compliance are described in this document, some of which are recurrent on several pages:
- Some decorative images are incorrectly provided with text alternatives, which may create confusion for screen reader users.
- Some videos do not provide transcripts, limiting access for users who rely on text alternatives or translation tools.
- The HTML structure is not always semantically appropriate, which may affect how assistive technologies interpret content.
- Keyboard navigation does not always follow a logical tab order, which can make navigation difficult without a mouse.
- When viewed in horizontal (landscape) orientation, the layout of the page “News_DigitalSol” may become distorted.
- Some form fields do not include appropriate autocomplete attributes, which may impact usability.
- Videos do not include controls to manage audio playback, which may affect user control over multimedia content.
- Some text does not meet the minimum contrast ratio (4.5:1), which may reduce readability.
- When the page is zoomed to 200%, some content may be lost or not displayed correctly, particularly on the page “News_DigitalSol”.
- Some user interface components (e.g. buttons) do not meet the minimum contrast ratio (3:1).
- Some content and functionalities are not accessible using keyboard navigation alone.
- In some cases, keyboard focus may become trapped within interactive components (e.g. sliders), preventing users from navigating away (notably on “News_DigitalTrans”).
- Some interactive components (such as sliders) are not fully operable via keyboard.
- The website does not always provide multiple ways to locate content, which may limit navigation options.
- Focus indicators are not always visible or available, making it difficult for keyboard users to identify their position on the page.
- Some interactive elements have a target size smaller than the recommended minimum (24x24 pixels), which may make them difficult to use, especially on touch devices.
- Some form fields do not provide clear error suggestions, making it difficult for users to correct input errors (e.g. email field).
- The search functionality does not retain previous queries, which may affect usability.
- Some components are not implemented using appropriate HTML elements or accessible names, and some videos do not provide translatable titles, which may impact accessibility for assistive technologies.
