1. Purpose

ΠΟΛΙΤΗΣ ΤΩΡΑ ΛΙΜΙΤΕΔ (POLITIS TORA LIMITED), together with its affiliated entities «(hereinafter the «Company»), is committed to making every reasonable effort to ensure that the services provided via its websites https://politis.com.cy and https://parathyro.politis.com.cy and https://gipedo.politis.com.cy (collectively referred to as the «Website») are accessible to individuals with disabilities. In this context, the Company has invested significant resources in enhancing the Website’s accessibility, aiming at the ongoing improvement of its functionality and usability.

Accessibility is not merely a technical specification, but a fundamental human right. The Company endorses the principle that equal access to the internet promotes dignity, equality, autonomy, and convenience for every individual, thereby contributing to the creation of an inclusive digital environment for all readers/visitors/users/members/subscribers (hereinafter the«Users») of the Website. Our goal is to deliver a barrier-free digital experience by incorporating international best practices.

The Company remains committed to the continuous improvement of the Website’s accessibility by conducting regular audits and implementing updates with the aim of timely resolution of accessibility issues and adaptation to evolving international standards and best practises.

2. Legal Framework

This Accessibility Statement has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Directive(EU) 219/882 and its transposition into national law through Cyprus Law (Ν. 57(I)/2024 on the accessibility of products and services

3. Accessibility Principles

The design and development of the Website are based on the four core principles of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines(WCAG):

  • Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presented to Users in ways they can perceive.
  • Operable: Interface components and navigation must be operable by all Users.
  • Understandable: Information and operation of the interface must be understandable to Users.
  • Robust: Content must be robust enough to be reliably interpreted by a wide range of Users and assistive technologies, including future technologies.

4. Implementation Measures

To support the above principles, the Company implements the following technical and functional accessibility features on the Website:

  • Alternative text for images and interactive elements
  • High-contrast colour options and the ability to increase text size
  • Full keyboard operability and predictable navigation patterns
  • Visible focus indicators and skip-to-content options
  • Clear instructions, headings, and error messages
  • Use of semantic HTML5 and ARIA attributes to ensure compatibility with screen readers
  • Regular accessibility audits using tools such as Skynet Technologies.

5. Accessibility Menu Activation and Compatibility

The accessibility menu on the Website can be activated by clicking the relevant icon displayed on the Website’s homepage.

The Website is optimised to be compatible with the latest versions of all major web browsers and widely used assistive technologies. The use of outdated browsers or non-standard technologies may reduce the level of accessibility or functionality available to Users.

6. Monitoring and Improvement Process

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. The Company:

  • Conducts regular accessibility audits using both automated tools and manual testing procedures
  • Integrates accessibility considerations at every stage of design, development, and content updates
  • Provides continuous training for staff on best practices in digital accessibility and obligations arising from applicable law
  • Has appointed a dedicated contact point and specialist team responsible for the timely and effective handling of accessibility-related feedback, requests, and complaints.

7. Limitations and Alternative Solutions

Despite the Company’s best efforts to ensure full compliance, certain content may not yet fully meet the highest accessibility standards. In such cases, alternative formats may be made available upon request by the User.
