Accessibility Statement

The accessibility measures described in this statement are voluntary. This website is intended exclusively for business customers and is not used to conclude consumer contracts. It therefore falls outside the scope of the German Accessibility Strengthening Act (Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz, BFSG). There is no obligation to publish this statement under the BFSG for this website. We publish it to provide transparency about our efforts to make the website as accessible as possible.

cycos recognizes the importance of making information, services, and job opportunities accessible to all. We work continuously to make our website accessible to as wide an audience as possible and to improve its usability with assistive technologies.

Scope

This accessibility statement applies to the website www.cycos.com.

Statement Status and Timeline

Our Policy & Standards Compliance

Many internet users with disabilities find websites difficult or even impossible to use because of the way they are designed. We have therefore designed our website to be as accessible as possible and compatible with adaptive and assistive technologies used by people with disabilities, including screen readers and screen magnifiers.

cycos voluntarily uses recognized digital accessibility standards as a guide when designing and improving this website. These include, in particular, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 and the requirements of the German Barrier-free Information Technology Ordinance (BITV 2.0).

We endeavor to ensure that all pages on this website comply with the accessibility guidelines and general principles of accessible design laid down by the WAI (Web Accessibility Initiative) Working Group of the W3C.

To this end, we conduct regular audits, updates and training sessions, propagating accessible practices and solutions amongst our teams.

In particular, this website has undergone an independent accessibility audit. The conformance status is documented below.

Current Status

This website partially conforms to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Non-conformances are listed in the section below.

Non-accessible content

For the utmost transparency, we outline some of the remaining potential problems that we are working to improve:

  1. Documents up to and including 2025 on our Investor Relations pages are not yet fully accessible. We have adjusted our processes to ensure that future documents are created in an accessible format.
  2. The clear button in the search field (a Chromium browser feature) is not keyboard accessible. The search field can always be cleared by pressing the Esc key.
  3. Icons in definition lists are intentionally hidden from assistive technologies to avoid confusion, as screen readers would otherwise not announce them meaningfully.
  4. The label of the file upload button in the feedback form is not announced correctly by screen readers in Chromium-based browsers.
