Accessibility Statement for DeadSea.com

  • Last updated : May 14, 2026

Our Commitment

DeadSea.com is committed to making our website accessible to the widest possible audience, including people with disabilities. We work to ensure that our content meets recognized accessibility standards and that all visitors can find, understand, and use the information we publish.

Conformance Status

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments.

DeadSea.com is currently partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. “Partially conformant” means that some parts of the content do not yet fully meet the standard. We are actively working to identify and remediate these areas.

Ownership and Audience

DeadSea.com is operated by an Israeli company. While this website is provided in English and is directed primarily at audiences outside Israel, we apply accessibility best practices consistent with internationally recognized standards, including WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

Measures We Take to Support Accessibility

To support accessibility on DeadSea.com, we have taken the following measures:

  • Included accessibility considerations in our content planning, design, and editorial workflow.
  • Deployed the OneTap accessibility toolbar to give visitors on-page controls for font size, line height, letter spacing, contrast, readable fonts, link highlighting, animation control, and other reading and navigation aids.
  • Used semantic HTML, descriptive headings, and structured content to support assistive technologies such as screen readers.
  • Provide alternative text for informative images where feasible.
  • Review accessibility considerations as part of our ongoing content updates and site maintenance.

Note: The OneTap accessibility toolbar is a supplementary aid. It improves the browsing experience for many visitors but is not a substitute for the underlying accessibility of the site, and we do not rely on it alone for compliance.

Compatibility with Browsers and Assistive Technology

DeadSea.com is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies and modern browsers:

  • Recent versions of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Apple Safari on desktop and mobile.
  • Common screen readers, including NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver (macOS and iOS), and TalkBack (Android).
  • Keyboard-only navigation.

The site may not function as intended in browsers more than two major versions out of date or in unsupported assistive technology configurations.

Known Limitations

Despite our efforts, some content on DeadSea.com may not yet be fully accessible. Known limitations include:

  • Older articles published before our current accessibility standards were adopted may contain images without descriptive alternative text or other accessibility gaps. We address these as part of our ongoing content review.
  • Some third-party content, embeds, or widgets (for example, embedded videos, social media feeds, or third-party scripts) may not fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA. We work with vendors where possible and look for accessible alternatives.
  • PDF documents and other downloadable assets published in the past may not be fully tagged for accessibility.

If you encounter any of these issues, please contact us using the details below and we will do our best to provide the information you need in an accessible format.
