ALIA - Accessibility

Accessibility

This page is not a help page.
It aims to present our accessibility policy and define the general accessibility level observed on the website, in accordance with the applicable protocols and regulations.

What is digital accessibility?

Digital accessibility is a set of standards and best practices covering functional, graphic, technical and editorial aspects.

Digital media (websites, mobile applications, PDF files, etc.) must adhere to particular standards and best practices in order to be accessible by people with disabilities.

For example, an accessible website allows users to:

Customize its display via the operating system and/or browser (enlarge or shrink characters, change typography, modify colors, turn off animations, etc.).
Browse using assistive technologies such as text-to-speech or Braille.
Navigate without having to use a mouse, just a keyboard, switches or a touchscreen.
Watch videos and audio content with subtitles and/or transcriptions.
And more.

The « Autorité luxembourgeoise indépendante de l’audiovisuel », hereafter referred to as « ALIA », is committed to make its website accessible in accordance with the law of May 28, 2019 (in French) on the accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies.
