Accessibility statement
Last updated
We want this site to be usable by everyone, including people using screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification or reduced-motion settings.
Our target
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA.
What we have done
- Semantic HTML — real headings in order, real lists, real tables with row and column headers, and landmark regions.
- A skip link to the main content as the first focusable element on every page.
- Visible focus indicators on every interactive element, and full keyboard operability. No keyboard traps.
- Text and interface colours checked for contrast in both light and dark colour schemes.
- Text that reflows to a single column without horizontal scrolling down to 320 px. Wide tables scroll within their own container rather than forcing the page sideways.
- Touch targets of at least 44 px.
- Decorative illustrations hidden from assistive technology; informative images given text alternatives.
prefers-reduced-motionrespected — animation and smooth scrolling are disabled when you ask for that.- The cookie notice is a bar at the bottom of the page rather than an overlay, so it never blocks the content you came for.
- The site works without JavaScript; every link and every page is readable with scripting disabled.
Known limitations
- Comparison tables are wide by nature. They scroll horizontally within their container on small screens; the same information is repeated in the individual product sections below in a linear format.
- Once you follow a link to a retailer, you are on their site and their accessibility applies, not ours.
Tell us when we get it wrong
If any part of this site is difficult or impossible for you to use, please email [email protected] with the page address and what went wrong. We treat accessibility reports as bugs and aim to respond within five business days.
