Accessibility

This statement concerns www.kitchenpause.com and its Spanish, English, French, Italian, German and Portuguese editions. It is not an evaluation of the mobile app, Admads, emails, linked sites or downloadable documents. Not evaluating a service does not exempt it from applicable obligations.

Browser checks focused on Spanish: home, the desserts category, a “pasta” search, a salteña empanada recipe, the Harina de trigo profile, an article about winter fruit, contact, registration and sign-in, and access to the visual pasta atlas. HTTP checks cover the six statement translations; Spanish interaction results are not extended to other languages.

WCAG 2.2 provides a technical reference for structure, keyboard, focus and reflow. No A, AA or AAA level or “partially conformant” status has been established. This is not an assessment of applicable law.

• Read the legal notice

The sample exposed headings, page language, control names and images named for the dish or ingredient. “Skip to main content” moves focus to the main area.

We checked keyboard menu opening and traversal, Escape closing with focus returned to the trigger, filter opening, search with Enter, and switching between Step by step and Cooking mode. Recipe steps remain available as text.

• Submitting an empty contact form displays the browser’s required-field message and focuses the name field without sending a request.
• At a simulated 320 px width, header overflow was corrected and registration and mobile navigation reviewed. The statement is also checked at 390 px and desktop width.
• Application tests check status or alert regions for form feedback; this does not prove screen-reader announcements.
• The theme selector switches between light and dark. Contrast has not been measured across every colour and state.

Verified corrections are separate from remaining barriers. Unevaluated areas are described below, not treated as free of problems.

Recipes and articles provide text, images and references. Sample images of empanadas, flour and fruit had descriptive names; this does not establish that every catalogue image has a useful alternative. Ingredients and steps remain a textual alternative to cooking mode.

The visual pasta atlas has a 3D canvas with keyboard instructions and a link to open it separately. Its complete nonvisual experience, all states and the spice universe have not been evaluated; internal content is not guaranteed in all six languages. Ask for the specific information in a usable format.

Contact embeds Google Maps alongside the written address and an external map link. ALTCHA protects the form. Neither component has been tested end to end with assistive technology; third-party origin is not an automatic exemption.

No video or audio player, embedded advertisement, payment gateway or PDF was observed in the sample. These were not evaluated; this does not assert their absence everywhere else. The new cookie panel uses native controls; it has not been audited with screen readers.

• Ask for help or an alternative

Checks took place on 21 October 2026 in the Codex in-app browser on Windows, using browser controls, DOM observations and screenshots. The browser version number was not recorded. Keyboard and control activation were checked at desktop and simulated 390 and 320 px widths, not on physical mobile devices.

PHPUnit and Node application tests check responses, validation, states, newsletter confirmation and unsubscribe, and account registration and verification with test data and simulated email. No real emails or enquiries were sent for this review. These tests are not a WCAG conformance scanner.

NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack, braille displays, voice control and disabled-user testing were not used. Exhaustive contrast, text enlargement, browser zoom, all tables and modal states remain unevaluated. Welcome-dialog opening and closing logic is tested, not its complete assistive-technology journey.

Choose “Technical issue” in Contact and mention accessibility. If the form, JavaScript or ALTCHA prevents you from writing, you can send a postal request to the publisher:

No dedicated accessibility email, telephone or service hours have been verified for publication. You do not need to provide a diagnosis, prove a disability or disclose health information. Screenshots and attachments are not required.

• The URL, the task you attempted and what happened.
• The alternative or format that would help.
• Device, browser or assistive technology, if known and you wish to share it.
• A response method you can use.

• Open the contact form
• Identify the publisher

Form messages enter the Admads contact inbox. Authorised staff can mark them new, in progress, resolved or archived. A receipt confirmation does not mean a barrier is resolved.

No response deadline or immediate conversion to any format is guaranteed. Individual assistance does not replace fixing barriers. Field-error associations, assistive-technology evaluation and complete contrast, enlargement, multimedia and embed checks remain pending, without unagreed deadlines.

We will update the statement after verified checks or corrections. We do not claim periodic audits, certificates or public-body complaints procedures. This information does not restrict rights or remedies that may apply.
