This accessibility statement applies to the Nixon European Union ecommerce website, including all country-specific storefronts served from this platform (including but not limited to France, Denmark, Germany, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, and Sweden). It covers the full digital experience: homepage, navigation, product pages, search, cart, checkout, and customer support channels.
Nixon is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities and is actively working to improve the accessibility of this website in accordance with applicable European standards.
Conformance Status
This website is partially conformant with accessibility requirements based on:
- EN 301 549 – the harmonised European standard for accessibility of ICT products and services
- WCAG 2.1 Level AA – the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines incorporated within EN 301 549
- National transpositions of EU Directive 2019/882 (the European Accessibility Act), as applicable in each EU member state
“Partially conformant” means that some parts of the website do not yet fully meet the above standards. Known limitations are described below.
Accessibility Tool
This website uses accessiBe, an automated accessibility assistance tool, which can be activated by clicking the “Accessibility” link in the footer menu. accessiBe provides an interface that allows users to adjust visual and functional settings, including font size, colour contrast, cursor size, and reading guides.
Please note: While accessiBe improves the experience for many users, automated overlay tools cannot address all WCAG 2.1 AA or EN 301 549 requirements on their own. The use of this tool does not constitute full compliance with applicable accessibility standards. Nixon is committed to addressing underlying accessibility issues through ongoing manual remediation work in parallel with the use of this assistive tool.
Known Limitations
Despite ongoing efforts, the following accessibility limitations are currently known:
| Area | Description | Planned Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| Autoplay videos | Some homepage and hero videos autoplay without full pause or stop controls, and do not currently respond to the prefers-reduced-motion user preference |
Adding visible player controls and reduced-motion support |
| Text alternatives | A small number of images and video previews may lack descriptive alternative text, or may be marked as decorative when they convey meaningful content | Ongoing audit and update of all image alt attributes |
| Heading structure | Some pages contain an inconsistent or skipped heading hierarchy, which may complicate navigation for screen reader users | Semantic structure review and correction across all page templates |
| Accessible names and labels | Certain navigation regions, interactive elements, and links may lack sufficiently descriptive ARIA labels or accessible names | Progressive addition of ARIA attributes across components |
| Colour contrast | Text placed over image or video backgrounds may not consistently meet the minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio required under WCAG 1.4.3 | Contrast audit and remediation for all text-over-media instances |
Preparation of This Statement
This statement was prepared based on an internal review combining automated checks and manual testing, including keyboard navigation, semantic structure, label and alternative text verification. Nixon’s conformance objective is aligned to EN 301 549 and WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
