Accessibility statement
Last updated on October 18, 2026.
We want everyone, including people with disabilities, to be able to use our website, The Same Taste (אותו הטעם), and its digital book equally, independently and comfortably. We follow Israel's Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities Law, 5758-1998, and the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities (Service Accessibility Adjustments) Regulations, 5773-2013.
Accessibility level
The website and the digital book were made accessible according to Israeli Standard IS 5568, "Web Content Accessibility Guidelines", at level AA. The standard is based on the international Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 of the W3C.
What this statement covers
The whole of the-sametaste.com: the home page, the purchase flow, the digital book that opens from the personal link sent after purchase, and the legal pages.
What we have done
- Clear structure: headings in order, marked regions and proper lists, so screen readers understand how each page is built. A "skip to purchase" link sits at the top of the home page.
- Full keyboard use: every link, button, window, the purchase form and cooking mode work with a keyboard, with a clear highlight on the element in focus. Windows close with the Esc key, and in cooking mode the arrow keys move between the steps.
- Screen readers: meaningful images have text alternatives, and buttons without words have labels. Decorative animations and images are hidden from screen readers so they do not get in the way.
- Nothing is conveyed by picture or movement alone: every demonstration of a cooking step comes with the full text of that step, and every number (calories, protein, quantities) is also written as text.
- A classic page for every recipe: each recipe also has a text page with all its ingredients and all its steps on one page, in headings and lists, with no animation.
- The videos on the site have no speech. The film at the top of the home page has music only and stays muted until sound is asked for; everything it shows can also be read in the text below it.
- Contrast: text has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 against its background.
- Reduced motion: if "Reduce motion" is turned on in your device settings, you get all the content and every action, with no animations and no videos playing on their own.
- Any screen size: the site adapts to phones, tablets and computers, and you can zoom in with your browser without losing content.
- Comfortable touch: large buttons, and every swipe action also has a button.
- Language and direction: pages are marked as Hebrew and right-to-left, so screen readers read them correctly. This statement is also available in Hebrew.
- The purchase form: every field has a label, an error message appears next to the field that needs fixing, and the focus moves to it.
- The questionnaire in the book: its sliders are the browser's own controls. They can be moved with the keyboard, and screen readers read out the value you choose.
The accessibility menu
Every page of the site and every screen of the book has an accessibility button (the person icon) that opens our own accessibility menu. You can adjust the display to your needs: enlarge the text in three steps, turn on high contrast or grayscale, mark links and headings, widen the text spacing, switch to a plain font, stop all animations, turn on a strong focus ring and, on a computer, a big cursor. Your choices stay on the device, on every page of the site and in the book, even offline, and can be reset with one tap. The menu itself works with a keyboard and a screen reader.
How we tested
The site was checked with an automated testing tool against WCAG 2.1 level AA, and by navigating with a keyboard only, in Chrome and Safari, on a computer and on a phone.
Known limitations
- The visual demonstrations of the cooking steps, and the film and the tour of the book on the home page, are visual content. Everything they show is also written in the text beside them.
- The digital book works only with JavaScript turned on in the browser. The home page can be read without it.
- The payment page itself is run by the payment provider, which is responsible for its accessibility. If it is hard for you to pay there, contact us and we will complete the purchase together another way.
If you would like a recipe or part of the book in another format, for example as text by email, we will be happy to send it.
Physical service and events
The Same Taste operates online only. We have no office or service point open to the public and we hold no events, so there are no physical accessibility arrangements.
Exemptions
We have not requested or received any exemption or relief from accessibility obligations.
Found a problem? Talk to us
