Accessibility Statement

Last reviewed and updated: August 14, 2026

Our Commitment

Gate & Apple Beverages Inc.(“we,” “us,” “our”) is committed to making hugoscocktails.com usable by as many people as possible, including people with disabilities. We believe that everyone should be able to browse our products, understand our information, and complete a purchase independently and with dignity.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort for us, not a one-time project. We are actively working to improve the experience of our website for all visitors and to apply the relevant accessibility standards.

Standard We Are Working Toward

We are working toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, learning, and neurological disabilities.

We have not yet completed a comprehensive third-party audit of this website against WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Our review of the site is ongoing, and we therefore do not claim that the entire website currently conforms to that standard.

Measures We Take

  • Consider accessibility as part of our design and development decisions
  • Review new pages and features for common accessibility barriers before publishing
  • Provide text alternatives for meaningful images
  • Aim for sufficient color contrast between text and background
  • Work toward full keyboard operability of interactive elements
  • Ask our third-party vendors about the accessibility of the tools they provide to us

Known Limitations

Despite our efforts, some parts of this website may not yet be fully accessible. We are aware of the following limitations:

  • Third-party content and widgets. Some features on our site are provided by external services, including customer review widgets, our store locator, and payment and checkout functionality provided by our e-commerce platform. We do not control the code of these services and cannot guarantee their accessibility. We do raise accessibility issues with these vendors when we become aware of them.
  • Decorative and photographic content. Some older images and promotional graphics may lack complete text alternatives. We are reviewing and updating these.
  • Documents. Any PDF or downloadable document published before August 14., 2026 may not be fully accessible to screen readers. We will provide the information in an accessible format on request.

If you encounter a barrier that is not listed here, we would like to know about it.

Technical Specifications

Accessibility of this website relies on the following technologies to work with the particular combination of web browser and any assistive technologies or plugins installed on your computer:

  • HTML
  • WAI-ARIA
  • CSS
  • JavaScript

These technologies are relied upon for conformance with the accessibility standards used.

Assessment Approach

We currently assess the accessibility of this website through internal self-evaluation, including review by our own team and the use of automated accessibility testing tools.
