What is a Cookie?
A cookie is the name given to a type of identification file that a website places on and reads through the browser used by the user. Various data, such as the user’s session information, the duration of content consumption on the page, and content consumption habits, are stored in cookie files.
Our cookies are used to offer you a personalized experience when you use our websites, to improve our services, and to enhance your experience.
Cookies may be classified under different categories according to their purposes and methods of use. Some of these categories are explained below:
Types of Cookies
Types of Cookies According to Their Duration of Use
Our website uses session cookies and persistent cookies according to their duration of use. A session cookie is used to ensure the continuity of the session, and these cookies are deleted when the user closes their browser. A persistent cookie, on the other hand, is not deleted when the internet browser is closed and is automatically deleted on a specific date or after a specific period of time.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
Whether a cookie is a first-party or third-party cookie varies according to the website or domain that places the cookie. First-party cookies are placed directly by the website visited by the user, that is, by the internet address displayed in the browser’s address bar. Third-party cookies, on the other hand, are placed by a domain different from the domain visited by the user.
Types of Cookies According to Their Purposes of Use
1) Mandatory Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the operation of the website. They are used to perform the basic functions of the website and ensure that the website operates properly. In addition, these cookies are necessarily used to enable the provision of an information society service that you have requested (logging in, filling out a form, and remembering privacy preferences). If Mandatory Cookies are blocked, some sections of the website may not function properly.
2) Analytical/Performance Cookies
These are cookies that enable statistical measurement for the purpose of analyzing users’ behavior on websites. These cookies are frequently used to improve the site. They are used by website owners for various purposes, such as estimating the number of unique visitors, measuring traffic, optimizing performance, identifying the most important search engine keywords leading to a web page, or monitoring navigation on the website. In this way, the performance of websites can be measured and improved. These cookies also help to understand which pages on websites are the most or least popular.
3) Functional Cookies
These types of cookies are used to make our website more functional and for personalization purposes (ensuring that your preferences other than your privacy preferences are remembered when you enter the site again). They are cookies used for the purposes of personalization and remembering preferences on websites or applications (including applications on desktop, mobile, or IoT devices). These cookies are used to provide functionalities other than Mandatory Cookies.
4) Advertising/Marketing Cookies
Advertising and marketing cookies are used to track users’ online activities, identify their personal interests, and display advertisements to users online according to these interests. Although there are many types of advertising in the online environment, the main reason why online behavioral advertising is the most preferred type of advertising is that advertising can be carried out according to people’s tendencies and preferences, and that time and financial resources can be used more efficiently from the perspective of the advertiser. Online behavioral advertising practices consist of the stages of monitoring people’s activities on the internet, analyzing these activities and profiling them, matching the profiled person with appropriate advertisements, and displaying the relevant advertisements to the relevant person.
Purposes and Legal Grounds for Processing Personal Data
Mandatory Cookies are used for the purposes of performing the basic functions of our website, ensuring that our website operates properly, and enabling the provision of an information society service that you have requested (logging in, filling out a form, remembering privacy preferences, etc.).

Services Where Cookies May Be Used
The services on our website where cookies may be used are listed below:
Google Tag Manager: These cookies help monitor and analyze the performance of the website by determining whether the tags that are part of Tag Manager have been loaded when a user visits the website.
Google Fonts: Google Fonts is a platform used to provide high-quality and free fonts to websites. It offers various font options to make the design of the website more aesthetically pleasing and readable. This service loads fonts from external Google servers, thereby improving the website’s loading speed and ensuring a consistent appearance across devices. Visitors’ browsers are not required to download these fonts to their local computers, which positively contributes to website performance. In addition, Google Fonts enables web developers to easily integrate fonts and provide a mobile-friendly and modern design.
Google Static: Google Static is an integrated service provided by Google and a cookie used to identify the user or ensure the functionality of the service when the service is used. For example, if a website displays Google Maps and uses static map images, it may use a Google service called the “Google Static Maps API”. While this API is used to retrieve static map images, cookies may generally be used to remember user preferences or previous interactions. Similarly, if a website uses a service such as Google Cloud Storage to host static files (e.g. images, CSS files, and JavaScript files), the “Google Static” cookie may be used to retrieve content from the servers of such service. Accordingly, this cookie may be used to improve the functionality of the website, personalize the user experience, or ensure the proper functioning of the service.
unpkg: We use the unpkg service on our website, which enables open-source JavaScript and CSS libraries to be loaded more quickly and reliably. Unpkg itself does not create cookies; however, the resources provided through this service may support the functioning of features on the website that enable user interaction or personalization. During this process, cookies may be used to store user session information or collect performance data. Therefore, cookies associated with unpkg may appear in the website’s cookie list.
Google reCAPTCHA: This is a cookie used by Google and associated with the reCAPTCHA service. reCAPTCHA is a security service used to prevent spam and automated bot attacks on websites. It uses CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) technology to verify whether users are human.
Google APIs: Google APIs enable websites or applications to integrate Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube, Google Drive, Google Calendar, and other Google services and are used to interact with such services. For example, a website may use the Google Maps API to display the location of a place, the Gmail API to read emails, or the YouTube API to search for and play videos. Google may store certain cookies in the course of providing these services.

Depending on cookie preferences, most people using Google services have an “NID” or “_Secure-ENID” cookie in their browsers. These cookies are used to remember preferences and other information.
