What is stored on this site?

This site keeps two kinds of record. The first is your own preferences, stored in your browser: language, light or dark theme, reduced motion and your cookie choice. The second is visit measurement. The Matomo software we use for this runs on our own infrastructure in Türkiye; no third-party analytics service is used and no data is transferred abroad. There are no advertising, marketing or social-media trackers.

  • Language preference - written only when you choose
  • Theme and motion preference - when you press the button
  • Your cookie choice - allowed or not allowed
  • Visit measurement cookies - _pk_id, _pk_ses and _pk_ref

We measure how many people view which page, where visitors arrive from, which device and browser they use and which links they follow. This measurement is necessary to operate the site and, under the Turkish Data Protection Authority's cookie guidance, first-party analytics of this kind falls outside the explicit-consent requirement. IP addresses are masked, no cross-site tracking takes place, and if your browser sends a Do Not Track signal no measurement request is sent at all.

  • Page views and navigation path
  • Referring source and search term
  • Device, browser, screen and language
  • Masked IP and approximate location

Some measurements go beyond that limit: which field you hesitate on in a form, where you click on a page, or which of two versions of a page you saw. These are collected only if you give explicit permission. If you decline, the site works exactly the same; no content or function is withheld. You can change your decision at any time through the 'Cookie preferences' link at the bottom of every page — withdrawing permission is as easy as giving it.

  • Measuring behavior within form fields
  • Heatmaps and session recording, if used
  • A/B testing, if used
  • Audio and video interaction, if used

Durations and browser controls

The visitor cookie _pk_id and the referring-source cookie _pk_ref expire after six months, and the session cookie _pk_ses after thirty minutes. The preference records kept in your browser remain until you clear them. You can delete or block all cookies in your browser settings; because that also clears your preferences, your theme, language and cookie choice will reset. This policy is updated whenever the tools in use change.

  • _pk_id - distinguishes visitors - 6 months
  • _pk_ses - distinguishes sessions - 30 minutes
  • _pk_ref - referring source - 6 months
  • Preference records - language, theme, motion, cookie choice - until you clear them
  • All records are first-party; there are no third-party cookies

Frequently asked questions

Will the site work if I reject cookies?

Strictly necessary cookies may still operate for core functionality and security. Rejecting analytics or marketing cookies should not prevent access to essential content.

Is Google Analytics or a similar tool used?

This policy lists only the tools that are actually in use. If an analytics tool is added or removed, the list here and the related preferences are updated together.

How do I change my preference?

A persistent 'Cookie preferences' link should reopen the preference center from every page. Withdrawing a previous choice must be as easy as giving it.

Does the English version prevail?

The English version is informational. For Turkish law and processing activities in Türkiye, the current Turkish text prevails.
