KVKK – Cookie Policy

COOKIE POLICY

In this policy, we use the term “cookie” to refer to cookies and other similar technologies that fall within the scope of the EU Directive on the privacy of electronic communications.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small piece of data that a website asks your browser to store on your computer or mobile device. Cookies allow the website to “remember” your actions or preferences over time.

Most web browsers support cookies; however, users can configure their browsers to reject certain types of cookies or specific cookies. Additionally, users can delete cookies at any time.

Why do we use cookies?

We use cookies to better understand how you interact with our content and to improve your experience visiting our website(s). For example, some cookies remember your language or preferences so you don't have to re-enter them when you visit one of our websites. In addition, cookies allow us to provide you with personalized content, such as videos, on our website(s). We may also use what we learn from your behavior on our website(s) to serve you targeted advertising on third-party websites as part of our "remarketing" efforts for our products and services.

What types of cookies do we use?

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

We use both first-party and third-party cookies on our website. First-party cookies  are cookies issued from the website address  domain, generally used to determine language and location preferences or to provide basic site functionality. Third-party cookies belong to and are managed by other parties, such as service providers. They may be necessary to submit certain forms, for purposes such as allowing certain advertisements outside of the website.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies are used to remember your preferences on the website and remain on your desktop or mobile device even after you close your browser or restart your computer. We use these cookies to analyze user behavior in order to create visitor patterns and thus improve our website functionality for you and others who visit our website(s). These cookies enable us to provide you with targeted advertising and to measure the effectiveness of site functionality and advertising.

How are cookies used for advertising purposes?

In addition to cookies, advertising technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and anonymous ad network tags help us to more effectively deliver ads that may be of interest to you. They also help us collect aggregate audit data, research, and performance reports for advertisers. Pixels help us understand and improve how ads are presented to you and when certain ads are shown to you. Because your web browser can request ads and web beacons directly from ad network servers, these networks may view, modify, or set their own cookies as if you had requested a webpage from their site.

Although we don't use cookies to profile your browsing behavior on third-party sites, we do use aggregated data from third parties to show you relevant and interest-based ads. We do not share any personal information we collect with advertisers. You can opt out of off-site and third-party advertising by changing your cookie settings. Opting out will not remove ads from the pages you visit, but it will result in the ads you see not matching your interests. This means that the ad(s) you see may not be tailored to your interests through these specific cookies.

How are third-party cookies used?

For some of the functions on our websites, for example when you visit a page containing videos with a YouTube extension or links that redirect you there, we use third-party providers. These videos or links (and any other content from third-party providers) may contain third-party cookies, so we recommend that you consult the privacy policies of these third-party providers to learn about their cookie usage.

How can I reject and delete cookies?

By clicking on the cookie preferences on our website(s), you can choose to reject or block all or specific types of cookies set in relation to your visit to a website. You can change your preferences for websites and/or third-party vendor websites by changing your browser settings. Please note that most browsers automatically accept cookies. Therefore, if you do not want cookies to be used, you may need to actively delete or block them. If you reject the use of cookies, you can continue to use our websites, but some functions may not work correctly. You can also  visit www.allaboutcookies.org for information on how to delete or reject cookies and about cookies in general  . By using our website without deleting or rejecting some or all cookies, you agree that we may place these cookies on your device.
