What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a simple text file sent to your device by the website server when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to provide you with a better, faster, and more functional visiting experience.
Which Types of Cookies Do We Use and For What Purposes?
First of all, there are two main types of cookies based on their validity periods: persistent cookies and session cookies. Both types of cookies can be used on our website for the purposes specified below.
Persistent cookies are cookies that remain on your computer or mobile device after the browser or application is closed. They remain on your device until you delete them or until their validity period expires. Their purpose is to remember your preferences and settings for the expected continuation of your website visiting experience.
Session cookies, also called "temporary cookies," are cookies created during your visit and deleted after your visit ends.
Furthermore, it is possible to classify cookies according to their functions and purposes. In this context, cookies can be summarized as follows:
- Mandatory or functional cookies, used to ensure the website works as intended and to provide security,
- Functionality cookies that enable remembering the preferences of the user visiting the website (e.g., the language of your internet browser or mobile application, etc.) and ensure your website experience happens as expected,
- Performance and analytics cookies, which are related to website usage, used and analyzed for the development of websites, detection of errors, and verification of whether the website is working correctly, consisting of information such as how long you spend on a page, which sub-links you click on, and whether you receive an error message on any page,
- Marketing cookies, which enable targeted advertisements to be shown to you after your website visit, allow the company managing the website to show you personalized advertisements, and are used to measure and analyze the effectiveness of advertisements in terms of how often they are seen, whether they are clicked, whether they are effective, etc.
As can be seen, cookies, as a rule, do not collect your personal data. However, some of them may provide information that can identify you when matched with other information you may provide during your website visit. Such cookies will also be subject to the personal data protection policy and/or disclosures of the relevant website. This is entirely subject to the cookie policy of the relevant website.
As Uçkun Aktaş Öksüm Law Office, cookies are only used on pages with forms on our website to ensure form security. Form cookies do not contain any information about the user's visit. They only create a token (key) to ensure the security of the form but are automatically deleted when the browser tab is closed. These cookies are called transient cookies or temporary cookies. They are not stored on the visitor's device but are kept in active memory. They are deleted when the session ends or when no activity occurs for a certain period. These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and for the visitors' website experience.
In addition to the temporary session cookies mentioned above, there are also cookies, referred to as permanent cookies or persistent cookies, that are not directly created by us but are generated on our behalf by the tools we use for measurement and analysis. These cookies are used to identify across multiple independent sessions. In this context, Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics, Yandex Metrika, LinkedIn, and Add This tools (added for sharing only on article pages) are used for measurement and analysis. We recommend that you review the privacy and cookie policies of these tools. Information such as your internet browser's language, your time zone, time spent on our pages, and search engine optimization information is obtained by these tools, and information about visits to our website is shared with us (such as how many visitors from which country) anonymously and cumulatively through the tools we use. The tools we use do not share the personal data they process with us. The cookies created by these measurement tools have no effect on the functioning of the site. The use of cookies through these tools is subject to your consent. If you do not give consent, the site will continue to function smoothly on the visitor's device. If you do not give consent, we cannot obtain analytical information regarding your visit.
In addition to cookies designed by Uçkun Aktaş Öksüm Law Office, cookies may be used within the scope of services received from third parties. However, we assure you that cookies used by third parties will also be used only for the purposes stated above. Your personal data will not be collected through cookies used by third parties.
