Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 10, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains which cookies and similar technologies we use on our website, for what purposes, how long they are stored, and how you can manage your preferences. Processing related to cookies should be read together with our Privacy Policy and KVKK Notice.
What Is a Cookie?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device through your browser when you visit a website. They are used to make the site work properly, maintain security, remember your preferences and, where you consent, measure usage.
Similar Technologies
In addition to classic cookies, we use similar storage technologies such as your browser's localStorage. For example, your cookie-consent choice, theme and measurement-unit selections are stored in your browser's localStorage. These technologies are also covered by this policy.
Cookie Categories
We group cookies under the four categories you also see in the cookie banner. Essential cookies always run; the other three categories operate only if you consent.
- Essential: Required for the core operation and security of the site. Storing your consent choice, remembering in-page scroll position, and security and bot protection fall under this category. It cannot be switched off and does not require consent; it is subject only to the duty of disclosure.
- Functionality: Remembers preferences such as theme (light/dark), currency and measurement unit. The site works without them, but your preferences are not remembered.
- Statistics: Analytics cookies that help us understand how visitors use the site (Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity). They run only with your explicit consent.
- Marketing: Advertising and remarketing cookies. They are used only if we run an active advertising campaign and only with your explicit consent; there are currently no cookies running in this category.
Consent Mechanism (Consent Mode v2)
Our site uses Google Consent Mode v2. Until you make a choice in the cookie banner, all analytics and marketing signals (analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization) are set to denied by default. This means statistics and marketing cookies are not run before you consent. Your choice, together with version and date information, is stored in your browser's localStorage under the "als-consent" key.
