What is a cookie?
A cookie is a type of identification file placed and read by a website in the browser used by the user. Cookie files store various data such as the user’s session information, time spent on a page, and content consumption habits.
Our cookies are used to provide you with a personalized experience while using our websites, to improve our services, and to enhance your overall experience.
Cookies can be categorized under different titles according to their purposes and methods of use. Some of these categories are explained below:
Types of cookies:
According to duration of use: Our website uses session cookies and persistent cookies based on their duration. Session cookies are used to maintain session continuity and are deleted when the user closes their browser. Persistent cookies, however, are not deleted when the browser is closed and are automatically deleted either on a specific date or after a set period.
First-party and third-party cookies: Whether a cookie is first-party or third-party depends on the website or domain placing the cookie. First-party cookies are placed directly by the website the user visits (i.e., the website address shown in the browser’s address bar, such as https://matbaacilik.net). Third-party cookies, on the other hand, are placed by a domain different from the one the user is visiting.
According to purpose of use:
1) Mandatory Cookies:
These cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of the website. They are used to perform basic website functions (such as logging in, filling out forms, security verification, page navigation, etc.) and are also required to fulfill an information society service requested (such as remembering privacy preferences). If mandatory cookies are blocked, certain parts of the website may not function properly.
2) Analytical/Performance Cookies:
These cookies enable statistical measurement to analyze user behavior on websites. They are frequently used to improve the site. They are employed by website owners for purposes such as estimating the number of unique visitors, measuring traffic, optimizing performance, identifying key search engine keywords that direct to the site, or monitoring site navigation. This way, website performance can be measured and improved. These cookies also help identify which pages are most/least popular. In some cases, they may also be triggered automatically when users interact with third-party services or embedded content (such as YouTube videos, Google Maps, etc.).
3) Functional Cookies:
These cookies are used to make the website’s content more personalized. For example, they enable remembering information such as username, language preference, or regional selection (excluding your privacy preferences). In some cases, they may also be triggered automatically when users interact with third-party services or embedded content (such as YouTube videos, Google Maps, etc.).
4) Advertising/Marketing Cookies:
These cookies allow the tracking of users’ browsing habits on the internet to display personalized advertisements. They are used for online behavioral advertising activities. Such cookies may also be shared with advertising partners. In some cases, they may also be triggered automatically when users interact with third-party services or embedded content (such as YouTube videos, Google Maps, etc.).
5) Triggered Cookies (Interaction-Based): These types of cookies are not created directly for a specific purpose. They are automatically triggered when the user interacts with embedded content such as YouTube videos or Google Maps on the website, and they fall into advertising, analytical, or functional categories.
Purposes and Legal Grounds for Processing Personal Data
Mandatory cookies are used to perform the basic functions of our website, ensure its proper functioning, maintain session and security, improve its performance for faster responses, and fulfill an information society service you requested (such as logging in, filling out forms, remembering privacy preferences, etc.). The personal data collected through these cookies are processed under Article 5(2)(c) of the Law: “Processing of personal data of the parties to a contract is necessary, provided that it is directly related to the establishment or performance of the contract” or Article 5(2)(f): “Provided that it does not harm the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, processing of data is mandatory for the legitimate interests of the data controller.”
Advertising and Marketing cookies are created when users interact with embedded third-party Google Maps services on our website. The personal data collected through these cookies are processed under Article 5(1) of the Law, based on your explicit consent.
Functional cookies are created when users interact with embedded third-party Google Maps services on our website. The personal data collected through these cookies are processed under Article 5(1) of the Law, based on your explicit consent.
Detailed information on the cookies used on our website and related services is provided below:
Services on our website that may involve cookies:
Google: Google cookies can be used for many purposes, such as remembering your safe search preferences, showing you more relevant ads, determining how many visitors a page receives, helping you use and register for services provided by Google, protecting your data, or remembering your ad settings.
Google Fonts: A platform used to provide websites with high-quality and free fonts. It offers various font options to make the site design more aesthetic and readable. This service loads fonts from external Google servers, increasing website loading speed and ensuring consistent display across devices. Visitors’ browsers do not need to download these fonts to their local computers, positively affecting site performance. Google Fonts also enables web developers to easily integrate fonts and offer mobile-friendly, modern designs.
Google Static: An integrated service offered by Google, using cookies to identify the user or ensure service functionality. 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 retrieving static map images, cookies may 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, JavaScript files), the “Google Static” cookie may be used to retrieve content from those servers. In short, this cookie can be used to improve site functionality, personalize user experience, or ensure proper service operation.
jsDelivr: jsDelivr is a content delivery network (CDN) that allows web developers to distribute JavaScript, CSS, jQuery, Font Awesome, and other resources quickly and reliably. The jsDelivr cookie is used to optimize user experience and improve service performance when delivering content via jsDelivr servers.
