What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of data placed on devices (computers, smartphones, tablets) to ensure the proper functioning of a website or mobile application, to improve the user experience, to develop and optimize the site, to present more relevant, interest-based advertisements, and to offer an engaging and personalized website and advertising portfolio for visitors.
Cookies help our website remember your preferences and allow you to access those preferences when you visit the site again (such as login information, language, location, and other preferences). This way, you do not need to re-enter this information when visiting our website or mobile applications.
Cookies contain information only regarding the User’s online visit history; they do not collect any information about files stored on the computer and/or mobile device.
Only the site that created the cookie can read it. The site also determines how long the cookie is stored.
Is the use of cookies mandatory?
There are different types of cookies based on their purpose of use. Some are mandatory cookies, while others are optional and subject to the user’s preference. Accepting cookies provides you with a better user experience. You may delete or block cookies other than strictly necessary cookies (you can set your preferences via the active/inactive option); however, in this case, the website may not function as intended, or you may not be able to utilize all its features. You can change your preferences at any time. The use of strictly necessary cookies may be essential for the operation of the website or mobile application. Therefore, if they are blocked via browser settings, the website or mobile application—or certain parts thereof—may fail to function.
What Are the Types of Cookies?
There are various types of cookies. These are primarily categorized into two groups: based on their function (purpose of use) and based on their storage duration.
Cookie Types Based on Function:
Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the website. They are required for system management and the prevention of fraudulent transactions; if blocked, the website will not function.
Functionality Cookies: These cookies are used to provide you with an enhanced and more convenient user experience. For instance, they perform functions such as remembering your previous preferences and enabling easy access to certain content on the website. You can block the use of these cookies as detailed below.

Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to identify and present content that may interest you, including advertising content. You can prevent the use of these cookies as detailed below. However, blocking these cookies will not completely block advertising content; instead of ads tailored to your interests, you will be shown ads with general content.
Types of Cookies Based on Duration:
Persistent Cookies: These are cookies that remain on the user’s computer until a specific date or until deleted by the user. These cookies are primarily used to measure users’ site activities and preferences.
Session Cookies: These cookies are used to divide the user’s visit into sessions and do not collect data from the user. The cookie is deleted when the user closes the visited webpage or remains inactive for a certain period. Targeting and tracking cookies are used on the Website to assist third parties in providing services—particularly advertising services—and to enhance the effectiveness of these services. These cookies can remember the webpages and sites you have visited and may collect personal data, such as the user device’s IP address. The Website uses both first-party and third-party cookies to collect information; remember your interests and demographic data; serve targeted ads; improve advertisements; and determine metrics such as visit counts, ad impression counts, other uses of advertising services, and the ratio of interactions with these ad impressions and services.
