What this page covers
It lists everything this site writes to your browser, why each item is there and how long it stays. We set nothing that is not named below.
First, the part that matters: measurement is on
Google Analytics starts the moment you open a page, and cookies whose names begin with `_ga` are set. We do not ask you first. That is a deliberate choice, and rather than leave it unsaid we state it here. If you would rather not be measured, block this site's cookies or clear its data in your browser settings — the site works exactly the same, nothing is switched off and nothing slows down.
NEXT_LOCALE — your language
Set when you choose Turkish or English, and it decides which language the site opens in next time. It holds a language code and nothing that identifies you. It expires on its own after a year. It needs no consent: it does nothing beyond remembering a choice you made.
bs-scheme — your theme
Your theme, if you picked one by hand, lives in your browser's local storage. It is not a cookie: it is never sent to the server and stays on your own device.
Google Analytics — the `_ga` cookies
Google Analytics runs on every page you open and sets cookies whose names begin with `_ga`. What it collects: which pages you visit, how long you stay, where you arrived from, device type, browser, and location no finer than country. What it does not collect: your name, your email, or anything you typed into a form. These cookies last at most two years.
What reaches Google, and what does not
What goes: which page was viewed, how long you stayed, where you arrived from, device and browser, and location no finer than country. What does not: the advertising personalisation signals. Those are held off deliberately — advertising measurement is a separate decision and it has not been taken.
Advertising measurement
There are no advertising cookies on this site today and the advertising signals are held off. If we run campaigns later, this page will be updated before any campaign goes live.
Nothing else is set
No tracking pixels, no social media tags, no heatmaps, no session recording. Every file the site needs — typefaces included — is served from our own domain, so apart from Google Analytics, opening a page sends no request to another company.
How to clear them
Clearing this site's data in your browser removes all of it. Block the language cookie and the site follows your browser's language; clear the theme record and it follows your device's light and dark setting. If you would rather not be measured at all, turn on your browser's cookie blocking for this site. None of it stops you using the site.
Changes
If what we set ever changes, this page is updated before the change goes live and the date at the foot of it is refreshed.
