Cookie Policy
Most cookie policies are long because most sites carry advertising and analytics. This one is short because this site carries neither.
Every cookie this site sets
| Name | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
NEXT_LOCALE | Remembers which of the four languages you chose, so you are not sent back to English on the next page | Strictly necessary / functional | 1 year |
That is the complete list. There is no second table.
What this site does not set
- No analytics cookies. There is no Google Analytics, Plausible, Matomo or equivalent on this site.
- No advertising or retargeting cookies. We do not run ads and we do not build audiences.
- No social media cookies. Links to our profiles are ordinary links; no embedded widget loads before you click one.
- No third-party cookies at all. Every resource this site loads comes from our own domain.
The site also stores nothing in your browser's local storage or session storage.
Why there is no consent banner
Under the ePrivacy Directive — and its national implementations, including Türkiye's — consent is required for cookies that are not strictly necessary for a service the visitor asked for. A cookie that remembers the language you deliberately selected is necessary for exactly that, so it falls within the exemption.
If we ever add anything beyond that, a consent banner will appear before the cookie is set, not after.
Controlling cookies
You can delete or block cookies in your browser's settings. Blocking
NEXT_LOCALE breaks nothing: the site will simply fall back to detecting a
language from your browser on each visit, and you can still switch language
from the header at any time.
