The Short Version
Most cookie policies are long scrolls of legal text designed to bury the fact that your data is being harvested. This one is different because there's almost nothing to bury. I use cookies and local storage minimally, strictly for functional purposes, and never for tracking or advertising. I do not use any third-party tracking cookies. Period. For a broader view of how I handle your data, see the <a href="/privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</a>.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They serve various purposes, from remembering your preferences to tracking your behavior across the internet. The key difference is intent. I use them only to make the Service work for you, not to profile you.
Cookies & Storage I Actually Use
Here is a complete, transparent list of every cookie and storage mechanism active on this site. No hidden trackers, no surprises.
Language Preference (localStorage + cookie): Remembers whether you chose English or Turkish. This is the only persistent preference stored. It makes your next visit feel seamless without requiring you to re-select your language every time.
Authentication Token (auth_token): A secure, HttpOnly cookie that maintains your login session if you create an account. It expires after 7 days. It cannot be accessed by client-side JavaScript, which is a deliberate security measure.
Service Worker Cache (PWA): The Progressive Web App caches static assets (CSS, JS, images) locally for faster loading and offline capability. No personal data is ever cached. This is technically browser storage, not a cookie.
Cloudflare Security (__cf_bm): Cloudflare may set a short-lived cookie to distinguish humans from bots and protect the site from automated attacks. This cookie is strictly functional and contains no personal data.
What I Don't Use
This list is longer than the one above, and I'm proud of that.
No advertising cookies or ad network pixels. I do not place ads on this site. There are no advertising cookies, retargeting scripts, or ad network beacons here. Your visit will never follow you around the internet as a targeted ad.
No Google Analytics or any user-tracking analytics. I do not use Google Analytics, Hotjar, Mixpanel, or any analytics service that tracks individual users, records sessions, or builds behavioral profiles. If I can't measure it without invading your privacy, I don't measure it.
No Facebook Pixel, Meta tracking, or social media tracking cookies. There are no social media SDKs, share-tracking pixels, or embedded widgets that report your visit back to Meta, X, or any other social platform.
No cross-site tracking of any kind. Nothing on this site communicates with third-party tracking networks. Your activity here stays here.
No fingerprinting techniques. I do not use canvas fingerprinting, WebGL fingerprinting, audio context fingerprinting, or any other technique designed to uniquely identify your device without explicit consent.
No third-party analytics that track individual users. Cloudflare Web Analytics is the only analytics tool in use, and it is entirely cookie-free. It provides aggregated traffic data only. I can see how many people visit, not who visits.
No retargeting or remarketing cookies. You will never see a "follow-up" ad based on something you viewed on this site. I do not participate in any remarketing network or audience-building platform.
But What About Analytics?
I use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-first analytics tool that is entirely cookie-free. It does not track individual users, does not collect personal information, and provides only aggregated traffic metrics. I can see how many people visit, not who visits. That distinction matters.
Data Minimalism by Design
The philosophy extends beyond cookies. The entire platform is built on the principle that the best data to protect is data you never collected in the first place. For the full picture, see the <a href="/privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</a>.
Account creation requires only an email and password. Your name? Optional.
Booking a consultation? You can schedule a meeting without entering your name or phone number. An email address is the only requirement.
No mandatory profile completion. Use the Service with the minimum information you're comfortable sharing.
Cloudflare Turnstile protects forms without traditional CAPTCHAs and without tracking you.
Managing Your Cookies
You are always in control. You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time.
Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies in Settings > Privacy or Settings > Cookies.
Clearing cookies will log you out and reset your language preference, but that's it. No data is lost on the server side.
You can also use browser extensions or privacy tools to block specific cookies if you prefer.
Changes to This Policy
If I ever change the way cookies are used, which would only happen to further reduce them, I will update this page and reflect the change in the "Last Updated" date.
