Cookie Policy
This policy explains which cookies and similar technologies we use on datumyazilim.com, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
Effective date: 24 August 2026
1. What Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file saved to your device through your browser when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make a site work properly, remember your preferences and understand how a site is used.
In this policy, "cookie" also covers similar technologies that serve the same function, such as local storage (localStorage).
2. Why We Use Them
We have kept this website deliberately simple. We use cookies and similar technologies only to:
- make the core functions of the site work;
- remember your appearance preference (light or dark theme);
- store your cookie choice so we do not ask again on every visit;
- maintain security and prevent misuse.
3. Cookies We Use
3.1. Strictly necessary
These are required for the site to work and cannot be switched off. Under the KVKK they do not require explicit consent; they rely on legitimate interests and the delivery of the service.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
datum-cookie-consent |
Local storage (first party) | Stores your response to the cookie notice so it is not shown on every visit. | Until you delete it |
datum-theme |
Local storage (first party) | Remembers whether you prefer the light or dark theme. | Until you delete it |
3.2. Performance and analytics
We may introduce analytics cookies in future to understand and improve how the site is used. Such cookies are enabled only with your explicit consent; if you choose "Necessary only" in the cookie notice, they are not run. As of today there are no active analytics cookies on this site.
3.3. Server logs
These are not cookies, but the servers hosting this site keep technical records such as IP address, browser information and request timestamps for security and error tracking. These records are not used for advertising or profiling.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Our website does not set third-party cookies. However, when you follow a link from our site to a third-party service (for example the Apple App Store, Google Play or a social media profile), that party's own cookie practices apply. We recommend reviewing their privacy and cookie policies separately.
5. Managing Your Preferences
You can change your cookie choice at any time. The button below clears your stored preference and reopens the cookie notice:
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the site to function, so they cannot be turned off from within the site; you can block them via your browser settings. If you do, your theme preference will not be remembered and the cookie notice will reappear on every visit.
6. Browser Settings
You can also manage, delete or block cookies from your browser settings. The exact steps differ between browsers, but you will usually find them under Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies. Detailed guidance is available in each browser's own help pages.
7. Relationship to Personal Data
To the extent that data obtained through cookies constitutes personal data, it is processed under Turkish Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data. The purposes of processing, potential recipients and your rights under Article 11 of the KVKK are explained in detail in our Privacy Notice.
8. Changes
We may update this policy when the technologies we use or the applicable law change. The current version is always published on this page. For questions, contact us at kvkk@datumyazilim.com.
