Cookie information

Our website uses "cookies" (hereinafter referred to as "cookies"). These are files that store information in your web browser. Your consent is required for this.
We use cookies in accordance with the Act C of 2003 on electronic communications, the Act CVIII of 2001 on certain issues of electronic commerce services and information society services, as well as the requirements of the European Union.
Websites operating within the countries of the European Union must seek the consent of users to use cookies and to store them on the user’s computer or other device.

Legal basis for cookies:

● The use of technically non-essential cookies is based solely on the prior, voluntary consent of the data subject (GDPR Article 6(1)(a))

● The data subject has the right to withdraw their consent at any time by modifying the cookie settings


1. Rules for the use of "cookies"
● This policy applies to the "cookies" of the domain name website.


2. What are "cookies"?
● "Cookies" are small files that contain letters and numbers. A cookie is a means of exchanging information between the web server and the user's browser. These data files cannot be executed, do not contain spyware or viruses, and cannot access the user's hard drive contents.


3. What can "cookies" be used for?
● With the information sent by "cookies", web browsers can be recognized more easily, so users receive relevant and "personalized" content. Cookies make browsing more convenient, considering online data security needs and relevant advertisements. Using "cookies", website operators can also create anonymous statistics about visitor habits. This allows editors to further personalize the look and content of the site.


4. What types of "cookies" might you encounter?
● Websites can use two types of cookies:


Websites can use three types of cookies:


– Temporary "cookies" that remain on your device until you leave the website.
– Permanent "cookies" that remain on your device for a longer time, or until you delete them, depending on your browser settings.
– Third-party "cookies" placed in your browser by a third party (e.g., Google Analytics). These are placed in your browser if the visited website uses services provided by third parties.


Essential session (session-id) "cookies":
● Their use is essential for navigating the website and for the functioning of the website's features. Without accepting these, the homepage or certain parts of it may not display properly or at all.


Analytical or performance-monitoring "cookies":
● These help us distinguish website visitors and collect data about how visitors behave on the website. For example, with these "cookies", we ensure that the website remembers your login in the cases you requested. They do not collect any identifiable information about you; the data is stored in an aggregated and anonymous form. (e.g., Google Analytics)


Functional "cookies":
● The purpose of these cookies is to improve the user experience. They detect and store, for example, the type of device you used to open the homepage, or your previously provided and stored information: for example, automatic login, the chosen language, text size, font, or other customizable elements of the homepage that you have modified. These "cookies" do not track your activities on other websites. However, the information they collect may include personal identification data that you shared.


Targeted or advertising "cookies":
● These allow websites to provide information (marketing) that best matches your interests. Your explicit consent is required for this. These cookies collect detailed information about your browsing habits.


5. Do "cookies" contain personal data?
● Most "cookies" do not contain personal information, and users cannot be identified using them. The stored data is necessary for more comfortable browsing and is stored in such a way that unauthorized persons cannot access them.


6. Why are "cookies" important on the internet?
● The role of "cookies" is to make browsing more convenient for users, as they set ads and contents for users through browsing history. Disabling or restricting "cookies" may render some websites unusable. However, disabling or restricting "cookies" does not mean that users will not see advertisements; it simply means that the advertisements and content displayed are not "personalized", meaning they do not cater to the user’s needs and interests. Some examples of cookie usage:


– Display content, services, and products tailored to user needs.
– Offers tailored to user interests.
– Remembering login where you requested (stay logged in).
– Remembering child protection filters for online content (family mode options, safe search features).
– Limiting the frequency of advertisements; that is, placing a numerical limit on the display of an advertisement on a given website for the user.
– Displaying relevant advertisements for the user.
– Geotargeting


7. Security and data protection factors.
● "Cookies" are not viruses or spyware. Since they are simple text-type files, they cannot be executed and are not considered programs. However, it is possible for them to hide information with other intentions (maliciously) in the "cookie" to act as spyware. Because of this, antivirus and anti-spyware programs may regularly delete "cookies".


● As the internet browsing device and web servers continually communicate, sending data back and forth, if an attacker (hacker) intervenes in the process, they can extract the information stored by "cookies". One reason for this could be improperly encrypted internet (WiFi) settings. Exploiting this vulnerability, they can extract data from "cookies".


8. Managing and deleting "cookies"
● "Cookies" can be deleted or disabled in the browser programs used. Browsers typically allow the placement of "cookies" by default. This can be disabled in the browser settings, and existing cookies can be deleted. Additionally, it can be set for the browser to alert the user when a "cookie" is sent to the device. However, it is important to emphasize that disabling or limiting these files can degrade the browsing experience and may cause errors in the functionality of the website as well.


– The settings options are usually found in the browser's "Options" or "Settings" menu. Each web browser is different, so please use your browser's "Help" menu for the appropriate settings.
