Privacy
Cookie
In Turkish: Çerez
A small file a website stores in your browser to remember you, for example that you are logged in, or to track you across sites.
Some cookies are useful: they keep your basket full or keep you signed in. Others, often from advertising companies, follow you across many sites. The banner that asks you to "accept cookies" is about this second kind.
Rejecting optional cookies usually does not break the site. Clearing cookies logs you out and resets some tracking, but does not make you anonymous.
What to do
- Choose "reject" or "necessary only" on cookie banners.
- Clear cookies from time to time, and always on a shared computer.
- Log out of accounts on devices that are not yours.
