The short version
One cookie, set only if you actively switch language, remembering that choice so you are not sent back to the wrong language next time. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no consent banner — because there is nothing here that requires consent.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store. It can be read back later by the site that set it. Cookies are useful for remembering preferences; they are also the main mechanism behind tracking across the web. The difference is entirely in what a site chooses to do with them.
The cookie we set
- Name: NEXT_LOCALE
- Purpose: remembers whether you chose English, Turkish or Arabic, so you land in the right language on your next visit.
- Set when: only when you click a language in the switcher. Simply visiting the site does not set it.
- Contains: a two-letter language code — en, tr or ar. Nothing else, and nothing that identifies you.
- Lifetime: 12 months.
- Type: strictly functional. Exempt from consent under the ePrivacy Directive and Turkish law, because it does only what you just asked it to do.
What we do not set
No Google Analytics or any other analytics. No advertising or remarketing pixels. No social media tracking. No session recording or heatmaps. No cross-site identifiers. We do not know how many people visited this page, and we have decided we can live with that.
Third-party requests
There are none. Our typefaces are served from this domain rather than a font CDN, so loading a page contacts nobody but us. The only thing worth naming is our own hosting infrastructure.
- Hosting logs: our host, Vercel, records standard server logs including IP addresses, for security and reliability. This is infrastructure logging, not a cookie, and you cannot opt out of it without not visiting the site.
Managing cookies
Every major browser lets you view, block and delete cookies in its settings. Because the only cookie we set is a language preference, blocking it costs you nothing except that the site will not remember your language between visits.
Changes
If we ever add a cookie, this page will say so before it appears — and if it is anything but strictly functional, we will ask for your consent first.
