1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Köken Akademi ("Platform") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website.
We place great importance on user privacy. For this reason, we keep our cookie usage to a minimum and only use technologies that are necessary for the proper functioning of our service.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files sent by websites to your browser. They are stored on your browser or device to help the website recognize you and remember your preferences. Local storage (localStorage) is a browser technology similar to cookies that stores data for a longer period and with greater capacity.
3. Technologies We Use
The following cookie and local storage technologies are used on the Platform:
| Technology | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| JWT Auth Token | localStorage | Session management and authentication | Duration of session |
| Theme Preference | localStorage | Remembering light/dark mode selection | Persistent (until browser data is cleared) |
| Cloudflare __cf_bm | Cookie | Bot protection and security | 30 minutes |
| Cloudflare __cflb | Cookie | Load balancing | Session duration |
| Google Analytics _ga | Cookie | Visitor statistics (anonymous) | 2 years |
| Google Analytics _gid | Cookie | Session-based visitor differentiation | 24 hours |
| Cookie Preference | localStorage | Remembering cookie consent status | Persistent (until browser data is cleared) |
4. Our Analytics Service: Google Analytics 4
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand our website's visitor statistics. What you should know about GA4:
- Only works with your consent — GA4 is not loaded unless you accept the cookie banner
- IP anonymization — GA4 anonymizes IP addresses by default
- Anonymous statistics — aggregate data such as page views, visitor counts, referral sources, and popular pages are collected
- No advertising features — no data is collected for remarketing or targeting purposes
If you reject the cookie banner, no GA4 cookies will be placed in your browser and no analytics data will be collected.
5. Cookies We Do Not Use
Our Platform does not use the following types of cookies:
- Advertising and marketing cookies
- Third-party tracking cookies
- Social media tracking cookies
- User profiling cookies
- Cross-site tracking technologies
6. Managing Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings:
- Deleting cookies: You can delete all cookies from your browser's settings section
- Blocking cookies: You can set your browser to block all or specific cookies
- Clearing local storage: You can clear localStorage data from your browser's developer tools
Important note: If you block or delete essential cookies and local storage data, your experience using the Platform may be affected. For example, you may need to log in again on every page or reset your theme preference.

7. Legal Basis
The use of essential cookies and local storage is necessary for the provision of our service under Article 5/2-c of the KVKK (Turkish Data Protection Law) and does not require explicit consent. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4) are only loaded after you provide explicit consent through the cookie banner.
