<p><strong>Last Updated:</strong> September 22, 2026</p>
<p>This Cookie Policy explains how <strong>arda-akgul.com</strong> uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them.</p>
<h2 id="what-are-cookies">What Are Cookies?</h2>
<p>Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember your choices between visits. Similar technologies (such as local storage) may serve the same purpose; this policy covers them as well.</p>

<p>Analytics cookies are placed <strong>only after</strong> you select &ldquo;Accept all&rdquo; or save preferences with analytics enabled. Measurement ID: <code>G-RY2DML1TZX</code>.</p>
<h3 id="advertising">Advertising</h3>
<p>The Site does not currently run advertising and does not set advertising cookies. Consent Mode signals for <code>ad_storage</code>, <code>ad_user_data</code>, and <code>ad_personalization</code> are still collected so that, if advertising is ever added, it will start in a consent-compliant state. Declining them has no effect on site functionality.</p>
<h2 id="third-party-cookies">Third-Party Cookies</h2>
<p>We do not embed third-party widgets that set their own cookies (no social embeds, no video embeds, no ad networks). Third parties such as Google may still process technical data (for example your IP address) when their resources are loaded — see the

<h2 id="managing-cookies">Managing Cookies</h2>
<h3 id="through-our-banner">Through our banner</h3>
<p>Use <strong>Cookie settings</strong> in the site footer to reopen the consent banner and change your choice at any time.</p>
<h3 id="through-your-browser">Through your browser</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Chrome:</strong> Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data</li>

<li><strong>Safari:</strong> Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data</li>
<li><strong>Edge:</strong> Settings → Cookies and site permissions</li>
</ul>
<p>Blocking all cookies will prevent the Site from remembering your consent choice, so the banner will reappear on each visit.</p>
<h2 id="updates">Updates</h2>
<p>We may update this Cookie Policy occasionally. The &ldquo;Last Updated&rdquo; date above will change when we do.</p>
