Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 6, 2026
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files saved on your device when you visit a website. The browser's local storage (localStorage) keeps information in your browser in a similar way; in this policy both are called "cookies". They are used to make the site work, to remember your choices and, if you consent, to measure how the site is used.
2. Cookies we use
- Strictly necessary cookies: Needed for the site to work and to remember your cookie choice and the theme you picked; they do not depend on your consent.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics 4 helps us measure how the site is used. It is loaded through Google Tag Manager and only with your explicit consent; without consent it is not loaded. The standalone app microsites on our domain do no measurement.
We do not use advertising or remarketing cookies.
3. Cookie types table
This table is prepared from the same data source as the "Preferences" layer of the site's cookie banner.

The * stands for the part of the cookie name that changes (a user number or measurement ID). Browsers may shorten cookie durations. Cookies whose names start with wordpress_ or wp-settings- are written only to the browsers of editors who log in to the blog's admin panel, never to visitors of the site. The blog is not live yet.
4. Managing your choices
The cookie banner offers Accept all, Reject all and Preferences. Rejecting does not stop you from using the site. You can change your choice or withdraw your consent at any time with the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page; your choice is kept for 6 months. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings.
Data collected with analytics cookies may be transferred to servers abroad; in that case personal data is transferred in line with the KVKK provisions on transfers abroad.
