01What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website can ask your browser to store on your device. They are commonly used to remember preferences, to keep you signed in, to measure how a site is used and to show targeted advertising. Similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels and device fingerprinting, can be used for the same purposes. UK law, in particular the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (“PECR”), requires websites to obtain consent before using any of these that are not strictly necessary.
02Cookies on this website
This website does not set any cookies, and it does not use local storage or any similar technology to identify or follow you. That is why you are not shown a cookie banner: there is nothing for you to accept or refuse.
Specifically, this website:
- uses no analytics service to measure visits;
- shows no advertising and contains no advertising or social-media trackers;
- embeds no third-party content such as videos, maps or social feeds that could set cookies of their own;
- has no user accounts, contact forms or shopping functions;
- serves its fonts, scripts, styles and images from this same domain rather than from third-party networks, so opening a page does not send your details to anyone else.
Your choice of language is carried by the address of the page you are on (pages in Turkish sit under /tr/), not by anything stored on your device.
03What may still be recorded
Loading any web page involves your browser sending a request to a server. The servers that host this website may automatically record technical information from those requests, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages requested and the date and time. This is used to deliver the pages and to keep the service secure. It is not a cookie and is not used to build a profile of you. Our Privacy Policy explains this in more detail.
Your own browser may cache copies of pages and images to make the website load faster on later visits. That cache is controlled by you and is not readable by us.
04Links to other websites
If you follow a link from this website to one operated by someone else, that website may use cookies. We do not control them, and their own cookie and privacy policies apply.
05Controlling cookies in your browser
Although this website does not use cookies, you can control or delete cookies from any website through your browser settings. Most browsers let you see what is stored, block cookies from particular sites or from third parties, and clear them when you close the browser. The help pages of your browser explain how. The Information Commissioner’s Office also publishes guidance for the public on cookies at ico.org.uk.
06If this changes
If we introduce any feature that uses cookies or similar technologies, for example visitor statistics or an embedded map, we will update this policy first and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent before anything is stored on your device.
