1. What Is a Cookie?
Cookies are small information files that may be stored on your device through your browser when you visit a website. They can help the website perform its essential functions, operate securely, remember your choices and improve your experience.
Cookies differ according to their purposes and retention periods. Some are deleted at the end of a visit, while others may remain on your device for a defined period. You can view, restrict or delete them through your browser settings.
2. What Types of Cookies Do We Use?
Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the secure and proper operation of the website, the display of pages, the application of security measures and the preservation of your privacy choices. Some essential website functions may not operate correctly without them.
Necessary cookies are used only to the extent required to provide the service and protect information security. They therefore cannot be disabled through the preference centre.
Preference Cookies
These help remember choices such as language, appearance or similar usage preferences, allowing the website to provide an experience more suited to your choices on later visits.
Preference cookies are optional and are used only if you allow them.
Analytics Cookies
These help us understand in general terms how visitors use the website. Information such as pages visited, frequency of use and general interactions may be assessed statistically to improve website performance and user experience.
Analytics cookies are used only according to your choice. Refusing them does not prevent you from using the website’s essential functions.
Marketing Cookies
These may be used to measure the effectiveness of advertising and promotional activities, provide content aligned with interests or evaluate campaign performance.
Marketing cookies are optional and may be used only if you expressly allow them. Consent for commercial electronic communications is assessed separately from cookie preferences.
3. Why Do We Use Cookies?
Depending on their nature, cookies may be used to:
- Keep the website secure, available and operating properly
- Provide pages and essential website functions correctly
- Remember privacy and usage preferences
- Measure and improve website performance
- Assess visitor traffic in aggregate and statistical form
- Improve user experience and make content clearer
- Measure advertising and campaign effectiveness where permission has been given
- Help prevent security incidents, misuse and unusual activity
Information obtained through cookies is used in a relevant, limited and proportionate manner and is not processed for purposes incompatible with those for which it was collected.
4. Third-Party Services
Web analytics services such as Google Analytics may be used to assess website use statistically and improve service quality. These services are used in line with your preferences and only where you permit the relevant category.
Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy terms, including outside Türkiye. Sofbux considers data security and privacy when selecting providers and limits their use in accordance with the principles of purpose limitation and proportionality.
You may review the provider’s current privacy notice for further information about its privacy practices.
5. How Can You Manage Your Cookie Preferences?
On your first visit, you can accept, reject or make category-based choices for optional cookies through the cookie preference panel. Continuing to browse without making a choice does not mean that you allow optional cookies.
You can later change your choice or withdraw a previous permission using the “Cookie Settings” button in the footer. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
You may also view, delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Changing these settings may prevent some website features from operating as expected. The available controls vary by browser and device.
