This Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar technologies (such as browser local storage) used on the bizmo.com.tr website (the “Site”) operated by Bizmo Teknoloji Yatırımları A.Ş. (“Bizmo”), what they are used for and how you can manage your preferences, in line with KVKK No. 6698 and the Personal Data Protection Authority's Guide on Cookie Practices.
1. What Is a Cookie?
Cookies are small text files saved to your browser when you visit a website. The browser's local storage (localStorage) and session storage (sessionStorage) may also be used for similar purposes. In this policy they are all referred to as “cookies”.
2. Cookies We Use
a) Strictly necessary cookies — Required for the Site to work as you request; they do not depend on your consent and cannot be switched off.
- bz_cookie · first party, local storage · until you delete it · Stores your cookie preferences and the date of your choice.
- bz_theme_pref · first party, local storage · until you delete it · Remembers your light/dark view choice, only if you use the theme button.
- bz_session · first-party cookie · up to 12 hours (expires after 15 minutes of inactivity) · Set only for authorised users who sign in to the admin panel; keeps the session secure.
- bz_device · first-party cookie · 30 days · Only in the admin panel; remembers the user's “trust this device” choice.
- Cloudflare security cookies (e.g. __cf_bm, cf_clearance) · third party (Cloudflare) · from 30 minutes to a few days · May be set when traffic to the Site needs to be distinguished from automated attacks.
b) Analytics cookies — Activated only with your explicit consent.
- _ga and _ga_90NQRNHXB4 · third party (Google Analytics 4 — Google LLC / Google Ireland Limited) · up to 2 years (400 days in some browsers) · Distinguishes visitors to measure statistically how the Site is used.
- bz_view_sid · first party, session storage · deleted when the browser session ends · Distinguishes the session for our own visit statistics. Only an irreversible hash is kept on the server; the IP address is not added to this record.
c) Functional and marketing cookies — Not currently used. If they are used in the future, they will be activated only with your explicit consent and this policy will be updated.
d) Cookieless measurement — The Site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics. This tool does not use cookies or device identifiers; it measures page load performance and visit counts in aggregate. In addition, as long as you have not consented to analytics cookies, Google Analytics does not place cookies in your browser; limited, aggregate measurement signals without cookies may be sent under Google's Consent Mode.
3. Legal Ground
Strictly necessary cookies rely on KVKK Art. 5(2)(c) (providing the service you request) and Art. 5(2)(f) (legitimate interest); analytics and — if used — marketing cookies rely on your explicit consent (Art. 5(1)). Transfers abroad through third-party service providers are explained in the Data Protection Notice.
4. Managing Your Preferences and Withdrawing Consent
- On your first visit you can use the “Accept All”, “Reject All” or “Manage Preferences” options in the cookie panel. Checkboxes are never pre-ticked; rejecting does not prevent you from using the Site.
- You can withdraw your consent at any time via the “Cookie Settings” link in the Site footer; on withdrawal, analytics measurement stops and Google Analytics cookies are deleted. Withdrawal has effect for the future.
- You can delete or block cookies and site data in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect some functions of the Site.
- To opt out of Google Analytics measurement on all websites, you can use the browser add-on provided by Google.
5. Changes and Contact
This policy may be updated; the current version takes effect on the date it is published on the Site. For questions: info@bizmo.com.tr.
