What is a Cookie?

A cookie (“Cookie” or “Identification File”) is a small piece of data (a text file) that a website you visit asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as language preference or login details. Cookies enable the website you visit to store information on your device and use that information during your subsequent visits. Cookies created by a website are stored by the browser you use to access the site, and cookies do not contain personal data such as names, gender, or addresses of visitors. The information contained in cookies can only be accessed by the same web browser and by the domain of the website that created the specific cookie (e.g., buyuk-energy-kls.tr).

Today, cookies have become an essential part of internet technologies. Their primary functions include remembering the preferences of online visitors and recognizing the device during connection, and the use of cookies on websites is widespread.

Who Places Cookies and How?

Cookies are placed on your device via communication established between your internet browser (such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.) and the web servers of buyuk-energy-kls during your browsing on websites.

Types of Cookies

Types of cookies based on their duration: On our website, we use session cookies and persistent cookies based on their duration. Session cookies, also known as temporary cookies, are used to maintain the continuity of the session and are deleted once the user closes their browser. Persistent cookies, on the other hand, are not deleted when the browser is closed and are automatically deleted either on a specific date or after a set period. In this context, both session and persistent cookies are used on our website depending on their duration.

Types of cookies based on their parties: (first-party and third-party cookies) The distinction between first-party and third-party cookies depends on which website or domain places the cookie. First-party cookies are placed directly by the website visited by the user, that is, the website address displayed in the browser's address bar (buyuk-energy-kls.tr). Third-party cookies, however, are placed by a domain other than the one the user is visiting, for example, by third parties who are partners of buyuk-energy-kls for purposes such as targeting/advertising or analytics. In this context, both first-party and third-party cookies are used on our website based on their parties.

Types of Cookies Based on Their Purposes: At buyuk-energy-kls, we use four types of cookies based on their purposes. These are: (i) Essential/Necessary Cookies, (ii) Performance/Analytical Cookies, (iii) Functional Cookies, and (iv) Targeting/Marketing Cookies.

1) Essential/Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the functioning of our website and cannot be disabled in our systems. Essential cookies are required to provide the requested information society services (e.g., logging in, filling out forms, remembering privacy preferences). Additionally, performance and analytical cookies allow us to count visitors and measure traffic on our site, and these are first-party cookies. This helps us measure and improve the performance of our site. These cookies help us understand which pages are the most and least popular on our site and contain anonymous information (with measures like IP masking to prevent personal data from being transferred).

2) Performance/Analytical Cookies: These cookies help us monitor and analyze visits and traffic on our site to measure and improve its performance. They allow us to determine which pages are the most and least popular and observe how users navigate the site. In other words, these cookies serve the purpose of tracking and reporting. However, if the data collected by these cookies is anonymized and used only for essential/necessary purposes, they are classified as essential cookies. If you do not allow these cookies, tracking and reporting of your interests by third parties, such as Google, cannot be conducted.

3) Functional Cookies: These cookies allow for enhanced functionality and personalization on our website. Functional cookies may be placed by buyuk-energy-kls or third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow functional cookies, some or all of these services may not work properly. For example: remembering the products added to your cart.

4) Targeting/Marketing Cookies: These cookies are used to offer products tailored to your preferences and interests and are placed on our site by our advertising partners. Targeting cookies can be used by our advertising partners to create a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites. Targeting cookies do not store your personal data directly; however, they allow your browser and internet device to be identifiable. If you do not allow targeting cookies, you are less likely to encounter targeted advertisements. For example: personalized product recommendations based on frequently visited products.
