In brief
- Ara Karar itself does not use cookies. It keeps your sign-in and statistics in browser storage (localStorage and sessionStorage).
- We do not use cookies for advertising, targeting, or tracking you on other sites.
- The only third parties that set cookies are Google Analytics, Google reCAPTCHA on the sign-in and sign-up forms, and Stripe on the payment page.
1. What we store in your browser
These stay only on this site, in your browser; they are not shared with any other site.
- Session
- accessToken, refreshToken, authenticated (localStorage). Required to remember that you are signed in. Deleted when you sign out.
- Site statistics
- ak:zk (localStorage) is a random visitor ID, and ak:ot (sessionStorage) is a random session ID. They are used to count, on our own server, which pages are read; they are not linked to you. The visitor ID stays until you delete it; the session ID stays until you close the tab.
- Anonymous search
- ak_oturum (sessionStorage) is a random ID used to group the searches you make without signing in within the same session. Deleted when you close the tab.
- Technical
- ak:chunk-reload (sessionStorage) is a timestamp that makes the page reload only once when the site is updated, so it doesn't get stuck in a loop. Deleted when you close the tab.
2. Third-party cookies
- Google Analytics
- _ga, _ga_TK3EB7SKMR. Google LLC (USA). For visit statistics; loaded on every page and kept for 2 years. Blocking them does not affect how the site works.
- Google reCAPTCHA
- Google LLC (USA). Only on the sign-in and sign-up pages, to block automated (bot) sign-ups. If you block it, the sign-in and sign-up forms will not work.
- Stripe
- Stripe, Inc. (USA). Only during payment, on Stripe's own payment page, to prevent fraud and complete the payment.
- Google Fonts
- The icon font is loaded from Google servers; in the process, your browser connects to Google. It does not set cookies.
3. How you can control them
You can delete or block cookies and site data in your browser settings. Blocking Google Analytics does not break any feature. If you delete site data, you will be signed out. If you block reCAPTCHA, you will not be able to sign in or register.
The data processed through these storage items and their retention periods are described in detail in the Information Notice and Privacy Policy.
4. Changes
