Effective Date: 03.09.2026

This Cookie Policy explains our practices regarding cookies used on the website https://skykite.com.tr ("SkyKite" or "Platform"). By using the Platform, you accept the use of cookies described in this Policy.

1. What Are Cookies and Why Are They Used?

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser by the websites you visit. Cookies keep your session alive, remember your preferences, ensure the site functions properly, and allow site owners to see anonymously how the site is used. Thanks to cookies, the user experience is personalized and service quality is improved. Since cookies may constitute personal data, they are processed in compliance with the KVKK and related legislation.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

  • Strictly Necessary (Session) Cookies: Required for the site to perform its basic functions; logging in, security verification (CSRF token), language preference, and form operations work through these cookies. When these cookies are disabled, some parts of the Platform cannot be used.
  • Preference Cookies: Remember choices made by the user such as language selection (tr/en) and display preferences; they automatically apply your preferences on your next visit.
  • Analytics/Performance Cookies: Allow us to measure site usage with anonymous statistics (which pages are visited, how many users enter the site, etc.). We use this to improve our content and functionality.
  • Advertising/Marketing Cookies: May be used by Google Ads and similar advertising platforms so that users can be shown interest-based ads related to their previous visits. These cookies come into play only where the relevant services are active.

3. Purposes of Cookies

Cookies are used for the following purposes:

  • Securely carrying out login operations and recognizing the user within the site;
  • Applying security measures (CSRF protection, session audit, bot detection);
  • Remembering language and display preferences;
  • Measuring site performance, error detection, and development work;
  • Anonymous statistics and reporting (Google Analytics etc.);
  • Showing interest-based ads and measuring campaigns (to the extent used).

4. Retention Periods

Cookies are divided into two according to their persistence: Session cookies are deleted when the browser is closed (e.g., PHP session cookie, CSRF token). Persistent cookies remain in your browser for a specific period. The periods of persistent cookies used on the Platform are as follows:

  • Language preference cookie (skykite_lang): 1 year;
  • Device identifier cookies for security purposes: up to 1 year;
  • Analytics cookies (Google Analytics _ga etc.): usually up to 2 years;
  • Advertising cookies (where used): usually 1-24 months according to the provider's policy.

Periods are limited to the time necessary for the relevant cookie's purpose.

5. Third-Party Cookies

The Platform may include cookies of the following third-party services:

  • Google Analytics: For anonymous usage statistics;
  • Google Ads / Google Marketing: For ad measurement and remarketing;
  • Google Tag Manager: For managing analytics and marketing tags;
  • Cloudflare: For security, bot protection, and performance (if applicable).

These cookies are placed by the relevant providers and are subject to their own privacy policies. For detailed information about Google's cookie use, you can review the Google Privacy Policy. If you do not want analytics tracking, you can use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6. How Can You Manage Your Cookie Preferences?

You can block or delete cookies by changing your browser settings. However, when you disable strictly necessary cookies, basic functions of the Platform such as logging in, making offers, and messaging may not work. Cookie management is generally done through the following steps depending on your browser:

  • Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data;
  • Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Site Data;
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions;
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies.

Using your browser's "Incognito/private window" mode also ensures that most cookies are deleted at the end of the session. You can also block certain third-party cookies (e.g., analytics) using add-ons depending on your browser.

7. Your Rights Regarding Cookie Data Processing

Your rights under the KVKK regarding personal data processed through cookies (requesting information, correction, deletion, objection, etc.) are reserved. For detailed information on how to exercise these rights, you can review our Privacy Policy and KVKK Disclosure Text.

8. Policy Changes

This Policy may be updated depending on legal regulations or changes in the cookies used on the Platform. The current Policy is always published on the Platform; announcements may be made on the Platform for significant changes. Last updated: 03.09.2026.
