Cookie Policy

Last updated: 1 June 2026  ·  Applies to: tanerkayaci.com

tanerkayaci uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on its website to improve your browsing experience, understand how visitors engage with our recipes and food content, and occasionally to deliver relevant promotions. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and how you can control them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device on subsequent visits and remember certain information — such as your language preference or the items you've bookmarked. Cookies cannot run programmes or deliver viruses; they simply store data.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary

These cookies are essential for the website to function. Without them, services like navigation, secure page access, and your cookie-consent choice cannot operate.

  • Session management (keeps you logged in)
  • Cookie-consent preference storage
  • Security tokens (CSRF protection)

These cookies cannot be disabled.

Analytics & Performance

These cookies help us understand how visitors use tanerkayaci — which recipes are most popular, how long people spend on a page, and where they navigate next. All data is aggregated and anonymised.

  • Google Analytics (_ga, _gid, _gat) — page views, session duration
  • Internal heatmap tracking — scroll depth on recipe pages

Marketing & Preferences

These cookies track your browsing habits across sites so that we (and our advertising partners) can show you more relevant content and ads related to Turkish cuisine and tanerkayaci.

  • Google Ads / DoubleClick — ad targeting and conversion measurement
  • Meta Pixel — interest-based advertising on Facebook and Instagram
  • Preference cookies — saved recipe filters and display language

3. Why We Use Cookies

  • To ensure core site functionality and security
  • To remember your preferences and personalise content
  • To measure and improve the performance of our pages
  • To deliver relevant promotions about tanerkayaci content and events

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages (e.g. embedded YouTube recipe videos, Google Fonts, or social sharing buttons). These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies; tanerkayaci does not control them. We recommend reviewing the policies of Google, Meta, and YouTube if you have concerns about their tracking practices.

5. How to Manage & Disable Cookies

You are in control. You can manage cookie preferences in several ways:

  • Cookie banner — when you first visit, choose which categories to accept or reject.
  • Browser settings — most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via Settings → Privacy.
  • Opt-out tools — use Google Analytics Opt-out or the NAI Opt-out tool for ad networks.
Please note: Disabling strictly necessary cookies will affect site functionality. Disabling analytics or marketing cookies will not prevent you from using the site but may reduce the relevance of content shown to you.

6. Your Consent

When you visit tanerkayaci for the first time, a consent banner will appear. By clicking "Accept All" you consent to the placement of all cookie categories described above. You may click "Manage Preferences" to give granular consent. Strictly necessary cookies are placed regardless of consent, as they are essential to the site's operation. You may withdraw or change your consent at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time — for example, when we add new features or when legal requirements change. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of tanerkayaci after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. For significant changes, we may also notify you via a banner on the site.
