Cookie Policy
This site uses only the cookies needed to make it work. Here is what they are, how long they last and how to manage them.
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file saved in your browser when you visit a site. It lets the site remember you, keep your session and run security checks. Your browser's local storage may be used for the same purpose.
2. Cookies used on this site
All of the cookies below are first-party: they are set by our own domain and are not shared with third parties. All are strictly necessary — the site's core functions do not work without them.
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Lifetime | Consent required? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| .AspNetCore.Antiforgery.* | Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection on forms | Necessary | Browser session | No |
| .AspNetCore.Mvc.CookieTempDataProvider | Shows one-off status messages after a form submission, such as “saved” or “invalid login” | Necessary | Browser session | No |
| carikci-cart | Links your cart to your browser; created only when you add an item | Necessary | 30 days | No |
| CarikciCustomer | Customer account session; created only when you sign in | Necessary | 8 hours | No |

| .AspNetCore.Culture | Interface language selected inside the admin panel; authorised staff only | Necessary | 1 year | No |
| carikci-theme (browser local storage, not a cookie) | Your light/dark theme preference | Preference | Until you clear it | No |
All of the cookies above are strictly necessary to deliver the service you requested, so under article 5 of Law no. 6698 they may be used without explicit consent; we nevertheless inform you about them here.
Language on the public site is selected through the address (/tr/ and /en/); no cookie is used for a visitor's language preference.
3. International data transfers
Because no third-party cookies are used and no external tracking code is loaded, no personal data is transferred abroad through cookies. Cookie data is processed only on the server hosting this site.
4. Non-essential cookies
There are currently no analytics, advertising or social tracking cookies on this site, and no third-party tracking code is loaded. If any are added later they will default to off, will run only with your consent through the cookie notice, and this table will be updated.
5. Managing your preferences
Your choice in the cookie notice is stored for 6 months. You can change it at any time through the “Cookie preferences” link in the site footer.
You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies may break sign-in, the cart and form submissions.
