Privacy & Cookies

About this translationThis is an English translation of the Turkish page, provided for information. In case of any discrepancy, the Turkish version prevails.

This page explains the cookies, third-party services and privacy practices of the haktantay.com website. For the full personal data protection policy covering the online psychological services, please see the KVKK page.

1. Use of cookies

This site does not use its own analytics cookies, and it contains no other analytics tool, advertising pixel or tracking tool. The one exception is the Google tag (gtag.js) added to the pages to measure Google Ads campaigns. This tag may use Google’s own cookies and identifiers; details are in section 2.

The site itself uses your browser’s localStorage only for the following technical purpose:

2. Third-party services

Google Ads tag (advertising measurement)

A Google tag (gtag.js; ID: AW-18172496319) has been added to the pages of the site to measure Google Ads campaigns (conversion tracking). The tag is loaded from googletagmanager.com. When it loads, Google may place its own cookies or similar identifiers in your browser and may receive data such as the page you visit, your IP address, and your device and browser information. This data is processed by Google LLC under its own privacy policy and may be transferred abroad, including to the United States. The choice you make in the cookie notice banner only stops the notice from appearing again; it does not control whether this tag loads. You can disable the tag with your browser’s tracking protection or a content blocker, and manage your preferences through Google’s ad settings.

Google Fonts (typography)

The site loads the Cormorant Garamond, DM Sans and (on essay pages) EB Garamond fonts from fonts.googleapis.com. On your first visit, your browser’s IP address therefore reaches Google’s servers.
Policy: policies.google.com/privacy

Google Forms (contact form)

Data you send through the contact form is transmitted to Google’s servers via docs.google.com and stored in a linked Google Sheet. Form data is used only to reply to you.

YouTube (videos in essays)

Some essays include official trailers and scenes as YouTube videos. These videos are not loaded when the page opens; they load only when you click the play button, from youtube-nocookie.com, Google’s privacy-enhanced mode. The moment you click, your browser connects to YouTube’s servers.
Policy: policies.google.com/privacy

GitHub Pages (hosting)

The site is hosted on GitHub Pages. Server access logs (IP, browser, requested page, timestamp) are kept by GitHub.
