Cookie policy
This cookie policy explains how www.cloudbilisim.com.tr uses cookies, what they do, how long they are retained and how you can change your preferences. A cookie is a small text file stored by your browser when you visit a website.
There are two types of cookies on the site: those that are mandatory for the operation and security of the site, and those that are analytical and only placed with your consent. We do not use cookies for advertising or profiling purposes.
Effective date: August 25, 2026
Which Cookies Are on the Site?
The table below has been verified from the live source of the site; a cookie not listed means it is not used on the site.
| Cookie | Category | Who sets it | Duration | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| __cf_bm | Mandatory | Cloudflare | 30 minutes | Distinguishes bot traffic from human traffic, prevents attacks |
| cf_clearance | Mandatory | Cloudflare | Session / up to 1 year | Remembers that you have passed the security verification, not asked repeatedly |
| Cloudflare Turnstile records | Mandatory | Cloudflare | Temporary, for the duration of form submission | Prevents the contact form from being filled by automated software |
| cldss_consent | Mandatory | Cloud Bilişim | 6 months | Stores your choice in the cookie banner, not asked again on each visit |
| wordpress_test_cookie, wp-settings-* | Mandatory | Cloud Bilişim (WordPress) | Session / 1 year | It only occurs on the admin login, it is not placed on the visitor side |
| _ga | Analytics | Google Analytics 4 | 2 years | It distinguishes whether the visitor is returning or new |
| _ga_8Q9F4TSEYB | Analytics | Google Analytics 4 | 2 years | It keeps the session status and count |
Besides these on our contact page the embedded Google Maps component may place its own cookies when you interact with the map. These cookies belong to Google and cannot be read by us.
Why Can’t I Disable Mandatory Cookies?
Mandatory cookies are not a choice; they are a condition for the site to function. Without them, security verification is repeated on every request, the contact form remains vulnerable to bot attacks, and your cookie preferences are not remembered. There are no cookies in this category that track your visiting habits, create profiles, or are shared for advertising purposes. If you want to completely block them, you can do so from your browser settings; in this case, some parts of the site may not work properly.
When Do Analytical Cookies Get Placed?
We use Google Analytics 4 on the site for visit statistics (measurement ID G-8Q9F4TSEYB). Analytical cookies are only set if you give consent on the cookie banner. As long as you do not give or refuse consent, Google Analytics does not set cookies; measurement works only in an anonymous and aggregated manner.
We use this data not to identify individuals but to see which pages are effective. Analytical data is automatically deleted by Google after 14 months.
How Do I Change My Cookie Preferences?
When you first visit the site, a cookie banner appears at the bottom of the screen. The banner has three options:
- Accept All — allows mandatory and analytical cookies.
- Reject All — only mandatory cookies remain, Google Analytics cookie is not set.
- Settings — You can open and close the categories one by one and save your selection.
Your selection is retained for 6 months. You can change your decision at any time: at the bottom of the page Cookie settings the link reopens the banner. Revoking consent is as easy as giving it and can be done with a single click.
How Do I Delete or Block Cookies from the Browser?
Browser settings operate independently of the cookie banner and apply to all sites:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Third-party cookies / Clear site data
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage cookies and site data
If you only want to disable the Google Analytics measurement, you can install Google’s official browser add-on (Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on); this add-on disables Analytics measurement on all sites you visit.
Which Data Do Cookies Carry?
Cookies themselves do not carry information such as name, email, or phone; they hold a random ID and technical values. However, when evaluated together with IP address and device information, they can be considered personal data. Therefore, we also consider cookies as part of our privacy approach. You can check the page for all collected data, retention periods, and parties with whom it is shared in the Privacy Policy , and you can check the page KVKK Disclosure Text for your rights under KVKK.
Does this Policy Change?
When the tools we use on the site change, the table also changes. If a new cookie is added, it will be listed here and the effective date will be updated. If you encounter a cookie that you do not see in the table, please notify us, and we will review and correct it.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cookies
What happens if I don’t select anything in the cookie band?
Analytical cookies are not set. Until consent is given, Google Analytics does not write cookies; measurement works anonymously. Only security and technical cookies remain. The band is shown on every visit until a selection is made.
Can I withdraw my consent after giving it?
Yes. The Cookies settings link at the bottom of the page reopens the banner; when you close a category and save, the analytics cookies stop being placed. If you want to delete old cookies stored in your browser, you can clear them from the browser settings.
Do you use advertising or remarketing cookies?
No. There are no Meta/Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, or Google Ads remarketing tags on the site. The components that send data outside the site are only Google Analytics, embedded Google Maps, and Cloudflare security services.
Why are Cloudflare cookies considered mandatory?
Site traffic passes through Cloudflare. The __cf_bm and cf_clearance cookies are necessary to distinguish bot traffic and remember security verification; if they are disabled, the verification is repeated on every request, and the site becomes unusable. These cookies do not track your browsing habits.
If I completely block the cookies, will the site work?
Pages open, but some functions may be broken: security verification may appear repeatedly, sending the contact form may fail, and the banner will appear on every visit because your cookie preference is not remembered.
How long is Google Analytics data stored?
Visit data is automatically deleted by Google after 14 months. The lifespan of the _ga and _ga_8Q9F4TSEYB cookies in the browser is 2 years; they are not renewed if you withdraw consent and can be deleted from the browser settings.
Why does the banner appear at the bottom of the screen on a mobile device?
On desktop, the banner is displayed as a small card at the bottom right, while on mobile it is displayed full-width at the bottom of the screen, so that the buttons can be easily pressed on small screens. In both cases, the banner does not lock the page, and you can continue reading.
We want to set up a cookie banner on our own site, can you help?
We are doing. Extracting the cookie inventory, setting up the consent banner, Go Google Consent Mode compliance, and preparing KVKK texts are tasks we do frequently. We can review the current status of your site and tell you what is needed;
