Analytics cookies are only used if you accept them. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time with the button below; declining also deletes the Google Analytics and Clarity cookies held on this site. Cookies on Microsoft domains can be deleted in your browser settings.

Non-essential cookies: Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are visited and how often. It is only loaded when you choose “Accept” in the cookie bar. If you do not accept, no request is sent to Google and the cookies below are not created.

The data collected is page views, approximate location (city level), device and browser type, and traffic source. Google Analytics 4 does not store IP addresses. The processor is Google LLC and the data is transferred to Google servers abroad; see the Google Privacy Policy (opens in a new tab). The legal basis is your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a); Turkish KVKK Art. 5(1)).

Non-essential cookies: Microsoft Clarity

We use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use the site and to improve its pages. Clarity records clicks, scrolling and mouse movement and builds session recordings and heatmaps from them. It too is only loaded when you choose “Accept” in the cookie bar. If you do not accept, no request is sent to Microsoft and the cookies below are not created.

This site runs no advertising or remarketing; Google Analytics’ advertising features are switched off and Clarity is not granted ad storage. Even so, the MUID cookie set through Clarity may also be used by Microsoft for advertising, as described above.

Preferences kept in your browser (not cookies)

The following is kept in your browser’s local storage, never sent to a server, and independent of the cookie bar; it is needed for the site to work:

  • cookie-consent — your answer to the cookie bar, so it does not reappear on every visit.
  • redirect-matcher-settings — the threshold, weight and output format preferences in the Redirect Mapping Tool. Your URL lists are not stored.

You can delete these at any time by clearing the site data in your browser.

Third-party content

Some blog posts embed a Spotify podcast episode. The embedded player only loads on that page, and Spotify may use its own cookies under its own policy: Spotify Cookie Policy (opens in a new tab).
