1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website operators.
Cookies allow websites to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and provide a personalized experience. They can also be used for analytics and advertising purposes.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, local storage, and session storage. These technologies serve similar purposes to cookies and are covered by this policy.
2. How We Use Cookies
The sefdek.com website is a static informational site. We aim to keep our use of cookies minimal. However, the following types of cookies may be set when you visit our website:
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as page navigation and access to secure areas. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
- Session state management (temporary, deleted when you close your browser)
- Security and fraud prevention tokens
- Hosting platform operational cookies (e.g., Netlify, Cloudflare)
These cookies do not require your consent as they are strictly necessary for the site to operate.
2.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your language or theme preferences) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. Our website uses functional cookies to store your dark/light theme preference and language selection (EN/TR) in your browser's local storage.
2.3 Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics services to understand how visitors interact with our website — such as which pages are most visited, how long visitors spend on pages, and where they come from. This helps us improve the website.
Analytics tools we may use include:
- Google Analytics: Collects anonymized data about website traffic and user behavior. Data is sent to Google servers. Google Privacy Policy
Analytics cookies are only placed with your consent where required by applicable law. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
2.4 Advertising Cookies
Our website itself does not serve display advertising. However, if you visit our website after using one of our apps, advertising partners (such as Google AdMob) may set cookies related to the advertising ecosystem.
Advertising cookies may be used to:

- Limit how many times you see the same ad
- Build a profile of your interests for targeted advertising on other websites and apps
You can control Google's advertising cookies at https://adssettings.google.com.
3. Mobile App Tracking Technologies
Our mobile applications do not use browser cookies. Instead, they may use equivalent mobile tracking technologies:
- Android Advertising ID (GAID): A resettable, unique identifier provided by Google for advertising purposes within mobile apps.
- App-level local storage: Data stored within the app on your device (e.g., your app progress and settings). This data is not accessible to other apps or websites.
- Firebase SDK: Used for analytics and crash reporting.
- AdMob SDK: Used for displaying in-app advertisements.
For full details on data collected within our apps, see our Privacy Policy.

- Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They enable basic website navigation.
