Cookie Notice

Hello. As istanbulgirls.com, we would like to show our respect for your digital privacy and personal space. This page is here to explain to you in great detail how and why we use technologies called “cookies” during your visit to our website, in a language free of complicated technical jargon. Our aim is not only to fulfill a legal obligation, but also to make you feel that you have full control over your data.

1. Let’s Start From the Beginning: What Are Cookies?

You can think of cookies as little digital notes that a website leaves on your browser to “remember” you and your preferences. Technically, they are harmless text files stored on your computer or mobile device. When you revisit a site, your browser sends this note back to the site. So the site can say, “Yes, I know this visitor. He previously selected Turkish as his language and preferred dark mode.”

The main function of cookies is to make the web experience more fluid and personalized. Without them, you would be greeted on every new page you browsed on a site as if you were visiting the site for the first time. For example, products you added to a shopping cart would disappear instantly when you moved on to another page. Cookies prevent this kind of digital memory loss.

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary notes. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser. They are only used for tasks such as verifying your identity during your active visit or keeping a current view of the products in your cart.
  • Persistent Cookies: These notes remain on your device even after you close your browser. They have a certain duration (for example 30 days) and are deleted when this period is up. They are used to store settings such as the “Remember Me” option or your language preferences.
  • First-Party Cookies: These are cookies created directly by the website you are visiting, namely istanbulgirls.com. They are usually critical to the basic functionality of the site.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies placed by a different domain (for example an analytics service or social media plugin) instead of the site you are visiting. We are particularly sensitive about this issue and detail our policy below.

2. Our Cookie Philosophy: Privacy and Purposeful Use

We are aware of the sensitivity of our services (“istanbul escorts”, “istanbul escort girls” etc.). Therefore, the basis of our cookie policy is the principle of maximum privacy and minimum data collection. We have designed our site to provide a clean and secure experience, free from unnecessary trackers and data collectors. Every cookie we use has a clear and legitimate purpose, and these purposes are only to improve your experience or to ensure the secure and efficient operation of our site. We do not host third-party cookies that aggressively collect data for marketing or profiling purposes on our site.

3. Types of Cookies We Use on Our Site and Their Functions

We would like to present you the cookies we use by categorizing them clearly according to their functions:

3.1. Mandatory Cookies (Must-Have)

These cookies are absolutely necessary for the basic functions of our site to work. Without them, you cannot navigate the site securely or receive basic services. These cookies do not collect information that would reveal your personal identity.

  • Session Management: To ensure consistency between the pages you visit during your visit.
  • Security: To protect both you and our infrastructure by preventing fraudulent requests and cyber-attacks.
  • Load Balancing: To ensure that the site operates quickly and without interruption by distributing server traffic in a balanced manner.

Your consent is not legally required for these cookies, because we cannot provide the service you have requested without them.

3.2. Performance and Analysis Cookies

These cookies help us measure and improve the performance of our site. They allow us to understand which pages are more popular, how visitors navigate the site and where they have difficulty with completely anonymous data. For example, we can detect and fix when a page loads too slowly or a link does not work with this data.

All data collected is combined and never associated with a single person. Our goal is to analyze the overall user experience, not you. Accepting these cookies means that you help us provide you with a better and more trouble-free website.

3.3. Functionality Cookies

These cookies are helpers that make the site more personal and useful. They save you from having to make the same settings every time you visit the site by remembering the choices you make.

  • Language Preferences: Remember the language you want to view the site in.
  • Regional Settings: May help us deliver content or settings specific to your region.
  • Appearance Options: Store preferences, if any, such as your chosen theme (light/dark mode) or text size.

4. You Have Complete Control: How to Manage Cookies

We want you to be clear: You are the one who decides which cookies are used. We offer you a variety of mechanisms to provide you with this control.

  • Our Cookie Consent Tool: The cookie banner that appears when you first visit our site allows you to ask which categories of cookies you want to allow. You can enable or disable all but the mandatory cookies as you wish. You can change these preferences at any time on this policy page or by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the site footer.
  • Browser Settings: All modern web browsers you use offer comprehensive options for managing cookies. You can change the settings on your browser to:
    • Block all cookies.
    • Allow cookies only from specific sites.
    • Enable you to be asked before a cookie is set.
