In accordance with the Law on the Protection of Personal Data No. 6698 published in the Official Gazette dated April 7, 2016, and numbered 29677 (the “Law”), the Communiqué on the Procedures and Principles to be Followed in the Fulfillment of the Disclosure Obligation published in the Official Gazette dated March 10, 2018, and numbered 30356 (the “Communiqué”), and the relevant legislation; we, as the data controller **[DATA CONTROLLER NAME]**, would like to inform our valued customers through this Cookie Information Text regarding your personal data processed through cookies and applications we use while providing services via the website https://www.gunaydinhukuk.com/.

COOKIES

Cookies are small data files containing pieces of information such as usernames and passwords, exchanged between a user’s computer and a web server to identify specific users and improve their browsing experience. Cookies are created when users visit a new website, and the web server sends a short stream of information to the web browsers. These cookies are only sent when the server requests the browser to save them. In this case, the browser remembers the value and sends it back to the server with every subsequent request. If the user returns to this site in the future, the web browser returns this data to the web server in the form of a cookie.

The term “Cookie” originates from the term “magic cookies,” invented by web browser programmer Lou Montulli. These terms refer to packets of information sent and received without modification. The resemblance to the baked cookie is coincidental, but it is also an appropriate analogy.

Cookies can be classified and defined according to their purposes of use, storage periods, and sources.
