What we do not use
- No advertising cookies.
- No social media pixels or buttons that load from other sites.
- No identifier that follows you from site to site.
- Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts our visits, sets no cookie.
Under Türkiye’s KVKK and the European ePrivacy rules, storage that is needed for a service you asked for does not need consent. Everything above is of that kind. That is why you see no banner.
Photos from other sites
Story photos load from the sites that published them. To show one, your browser asks that site for it. Your browser settings decide whether that site may read or set its own cookie. Most browsers block this for requests from another site.
If this changes
If we ever add something that does need your permission, such as an advertising partner or an embedded video, three things happen first:
- This notice lists each new cookie, who sets it and why.
- A banner asks you. “Only necessary” is the default choice.
- Nothing from that partner loads until you say yes. You can change your answer on this page at any time.
Clearing it all
Your browser’s settings can delete cookies and site data for gazete.app. The site keeps working without them. You will only need to pick your theme and edition again.
