# Privacy and Cookie Policy


**Data controller:** Furkan Köykıran. Contact: furkankoykiran [at] gmail.com

This blog is a static site with no accounts, forms or ads. Data about your visit is processed only by the tools below and only to improve the site.

## Data and tools

| Tool | Purpose | Cookies | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 | Visit statistics | `_ga`, `_ga_*` (only with your consent) | 14 months |
| Microsoft Clarity | Usability, heatmaps, session recordings | `_clck`, `_clsk` (only with your consent) | 1 year / 1 day |
| Cloudflare Web Analytics | Cookieless page views and performance | None | — |
| giscus (GitHub Discussions) | Comments; loaded only when the comment section is opened | Your GitHub session | GitHub's policy |

Without your consent no analytics cookies are written; Google Analytics then sends cookieless, anonymous pings. Your choice is stored for 6 months in a strictly necessary cookie named `fk_consent`.

## Legal basis

Your **explicit consent** for analytics cookies (KVKK art. 5/1, GDPR art. 6(1)(a)). Legitimate interest for cookieless measurement needed to run the site.

## International transfers

Google, Microsoft, Cloudflare and GitHub may process data on servers in the United States, based on your explicit consent under KVKK art. 9.

## Your rights

Under KVKK art. 11 and the GDPR you can ask whether your data is processed, request correction or deletion, and object. You can withdraw consent at any time with the **Cookie settings** link in the footer, or write to the address above.
