Cookie Policy

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar tracking technologies we use on cerebrai-vortx.com and its subdomains (the "Site"), the purposes they serve, and how you can manage your preferences.

For broader privacy information, see our Privacy Policy and the full KVKK notice in our KVKK Notice.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit, used to remember sessions, store preferences, measure performance, and ensure security.

Cookies do not damage your device and typically contain only functional data for the relevant website. You can always delete or block cookies via your browser settings.

For the purposes of this policy, browser storage technologies such as localStorage and sessionStorage are also treated as cookies.

2. Cookie Categories We Use

2.1 Necessary Cookies

Strictly required for core Site functions; cannot be disabled. No consent required (KVKK Art. 5/2-c, GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)/(f)).

•cerebrai-cookie-consent (localStorage) — stores your cookie preferences so we don't ask again on every visit.
•Language preference — remembers your selected interface language.
•__cf_bm (Cloudflare Bot Management) — distinguishes bots from real users; ~30 minute session.
•cf_clearance (Cloudflare) — short-lived clearance after a security challenge.

2.2 Performance / Analytics Cookies

May be used to measure performance and improve user experience. Requires consent; without consent these are not loaded.

No analytics cookies are currently active on the Site. (No Google Analytics, Hotjar, etc.) If an analytics service is added later, this policy will be updated, consent will be re-requested, and details will be listed here.

2.3 Marketing Cookies

Targeted advertising or retargeting cookies are not used. If added, separate explicit consent will be obtained.

3. Third-Party Cookies

The Site runs on Cloudflare infrastructure. Cloudflare may set its own necessary cookies (e.g. __cf_bm) for CDN, DDoS protection, and bot detection. These are security-essential and treated as necessary.

•Cloudflare cookie info: cloudflare.com/cookie-policy

When the Site embeds third-party content (YouTube, Vimeo, Twitter, etc.), those providers may set their own cookies subject to their own privacy policies.

4. Managing Your Preferences

You can update your cookie preferences any time:

•On the Site: Click the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer to reopen the consent panel.
•Browser settings: View, delete, or block cookies via your browser's settings.

Browser-Specific Instructions

Note: Disabling necessary cookies may break some Site features (e.g. your language preference will not be remembered, security checks may re-trigger).

5. Cookie Retention

•Session cookies: deleted when the browser closes.
•Persistent cookies: 30 days to 12 months depending on type.
•Consent record (localStorage): until you change preferences or clear browser data.
•Cloudflare security cookies: typically 30 minutes session / 30 days.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the technologies we use. The "Last Updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. For material changes, the consent panel will be displayed again.
