What Is a Cookie and for What Purposes Is It Used?
A cookie is a small data storage file saved by websites onto the computer, mobile phone, tablet or other mobile device you use to access them. This file stores information about your browsing on the Website. In this way, the devices you use will remember this data when you use the Website again. Cookies are therefore necessary and important for you to use the Website effectively and more easily. Cookies are also used so that we can offer you more suitable services, products or offers on the Website and on third-party websites.
The main purposes of using cookies are:
- Certain technical data are needed for the Website to be used more effectively.
- The School collects information about your browsing and usage preferences and habits on the Website.
- The School needs certain personal data, such as your IP address, in order to fulfil its legal and contractual obligations — in particular those arising from Law No. 5651 on the Regulation of Publications Made on the Internet and Combating Crimes Committed by Means of Such Publications, and the related Regulation on the Procedures and Principles for the Regulation of Publications Made on the Internet.
What Types of Data Do We Process Through Cookies?
Depending on their type, cookies generally collect data about your browsing and usage preferences on the device you use to access the Website. This data covers the pages you access, the services and products you view, and all information about your navigation on the Website.
Which Types of Cookies Do We Use and How?
We use different types of cookies on the Website. These are strictly necessary cookies required for the Website to function, functionality cookies, analytics/performance cookies and targeting/advertising cookies.
Cookie Types by Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the Website to function properly. They are needed for administering the system and preventing fraudulent transactions, and the Website cannot function if they are blocked.
Functionality Cookies: These cookies are used to provide you with a more advanced and easier user experience — for example, remembering your previous preferences or enabling convenient access to certain content on the Website. You can block the use of these cookies as explained in detail below.
Analytics/Performance Cookies: These cookies allow us to analyze and understand how you use the Website and to improve the Website through interaction with you. You can block the use of these cookies as explained in detail below.
Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to identify and present content — including advertising content — that may interest you. You can block the use of these cookies as explained in detail below. However, blocking these cookies will not block advertising content entirely; instead of advertisements likely to interest you, advertisements with general content will be shown.
Cookie Types by Storage Duration
Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on a person’s computer until a specific date or until deleted by the user. They are mostly used to measure users’ site activity and preferences.
Session Cookies: These cookies are used to divide a user’s visit into sessions and do not collect data from the user. The cookie is deleted when the user closes the web page they are visiting or remains inactive for a certain period.
Third-Party Cookies
Targeting and tracking cookies are used on the Website to help third parties provide services — primarily advertising services — and to increase the effectiveness of these services. These cookies can remember the web pages and sites you visit and may collect personal data, primarily the IP address of the user’s device.
The Website uses both first-party and third-party cookies to collect information, remember your interests and demographic data, serve you targeted advertisements, improve advertisements, and determine the number of visits and ad impressions, other uses of advertising services, and the ratio between these ad impressions and interactions with the advertising services.
Social Network Plugins
The Website makes use of social plugins that link to social networks such as Facebook and LinkedIn. When you visit the Website and use these plugins, the Website connects directly to the server of the selected social network. The content offered by the plugin is then transmitted directly from the social networks to your web browser and added to the website you are visiting. In this way, the relevant social network can access and process your data and combine it with the data of your account on that social network.
Important: Please note that we have no influence or control over the scope of the data processed by social networks through plugins. For more information on the purposes, methods and duration for which social networks will process your personal data, please carefully review the personal data processing policies published by the relevant social networks.
