Last Updated: October 11, 2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used in connection with alperxalp.com (the “Website”).

The Website is owned and operated by Alper Alp, based in Ankara, Türkiye.

The Website uses Wix as its hosting and website management platform.

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to support essential Website functions, maintain security, remember preferences, provide optional features, and, where legally permitted, understand Website usage.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with the Privacy Policy.

For questions regarding cookies or personal information, contact:

hello@alperxalp.com

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on a device when a website is accessed.

They allow websites and their service providers to store or retrieve certain information relating to a browser, device, or browsing session.

Cookies may support security, navigation, technical performance, user preferences, and additional features.

Cookies may contain identifiers that constitute personal data under applicable law.

3. Types of Cookies

3.1. Session Cookies

Session cookies generally remain active during a browser session and expire when that session ends.

They are commonly used for temporary technical functions, security, and session-related operations.

3.2. Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on a device for a specified period or until removed.

They may be used to retain preferences or support functions that require information to persist between visits.

3.3. First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are associated with the Website or the infrastructure serving it.

3.4. Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies may be associated with services integrated into the Website, such as analytics tools, embedded content, or external applications.

Their use depends on the integrations actually enabled.

4. Categories and Purposes of Cookies

4.1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies support essential Website functions.

Their purposes may include:

Website security.
Protection against unauthorized access.
Prevention of fraud and abuse.
Session management.
Network and platform stability.
Essential service operations.
Technical functions necessary to deliver the Website.
Recording legally relevant cookie preferences.

Where a valid legal exemption applies, strictly necessary cookies may operate without prior consent.

Only cookies that meet the applicable legal requirements may be treated as strictly necessary.

4.2. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies support additional features or preferences that are not necessarily essential for basic Website operation.

They may be associated with optional functionality, selected integrations, or user preferences.

Where required by law, consent must be obtained before these cookies are activated.

4.3. Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics and performance technologies may be used to understand how visitors interact with the Website.

Depending on the enabled services, such technologies may process information concerning page views, navigation, technical performance, and general usage patterns.

Analytics cookies requiring consent will not be intentionally activated before valid permission is obtained.

The inclusion of this category does not mean every possible analytics service is active.

4.4. Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Marketing cookies may be used by advertising or promotional integrations if such services are enabled in the future.

Their purposes may include measuring advertising performance, understanding campaign interactions, or supporting advertising-related functions.

Where applicable law requires prior consent, such technologies must remain disabled until the relevant consent has been obtained.

This section does not imply that behavioral advertising or remarketing is currently active on the Website.

5. Wix Platform Cookies

The Website is built using Wix.

Wix identifies several cookies associated with its platform's essential functions.

Depending on the Website configuration, these may include:

Cookie NameGeneral PurposeWix-Documented Duration

XSRF-TOKENProtection against certain fraudulent requestsSession

hsLegacy platform security functionSession

svSessionSecurity, stability, and essential Website functionality12 months

SSR-cachingWebsite rendering and performance24 hours

fedops.logger.sessionIdTechnical error monitoring and service resilience12 months

wixSessionSecurity, stability, and core functionality12 months

Wix may use additional cookies, including cookies related to API protection, session identification, platform experiments, and browser security capabilities.

This table describes examples published by Wix. It is not a claim that every listed cookie is active on alperxalp.com or that no additional cookies exist.

The actual cookie inventory depends on the Website configuration, platform updates, activated services, and installed integrations.

Cookie classifications and durations may change as the underlying services are updated.

A current Website-specific cookie inventory should be maintained through the applicable consent management and cookie scanning tools.

6. Cookie Consent and Legal Basis

The use of cookies must comply with applicable data protection and electronic privacy requirements.

Under Turkish data protection law, strictly necessary cookies may be processed without explicit consent where an appropriate statutory processing condition applies.

Non-essential cookies, including analytics or advertising cookies, require an appropriate legal basis. Where valid consent is required, an opt-in mechanism must be used.

Where consent is required, it must be:

Freely given.
Specific.
Informed.
Expressed through an affirmative action.
Capable of being withdrawn.

Silence, inactivity, continued browsing, or preselected optional cookie settings do not independently establish valid consent.

Rejecting non-essential cookies must not prevent access to general informational content where those cookies are unnecessary for that content.

7. Cookie Consent Management

The Website uses Wix infrastructure, which supports cookie consent management through Usercentrics for Wix.

The consent management mechanism is intended to provide visitors with relevant information and choices regarding non-essential cookies.

Where required, visitors must be able to accept, reject, or customize optional cookie categories.

Consent preferences must be respected by the relevant technologies.

Non-essential technologies requiring prior consent must not be intentionally activated before the required permission has been obtained.

Where a consent preference mechanism is provided, visitors should be able to revisit and modify their choices without unreasonable difficulty.

8. Withdrawing Consent and Changing Preferences

Visitors may withdraw or modify cookie consent at any time.

Where available, preferences can be changed through the Website's Cookie Preferences control.

Visitors may also delete stored cookies or restrict future cookies through their browser settings.

Deleting cookies may remove previously stored consent preferences and cause the consent interface to reappear.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing performed before withdrawal.

Where withdrawal concerns identifiable personal information retained for another purpose, the applicable data protection rights and legal requirements remain relevant.

If the Website's cookie preference control is unavailable or inaccessible, visitors may contact hello@alperxalp.com for assistance.

9. Third-Party Technologies and Integrations

Certain Website features may rely on third-party technologies.

Examples may include:

Website analytics services.
Embedded videos or media.
External forms or scheduling services.
Maps.
Social media integrations.
Marketing or advertising tools.
Other applications integrated into Wix.

These services may process technical information or use their own cookies and similar technologies.

Their actual use depends on the features enabled on the Website.

Some third-party scripts and custom integrations may not be automatically controlled by Wix's consent banner.

Where an integration requires prior consent, appropriate technical controls must be established before it is activated.

Visitors may also be subject to the privacy policies of third-party services when they independently access those services.

10. Similar Tracking Technologies

The Website or its service providers may use technologies other than traditional browser cookies.

These may include local storage, session storage, pixels, and other technical identifiers.

Such technologies may be subject to data protection and consent requirements comparable to those applying to cookies.

The use of a different technical mechanism does not remove an otherwise applicable consent obligation.

11. Cookie Duration and Retention

Cookies may have different lifetimes depending on their purpose and configuration.

Session cookies generally expire when the relevant browser session ends.

Persistent cookies remain until their configured expiration date or until deleted, subject to technical and legal requirements.

Where consent records are retained to demonstrate compliance, they must be kept only for an appropriate period supported by a valid legal basis.

Technical information obtained through cookies is subject to the retention principles described in the Privacy Policy.

12. International Data Processing

Wix and certain authorized service providers operate internationally.

Information processed through cookies and Website infrastructure may be transferred to or accessed from countries outside Türkiye.

Where cookie-related information constitutes personal data, international transfers are subject to the applicable requirements of KVKK and, where relevant, the GDPR.

Further information is available in the Privacy Policy.

13. Browser Settings and Privacy Controls

Most browsers allow visitors to review, block, restrict, or delete cookies.

Browser settings may also offer controls relating to cross-site tracking and other privacy features.

The availability and effectiveness of these controls depend on the browser and the technologies involved.

Blocking essential cookies may affect Website functionality.

Browser-level controls do not replace a legally required Website consent mechanism.

Where an applicable law requires recognition of a specific browser-based privacy signal, that requirement must be respected.

14. External Websites

Links to external websites, including those operated by Tinkwyz Danışmanlık Çözümleri A.Ş., Multitasking Ninja LLC, and unrelated third parties, may lead to services operating under separate cookie policies.

This Cookie Policy does not govern cookies independently placed by those external websites after a visitor accesses them.

15. Updates to This Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated to reflect changes in Website technologies, cookie classifications, service providers, or applicable legal requirements.

The latest version will be published on this page with a revised date.

Where changes require renewed consent, an appropriate consent mechanism must be used.
