Cookie Policy
Last updated: 13 November 2026
This policy explains which cookies encode.com.tr uses, why, and how you can manage your choices. The site is run by Encode Digital Solutions ("Encode"). For how personal data collected through cookies is processed, see our Privacy Notice.
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file saved in your browser when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as pixels and local storage, are covered by this policy too.
2. Cookie categories
Essential — always on
Needed for the site to run securely, to remember your cookie choice and to protect the form from spam. They don't depend on consent. If you block them in your browser, parts of the site may not work.
Analytics — only with your consent
Google Analytics 4 (GA4) tells us which pages are visited, where visitors come from and how often the form is sent. GA4 does not log IP addresses, and we use the data in aggregate reports.
Marketing — only with your consent
Meta Pixel and Google Ads tags show us which visits and enquiries our ads bring in, and help us show our ads to people likely to be interested. These are third-party cookies that can recognise you across other sites.

If you click "Accept" or switch a category on in Preferences, the matching signals change to granted. If you reject, no analytics or advertising cookies are set. Meta Pixel only loads once you allow marketing cookies.
