Privacy Policy

Burak ÇEKİL ("we" or "us") respects the privacy of our users ("user" or "you"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website — including both burakcekil.com and blog.burakcekil.com, which serve the same content and are collectively referred to as the "Site".

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT ACCESS THE SITE.

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes become effective immediately upon posting the updated policy on the Site. Your continued use of the Site after that date means you accept the changes.

COLLECTION OF YOUR INFORMATION

Derivative Data

Information our servers and the third-party tools we use automatically collect when you access the Site, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, access times, and the pages you view.

Information You Provide Voluntarily

Information you give us of your own accord, such as your email address when you sign up for our newsletter, or your name and comment content when you comment on a post (via Disqus). You are under no obligation to provide this information; not providing it only means you cannot use the related feature (newsletter, comments, etc.).

USE OF YOUR INFORMATION

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate, secure, and maintain the performance of the Site.
• Monitor and analyze usage and trends to improve your experience with the Site.
• Send you a newsletter, if you have requested one.
• Publish your comments and operate the comment system.
• Show you advertising relevant to your interests.

DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION

By Law or to Protect Rights

If we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with the law or to protect the rights and safety of others, we may disclose your information as permitted or required by applicable law.

Third-Party Service Providers

We may share limited information with third parties that perform services on our behalf (hosting, analytics, advertising, comments, email delivery). These providers are listed under "Tracking Technologies" below.

Online Postings

When you post comments to the Site, your posts may be viewed by all users and may be publicly visible outside the Site as well.

TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

Cookies and Web Beacons

We use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies on the Site to help customize and improve your experience. For the full list of cookies we use and how to manage them, please refer to our Cookie Policy, which is incorporated into this Privacy Policy.

Tools We Use

We use the following third-party tools on the Site: Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (usage statistics), Google AdSense (advertising), Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Advertising (behavioral metrics, heatmaps, session replay), Facebook SDK (embedded content and sharing), Disqus (comment system), and YouTube (embedded video players). By accessing the Site, you consent to the collection and use of your information by these third-party providers. We do not transfer your personal information to these providers directly; however, if you do not want information to be collected and used by tracking technologies, you may review the provider's own privacy policy or visit the Digital Advertising Alliance Opt-Out Tool or the Network Advertising Initiative Opt-Out Tool. For more information about how Microsoft collects and uses your data, visit the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

Getting a new device, upgrading your browser, or clearing your cookies may also reset certain opt-out preferences.

THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

The Site may contain links to third-party websites that are not affiliated with us. Information you provide to these third parties after leaving the Site is not covered by this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site before using it.

SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. However, no security measure is perfect, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against interception or misuse.

POLICY FOR CHILDREN

We do not knowingly collect information from or market to children under the age of 13. If you become aware of any data we have collected from children under 13, please contact us using the information below.

DO-NOT-TRACK SIGNALS

You may enable your browser's Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature; however, no common technical standard for recognizing such signals has been widely adopted, so we do not currently respond to DNT signals.
