Cookie Policy

Last updated: 24 October 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve efficiency, and provide information to website owners. This policy covers cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as local storage and pixel tags).

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we handle personal data.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

  • Essential / Strictly Necessary: These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They do not require your consent under the ePrivacy Directive.
  • Analytics / Performance: With your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this website (pages visited, time on site, device type, approximate location). Without your consent no analytics cookies are placed; Google then receives only cookieless signals that cannot recognise you across visits.
  • Marketing / Targeting: We do not use marketing or advertising cookies.

3. Cookies We Use

This marketing website (akarguard.net) sets no essential cookies of its own and uses no advertising trackers. If you allow analytics cookies, Google Analytics sets the _ga cookies below. The only essential cookies in our service are set by the separate dashboard application at dash.akarguard.net, and only after you sign in:

Local storage (not a cookie). Your cookie choice is stored in your browser's local storage, which stays on your device and is never sent to our servers:

4. Your Consent and How to Manage Cookies

When you first visit this website, we show a cookie consent banner. You can choose to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences by category.

You may change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the button below or via the "Cookie Settings" link in the website footer.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this website. For guidance on managing cookies in your browser, visit aboutcookies.org.

5. Third-Party Cookies

With your consent, we use Google Analytics (Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC). Its cookies are set on akarguard.net, and the usage data is processed by Google, possibly outside the EU and Türkiye, under Google's standard contractual clauses. Google Analytics runs in Google's Consent Mode: until you allow analytics cookies it sets no cookies, and withdrawing consent switches its cookies off again and deletes them. We do not use advertising cookies. See Google's Privacy Policy.

6. Legal Basis

Essential cookies are placed on the basis of legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and the exemption under Recital 25 of the ePrivacy Directive, as they are strictly necessary for the provision of the service.

Analytics and marketing cookies are placed only on the basis of your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You have the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please re-visit this page regularly to stay informed. The "Last updated" date at the top will indicate when changes were made.
