At Faprika, our priority is to make sure your e-commerce platform works in every respect in a KVKK-compliant and efficient way. Cookie management is the key to personalizing the user experience on your website while also acting in line with legal obligations. With the cookie management solution we offer, you can both increase your brand's credibility and give your users a transparent and controllable online experience.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that websites save on users' computers or mobile devices. When you visit a website, the site sends cookies to your browser (for example Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc.). These cookies are stored on your computer so the site can recognize you on later visits.
Basic Functions of Cookies:
Improving the User Experience:
- Remembers users' preferences (for example language selection, login information).
- Keeps the items in shopping carts.
Analytics and Statistics:
- Tracks website traffic and user interactions.
- Used to analyze site performance and make improvements.
Marketing and Advertising:
- Shows ads tailored to users' interests.
- Measures the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

Types:
- Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that are deleted automatically when the browser is closed.
- Persistent Cookies: Remain on the device for a set period or until deleted by the user.
- Third-Party Cookies: Cookies placed by a different domain through a website, generally used for advertising and tracking purposes.
Cookies are important tools for enriching users' internet experience and helping websites work more effectively. However, they must be managed within the framework of user privacy and data protection laws.
The KVKK, or Personal Data Protection Law, is a legal regulation that ensures the protection of individuals' personal data in Türkiye. This law has aims similar to the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and introduces a set of rules and obligations to safeguard data subjects' rights. Compliance with the KVKK is mandatory for all businesses operating in Türkiye, and cookie management is an important part of this process.
Key Elements of KVKK Compliance:
Explicit Consent:
- Processing personal data requires obtaining the explicit consent of the data subject. Since cookies are also considered personal data, websites must obtain explicit consent from users to use cookies.
Obligation to Inform:
- When processing personal data, data controllers must inform data subjects about the purposes of data collection, the types of data processed and their rights. Websites must provide this information through cookie policies or privacy notices.
Rights of the Data Subject:
- Data subjects have the right to learn whether their personal data is being processed, to request information if it has been processed, to learn the purpose of processing and whether it is used in line with that purpose, to know the third parties to whom it is transferred in Türkiye or abroad, to request correction if it is incomplete or incorrectly processed, and to request its deletion or destruction under the conditions set out in Article 7 of the KVKK.
Security Measures:
- All necessary technical and administrative measures must be taken to prevent unlawful processing of personal data, prevent access to it and ensure its safekeeping.
Recommendations for KVKK-Compliant Cookie Management:
- Cookie Consent Mechanism: Set up a clear and understandable cookie consent mechanism where users can manage their cookie preferences.
- Cookie Policy: Publish a detailed and understandable cookie policy on your website. In this policy, explain what purposes cookies are used for and how users can manage their cookie preferences.
- Protecting User Rights: Provide tools that let users easily change their cookie preferences and exercise their rights over their personal data.
Compliance with the KVKK is more than a legal obligation: it is a step that shows the importance you give to your customers' privacy and data and strengthens your brand's reputation.
