This Cookie Policy is intended to inform you about the cookies and similar technologies placed on your device when you visit the www.1rides.com.tr website; to explain which data is processed through these technologies, for what purposes, and how you can manage them.

What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device (computer, phone, tablet) through your browser by the websites you visit. Cookies are widely used for purposes such as maintaining your session, remembering your preferences, measuring site usage, and improving content. On their own, cookies do not directly reveal your identity; however, when combined with other information, they may constitute personal data.

In addition to cookies, our site may also use pixels, local storage (localStorage), and similar tracking technologies. In this Policy, the term "cookie" also covers these similar technologies.

Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize cookies into three main groups according to their function and purpose of use:

1. Strictly Necessary (Technical) Cookies

These are cookies that are essential for the website to function properly. Session management, security, form submission, language/theme preference, and basic navigation functions are provided through these cookies. These cookies cannot be disabled; if they are turned off, some parts of the site may not work. Strictly necessary cookies are used without seeking explicit consent, based on the legal grounds of legitimate interest and the provision of the service under KVKK.

2. Performance / Analytics Cookies

These are cookies that help us understand how visitors use the site. Statistical information such as which pages are visited, time spent on the site, and possible error points is collected through these cookies and used to improve our content. Google Analytics may be used on our site for this purpose. These cookies are only activated with your explicit consent.

3. Marketing / Targeting Cookies

These are cookies used to present content and advertisements relevant to your interests and to measure advertising performance (e.g. Google Ads conversion tracking). These cookies are only activated with your explicit consent, and you may withdraw your consent at any time.

Data Processed Through Cookies and Its Purposes

Through cookies, data such as IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, and session and preference information may be processed. This data is processed for the purposes of operating and securing the site, measuring usage statistics, remembering preferences, and (subject to your consent) carrying out advertising/marketing activities. Within the scope of analytics and marketing cookies, your data may be transferred abroad through the infrastructure of the relevant service providers (e.g. Google); such transfer is carried out in accordance with the conditions set out in Article 9 of KVKK.

Retention Period of Cookies

Depending on their type, cookies may be "session cookies" or "persistent cookies":

• Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. The retention period of analytics and marketing cookies may vary according to the policy of the relevant service provider (generally between a few months and 2 years).

Expired cookies automatically become invalid; you may also delete them manually from your browser at any time.

How Can You Manage Your Cookie Preferences?

For non-mandatory (analytics and marketing) cookies, your consent is obtained through the cookie notice shown on your first visit to our site. You may update your preferences at any time.

You may also manage, block, or delete all cookies from your browser settings. You can reach the cookie settings of common browsers through the menus below:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data

• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Please note that if you block strictly necessary cookies, some functions of the site may not work.

Commercial electronic messages sent via SMS/email are subject to separate consent under Law No. 6563 and the Message Management System (İYS) legislation, and fall outside the scope of this Cookie Policy.
