1. What a cookie is
A cookie is a small file the browser keeps for this site. Local storage and session storage are not cookies. They still stay on your device. The weight-calculator list uses local storage. Two short technical notes use session storage and disappear when the tab closes.
2. Which rule applies
KVKK Article 10 still requires a notice even for a strictly necessary cookie. The Board’s decision of 10 March 2022 (2022/229) and the Cookie Guidelines split the rest. A cookie may be set without opt-in consent only if its only job is to carry a communication over the network, or if it is strictly necessary for a service you clearly asked for. Analytics, advertising and similar cookies are outside that line. Legitimate interest is not a basis for them. Consent, when it is required, is opt-in: the non-essential cookie stays off until you turn it on. A banner that blocks the site until you accept is not accepted.
This site has no consent panel. Only the strictly necessary stores below are written on the public pages.
3. What this site stores
| Name | Party | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| NEXT_LOCALE | This site | Remembers TR or EN after you choose a language, or after the home page redirects by country. | The country redirect sets no expiry, so the browser may drop it when the session ends. Choosing a language writes the same name again. |
| nfs-calculation-list | This site, local storage, not a cookie | Keeps the weight list on your device: profile, size, length, quantity, weight. Not sent unless you attach it to a quote. | Until you clear the site data. |
| nfs-reload-top, nfs-locale-scroll | This site, session storage, not a cookie | A flag or a scroll position so a reload can restore the page. No name or message. | Until the tab closes. |
| nfs_admin | This site, /admin only | Staff session after sign-in. httpOnly. Visitors of the public site do not receive it. | 8 hours. |
| nfs_admin_theme | This site, /admin only | The theme a staff member picked. Not written on a public page. | 1 year. |
Language and the admin session rest on KVKK Art. 5/2(c): they exist to provide the language you asked for, or the sign-in a staff member asked for. The calculator list never leaves your browser unless you attach it.
4. Measurement and ads
A Google measurement tag loads only when that ID is present in the site settings. An ads tag loads only together with it. Otherwise the public pages do not load the tag. These tags are not strictly necessary. They can set cookies such as _ga or an ads cookie. Google chooses the lifetime; this page does not invent a number of days. There is no opt-in panel, so the ID is not configured. Turning it on without that panel would not meet the Board’s decision.
5. The map embed
The contact page can embed a Google map of the published addresses. The embed may let Google set cookies of its own. Their lifetime is Google’s. The address is also written on the page, so you can read it without the map. A directions link opens Google Maps in a new tab. WhatsApp and Call open those services. Their rules belong to Google, Meta or your phone provider.
6. How to control them
- Delete or block cookies in the browser. Most browsers allow a rule for this site only.
- Clear site data to remove nfs-calculation-list.
- Choose the language again if you want NEXT_LOCALE rewritten.
- If a measurement tag is ever switched on, Google’s browser add-on can opt out of that measurement.
Blocking the language cookie may stop the site remembering TR or EN. The pages still open.
