www.wro2024.org uses various cookies to make your use of our website as efficient as possible, to run the site securely and to improve your user experience. This Cookie Policy explains which cookies we use and why, how long they are stored and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device or network server by the websites you visit, via your browser, and used to store information. Cookies allow a site to recognise you on your next visit, keep you logged in, remember your language and display preferences, and measure how different parts of the site are used. A cookie on its own does not directly reveal your identity; combined with other data, however, it may qualify as personal data.
Local storage data kept in your browser or device, pixel tags, web beacons, identifiers associated with your device and similar technologies may be used for the same purposes. In this policy all of these technologies are referred to as "cookies".
| Criterion | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Lifetime | Session cookies | Valid only for the duration of your visit; deleted when you close the browser. Used to keep your session alive and carry information between steps such as the shopping basket. |
| Persistent cookies | Remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. Used to remember your preferences and your cookie consent, and to distinguish between visits. | |
| Origin | First-party cookies | Set directly by www.wro2024.org and readable only by this site. |

Personal data processed through cookies is processed under the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 ("KVKK") and related legislation. Cookies that are strictly necessary for the site to function are used on the basis of performance of a contract and legitimate interest under Article 5 of the KVKK; analytical and marketing cookies are used only on the basis of your explicit consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time.
Apart from our website, third parties may also use cookies on their own sites and/or applications in connection with the www.wro2024.org website. We have no control over the cookie practices of these third parties and recommend that you review their policies.
The cookies used on our site fall into the three main categories shown in the cookie consent window. Necessary cookies are always active; analytical and marketing cookies are your choice.
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take that amount to a request for services, such as logging in, filling in forms, adding products to the basket or saving your cookie preferences. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but some parts of the site will then not work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

Analytical cookies are used to improve your website experience. They help us understand our visitors' usage habits and produce statistics: which pages are visited and how often, how long visits last, at what times the site is used, which sections are most used, where visitors come from and which error messages are encountered. The data collected is evaluated in aggregate (anonymised or pseudonymised) form and used to improve the content we offer or the design of the site.

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites.

On your first visit to our site a cookie consent window is displayed at the bottom of the screen. In this window you can:
Your choice is stored for 12 months in a first-party cookie named "cerez_tercih" and the window is not shown again during that period. Consent-based cookies are activated only if you have allowed the relevant category.
If you do not want cookies to be used in this way, you can choose "Necessary only" in the consent window or adjust your browser settings. Please note that disabling necessary cookies may affect your user experience on the www.wro2024.org website; if you reject persistent or session cookies you may continue to use the site, but you may not be able to access all of its functions or may encounter limited access.
Most browsers accept cookies automatically; however, you can delete or block cookies, or choose to be warned before a cookie is set, through your browser settings. Blocking via the browser affects all websites, independently of your choice in the cookie consent window.
