Which cookies CastLyra uses, why, and how to manage your preferences.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies (such as local storage) are covered by this policy too.
2. Essential cookies
These are needed for the site to work and do not require consent (KVKK, ePrivacy/PECR exemption):
- Session cookies (sb-…): keep you securely signed in; removed when you sign out or they expire.
- cl_lang: remembers your language (1 year).
- cl_consent: remembers your cookie choice (up to 12 months).
- Security check (Cloudflare Turnstile, when enabled): protects forms against bots.
3. Analytics cookies (consent only)
Only if you choose "Accept" do we load Google Analytics 4 cookies (_ga, _ga_…) through Google Tag Manager, which help us measure site usage in aggregate (up to 14 months). We do not use them for ad targeting.
If you do not consent, Google tags are not loaded at all and no analytics cookies are set. Even with consent, advertising storage (Google Consent Mode) stays off.
4. Managing your preferences
You can choose in the cookie notice on your first visit and change your choice at any time with the "Cookie settings" link at the very bottom of each page. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings; blocking essential cookies may stop you signing in.
In browsers that send the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, analytics cookies stay off by default.
