What is a Cookie and What Does It Do?

Cookies are small text files sent from a website to your device (computer, smartphone or tablet). Cookies are used primarily to enable our systems to recognise your device and to improve your online visiting experience.

Each cookie has its own unique identifier number. This unique number can identify your browser. Cookies infer information about you from your movements and actions on the website.

Cookies are primarily used for the operation of websites and the fulfillment of the basic functions of the site. However, since improving the visitor experience on our site is of great importance to our Company, cookies are used for purposes other than the cookies that help the site operate. For example, some cookies allow us to make inferences about users' visits to our website. In this way, we can improve the experience we offer you and provide you with a personalized shopping experience. We may also use cookies for marketing purposes. We can present you with personalized advertisements for products you are interested in or have purchased during your visit to our website. In this way, you will not encounter ads that are not of interest to you or are irrelevant.

What are the Types of Cookies?

Cookies are divided into different types.

Cookies are first divided into two according to the cookie provider parties. These are first-party cookies or third-party cookies. Whether a cookie is a first-party or third-party cookie means who provides the cookie and who places it on the website. In this context,

• First Party Cookies: These are cookies placed directly by the web page visited by the user, in other words, the URL shown in the browser's address bar (www.locco.com.tr).
• Third Party Cookies: These are cookies placed by a third party other than the website the user is visiting.

Cookies are also classified according to their duration of use. In this context,

• Session Cookies: These types of cookies are stored only for the duration of your visit to our website. These cookies expire after your visit to our website. In other words, these types of cookies are automatically deleted.
• Persistent Cookies: These types of cookies are stored in your browser for a certain period of time. The storage period of the cookie may vary depending on the purpose of use. These types of cookies will be automatically deleted when the predetermined usage period expires. Of course, you always have the opportunity to delete these types of cookies by updating your browser settings.

Cookies are also classified according to the purpose they serve. In this context, cookies are categorized as (i) Strictly Necessary Cookies, (ii) Functionality Cookies, (iii) Analytical (Performance) Cookies and (iv) Marketing/Targeting Cookies.

For details on these types of cookies and detailed explanations on what these cookies do, you can review our explanations under the title "Processing Method of Personal Data Through Cookies, Legal Reasons and Processing Purposes".

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

We use cookies because they are essential for our website to function properly. The cookies we use in this context are called "Strictly Necessary Cookies". This type of cookie enables various features of the sites. Cookies that allow you to navigate a page on our website and log in to your account are strictly necessary cookies.

1.1. Purposes of Use

If you do not allow the use of strictly necessary cookies, you will not be able to benefit from certain functions of the site. These functions are generally functions required for the purpose of the site's existence. For example, if you want to shop on our website, add products to your cart, view your cart and complete your shopping, then strictly necessary cookies must be active/in use. Otherwise, it will not be possible to achieve your purpose of visiting our site.

Of course, you have the option to block the use of absolutely necessary cookies. However, we would like to point out that in this case, our website may not function properly and may not meet your expectations.

1.2. Legal Reasons Relied On

Your personal data collected through these cookies is processed within the scope of the legal grounds of “data processing is mandatory for the legitimate interests of the data controller, provided that it does not harm the fundamental rights and freedoms of the relevant person” in Article 5/2-f of the Law on the Protection of Personal Data (“Law”) and “processing personal data of the parties to a contract is necessary, provided that it is directly related to the establishment or performance of a contract” in Article 5/2-c of the Law.

2. Functionality Cookies

We use certain cookies to maximize your experience on our website and to make our website more functional. The cookies we use in this context are “Functionality Cookies”. Functionality cookies make it easier for you to use our website in many ways.

2.1. Purposes of Use

Functionality cookies are used to remember choices you make and to personalise your use of the website. For example, functionality cookies are cookies that allow you to save your password and remain logged into the website, saving you the trouble of entering your password multiple times each time you visit.

These cookies include result display preference cookies, which are used to remember your preferences for online search queries. For example, functionality cookies are used to bring forward functions such as selecting search filters and selecting the number of results per page. In addition, we provide information content regarding cookies to a user visiting our website for the first time. In this way, we want them to be informed about the use of cookies on our website and to customize their use of cookies. However, we do not present such information texts and legal notices on each subsequent visit to our website. Functionality cookies are cookies used to remember such user preferences.

2.2. Legal Reasons Relied On

Your personal data collected through these cookies is processed by obtaining your explicit consent within the scope of Article 5/1 of the Law.

3. Analytical Cookies (Performance Cookies)

Cookies help us analyze your movements on our website and improve our services and user experience. The cookies we use in this context are "Analytical Cookies (Performance Cookies)".

3.1. Purposes of Use

Analytical cookies are used to determine how you use our website, including determining where and from which devices you connect to our website, what content you view on the website and the duration of your visit.

Identifying your interests and likes is important for our personalized marketing efforts. With personalized marketing efforts, we aim to keep each of our users’ satisfaction at the highest level and to be able to conduct marketing activities that are relevant to their areas of interest (for example, offering advertisements that are relevant to your interests instead of products that you are not interested in). We use “Targeting/Marketing Cookies” while conducting these activities and also measuring the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.

4.1. Purposes of Use

We use these cookies primarily for three sub-reasons: (i) to gain insight into your preferences and behavior so that we can provide you with more relevant ads and services; (ii) to prevent you from seeing the same ads too often; and (iii) to understand the effectiveness of the ads delivered to you.

How Does Locco Use Third-Party Cookies for Advertising, Retargeting and Analytics?

Marketing activities play a major role in providing you with a better experience. In this context, our company uses “Marketing/Targeting Cookies” while conducting marketing activities. Some of these types of cookies are provided by third-party cookie providers. Providing cookies by third parties means that the cookies used on our website are provided by a third party, not by our Company. For example, when we want to serve an advertisement or conduct analysis studies on the performance of our website, we may conduct our marketing and analysis activities based on cookies placed by third parties such as Locco Inc. (“Locco”). You can access information about cookies placed by third parties from the table under the heading “Cookie Types”.
