Cookie and Local Storage Policy
Effective: 4 November 2026 · Version 2.1 (English)
This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on the BiCar Solution website (bicarsolution.com), in line with Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 and the Personal Data Protection Authority’s Guidelines on Cookie Practices. No advertising or profiling cookies are used on the site.
1. Cookies and browser storage used
The list below is the complete list of cookies and browser storage used on the site.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration | When it is created |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| bicar_session | First-party HTTP cookie (strictly necessary) | Keeping a logged-in user’s session secure (HttpOnly, SameSite=Strict, Secure) | At most 12 hours (for BiCar team accounts the session ends after 8 hours); deleted on logout | When you log in to your account |
| bicar_cookie_consent | First-party cookie (strictly necessary) | Remembering your choice in the consent window (accept or reject) and its date, so the window is not shown again on every page | 6 months | When you make a choice (accept or reject) in the consent window while Google Analytics or on-site measurement is enabled |
| bicar_language | Browser local storage | Remembering your Turkish/English language preference | Until you clear your browser data | Only when you press the TR/EN language button |
| bicar_ic | First-party cookie | Separating visits made by the BiCar team from their own devices in the statistics | 1 year | Only when a BiCar team member marks their own device in the admin panel; not created for visitors |
On-site measurement (section 2) and cookieless visitor counting (section 4) use no cookies or browser storage. Google Analytics is currently not enabled; if it is enabled, the cookies in section 3 are added.
2. On-site measurement (cookieless, consent-based)
When on-site measurement is enabled and only if you allow it in the consent window, code running in your browser while the page is open tells our server which sections were viewed, that a phone or email link was clicked (without the number or address), which step of the application and “Call me back” forms was reached (without form contents), the page language and whether you arrived via a defined campaign link. This measurement uses no cookies or browser storage; only your choice is kept in the strictly necessary preference cookie above.
IP addresses, form contents and user IDs are not written to the measurement records, and the results are not linked to user accounts. The web server access logs kept to provide and secure the site are separate from this measurement and are described in the Privacy Notice. The data is kept only as daily totals on our server in Türkiye and in backups at our office, is not sent to any analytics or advertising company and is kept in the database for 2 years. Not consenting does not affect your use of the site; after you withdraw consent nothing new is sent.
3. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics)
Google Analytics is currently not enabled. If it is enabled, a consent window is shown on your first visit, and analytics cookies are loaded only if you choose “Accept” or select “Analytics cookies” in the preferences; no request is sent to Google before you consent. The “Reject” option is presented on an equal footing with “Accept”.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google LLC | Distinguishing visitors for statistics | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google LLC | Keeping session state | 2 years |
Data collected through these cookies may be transferred to servers of Google LLC abroad, including the USA. A signed contract and the required transfer safeguards for this service have not been verified; Google Analytics will not be enabled until the conditions in Article 9 KVKK are met. Details are in the Privacy Notice.
4. Cookieless visitor counting
How many people visit our site is also measured without cookies and without sending data to a third-party service. IP addresses and browser details are not stored for this count; for counting a visitor once on the same day they are converted into an irreversible code with a key that changes every day, and this code is deleted at the end of the day. Only daily totals remain.
5. Managing your preferences
You can change your choice in the consent window at any time via the “Cookie preferences” link at the bottom of the page; when you withdraw consent, on-site measurement stops and analytics cookies are deleted. You can also delete or block cookies and browser storage in your browser settings; however, if the strictly necessary session cookie is blocked, you cannot log in to your account.
