Data Integrity starts with Disclosure.
At Istanbul Data Observatory, our commitment to business intelligence and advanced analytics is built on a foundation of trust. This Cookie Policy explains how we use tracking technologies to refine your experience and deliver precise seasonal insights.
Functional Cookie Pillars
How we categorize digital identifiers to optimize our BI infrastructure.
Strict Necessity & Security
These files are vital for the Istanbul Data Observatory portal to function. They handle authentication, security protocols, and session management. Without these, our analytics dashboard and client-facing secure zones would be inaccessible. We do not use these to gather marketing intelligence.
Performance Analytics
We leverage analytics cookies to understand traffic patterns and user flow. This allows us to improve our BI delivery speed and content relevance for the Istanbul region.
Experience Tuning
Preference identifiers remember your language settings (EN) and region, ensuring the Istanbul Data Observatory interface feels tailored to your professional needs.
Third-Party Synergy
We occasionally integrate data from trusted intelligence partners. These providers may set their own tracking files during your session to facilitate seamless data visualization or social connectivity.
Your Right to Data Sovereignty.
Managing your digital footprint at Istanbul Data Observatory is straightforward. While the cookies we deploy are optimized for enterprise-grade analytics and intelligence gathering about our own site performance, we believe every user should have the tools to modulate their exposure.
Browser Controls
Most modern browsers (Chrome, Safari, Edge) allow you to block or delete cookies via your preference pane. Note that disabling essential cookies may impact the performance of our BI dashboard tools.
Opt-Out Extensions
For those requiring higher levels of privacy, third-party "do not track" plugins are compatible with our platform. We respect the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where applicable.
Our data scientists regularly audit our tracking stack to ensure compliance with both local Turkish regulations and international data ethics. We do not sell tracking data to advertising brokers; our focus remains strictly on internal business intelligence.
Need clarity on a specific identifier?
Our compliance team is available to provide detailed logs of the specific cookies used during your session for transparency purposes.

"Session" cookies expire once you close your browser. "Persistent" cookies remain on your device for up to 12 months, allowing us to recognize returning analysts and stakeholders.
Internal Audits
The Istanbul Data Observatory conducts quarterly reviews of its tracking pixel stack to remove redundant scripts and minimize data weight.
Global Alignment
While based in Istanbul, our policy reflects global best practices in data ethics, ensuring a consistent standard for our international BI partners.
