8. Changes in Consent and Policy 

With the Policy, BAYTII aims to provide detailed explanations to its visitors about the use of Cookies and to inform them about their Cookie preferences. In this respect, it is accepted that consent to the use of Cookies is given if the Cookie information warning on the Portal is closed and the Portal continues to be used. Visitors always reserve the opportunity to change their Cookie preferences.  BAYTII may change the provisions of its Policy at any time. The current Policy becomes effective on the date it is published on the Portal. The following types of Cookies are used on the BAYTII:  8.1 Session Cookies  Session Cookies are temporary Cookies that are used during our Visitors' visits to the Site and deleted after the browser is closed.  The main purpose of using such Cookies is to ensure the proper functioning of the Website during your visit.  For example, you are provided to fill in online forms consisting of more than one page.  8.2 Persistent Cookies  Persistent Cookies are types of Cookies used to increase the functionality of the Site and to provide faster and better service to our Visitors.  Such Cookies are used to remember your preferences and are stored on your device via browsers.  Some types of persistent Cookies; can be used to provide you with special suggestions, taking into account issues such as your purpose for using the Website.  Thanks to Persistent Cookies, if you visit the Site again with the same device, it is checked whether there is a cookie created by the Site on your device, and if there is, it is understood that you have visited the Site before and the content to be transmitted to you is determined accordingly and thus a better service is provided to you.  8.3 First Party Cookie  A small piece of code that a web browser stores in a file on a viewer's computer to remember their activity on a site, such as when a viewer visits a page or downloads an article from your site. A first-party cookie comes from the domain (or website) the member is browsing from.  First-party Cookies are a workaround for some browsers and applications that prevent third-party Cookies from collecting information.  First-party Cookies are usually stored longer than third-party Cookies, so you can monitor Visitor activity for longer.  In addition, first-party Cookies are often enabled by Visitors because they make their browsing experience more enjoyable.  8.4 Third Party Cookie  A small piece of code that comes from a domain other than the domain from which the member is browsing. When a person clicks on the advert, they are redirected to the advertiser's website, at which point a third-party cookie is saved on the person's computer. When this code is fired, you can track a person's actions on the site if third-party Cookies are not blocked.  Browsers block third-party Cookies. For example, Safari 11 has already blocked third-party Cookies. As privacy becomes a central concern among visitors and regulatory restrictions continue to evolve rapidly, more browsers are expected to phase out third-party Cookies.  On the tracker side, a tracker can browse in anonymized mode, such as Google's incognito mode, and data is not stored after the session. Visitors can also manually disable third-party Cookies.
