1. What cookies and similar technologies are
- Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve performance and provide reporting information.
- LocalStorage and similar storage allow a website to store information in your browser (for example, to remember your cookie preferences).
- Pixels and tags are small pieces of code that load when you visit a page and can help measure traffic, prevent fraud or support advertising.
These technologies may collect information such as your browser type, device information, approximate time of visit, referrer URL, and a pseudonymous identifier. Sepetbayım does not set any first‑party cookies that directly identify you by name, email, phone or account.
2. Why we use cookies
Sepetbayım is a 100% free social media tools platform funded by advertising. We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Keep the website secure and available (for example, to distinguish real users from bots).
- Protect against abuse of our free tools and rate limits.
- Measure usage of our site and tools so we can improve them.
- Show and measure advertising that funds our free services.
Blocking analytics or advertising cookies will not block access to our tools, but it may reduce the advertising revenue that allows us to offer Sepetbayım for free.
