- PURPOSE and SCOPE
This Cookie Clarification Text Whitebit Kripto Varlık Alım Satım Platformu Anonim Şirketi (hereinafter “WhitebBIT TR” or "Company") provides general definitions of cookie data related to visitors on its website, specifies their types, and the procedures and principles regarding the processing and management of cookie data in accordance with the provisions of the Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 and the "Guidelines on Cookies Applications" published by the Personal Data Protection Board.
This disclosure covers the processing of personal data through cookies and excludes cookies that are not used for personal data processing. It will apply to desktop and mobile websites or web applications within the company.
We may make updates to this disclosure statement as necessary, so please ensure that you have access to the current disclosure statement when using our web and mobile services.
- COOKIE DEFINITION
A cookie is a type of text file placed on the user's device by website operators and transmitted as part of an HTTP(S)3 (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) request; it is a low-size rich text format that allows certain information about users to be stored on their terminal devices when they visit a web page.
- COOKIE TYPES
Cookies are categorized based on their duration, purpose, and origin. The types of cookies and their descriptions are as follows.
A. Cookies by Duration
- Session Cookies
Also known as temporary cookies, session cookies are used to maintain the continuity of the session. Session cookies are deleted when the user closes their web browser.
- Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies, which are not deleted when the internet browser is closed, are automatically deleted on a specific date or after a certain period of time. Through these cookies, the user's processed data is sent to the server each time the user visits a website. For this reason, persistent cookies are sometimes referred to as tracking cookies. For example, advertisers can record and use information about a user's web browsing habits over a long period of time. They can also be used to ensure that users do not have to re-enter their login information each time they log into their accounts on websites.
B. Cookies by Purpose
- Strictly Necessary Cookies (Essential Cookies)
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They are essential for providing the information society service requested by the user (such as logging in, filling out forms, remembering privacy preferences).
Cookies used for the purposes covered by Criteria A and B in section 5 of this disclosure text can be given as examples of strictly necessary cookies. They can generally be considered as types of cookies that require processing conditions other than explicit consent. If essential cookies are blocked, some parts of the website will not work, and these cookies should not be used for marketing purposes.
- Functional Cookies
These are cookies used for personalization and remembering preferences on websites or applications (including applications on desktop, mobile, or IoT devices). These cookies are used to provide functionality beyond that of strictly necessary cookies. Explicit consent will be required in cases where it is not clear that the data subject has explicitly requested an information society service.
- Performance-Analytical Cookies
These cookies enable statistical measurement to analyze user behavior on websites. These cookies are frequently used to improve the site, including measuring the impact of advertisements on individuals. They are used by website owners to estimate the number of unique visitors, identify the most important search engine keywords that lead to a web page, or track navigation on the website.
- Advertising/Marketing Cookies
Advertising and marketing cookies track users' online activities in order to identify their personal interests and display advertisements tailored to those interests. Although there are many types of advertising on the internet, the main reason why online behavioral advertising is the most preferred type of advertising is that it allows advertising to be tailored to individuals' tendencies and preferences, enabling advertisers to use their time and financial resources more efficiently. Online behavioral advertising applications consist of the following stages: monitoring individuals' online activities, analyzing these activities to create profiles, matching the profiled individual with appropriate advertisements, and displaying these advertisements to the relevant person.
- Cookies by Party
Whether a cookie is first-party or third-party depends on which website or domain placed the cookie.
First-party cookies are placed directly by the website visited by the user, i.e., the URL (example.com.tr) displayed in the browser's address bar.
Third-party cookies are placed by a third party other than the website (or domain) visited by the user.
- Conditions for Processing Personal Data in Relation to Cookies
The Company takes into account the other data processing conditions listed in Articles 5 and/or 6 of the Law as a result of "explicit consent" or "the data controller's assessment of personal data processing activities through cookies."
Within the scope of the application of the processing conditions in Articles 5 and/or 6, if the processing of personal data is based on one of the conditions other than explicit consent in the Law, it is not necessary to obtain explicit consent from the relevant person in this case. The Company first assesses whether the purpose of the personal data processing activity is based on one of the other processing conditions other than explicit consent. If this purpose does not meet any of the other conditions other than explicit consent set out in the Law, the data processing activity is based on the explicit consent of the relevant person.
For cookies used on our website, other than essential cookies, users' explicit consent is obtained, and they are provided with the opportunity to change their consent at any time. Users can view the types of cookies used on our website via the cookie management panel and select their preferences for all cookies other than Essential Cookies using the "on" or "off" options. Again, if you do not approve the use of cookies through this panel, we kindly ask you to save your preferences according to the cookie preferences on the website or change your cookie preferences from your browser. We would like to remind you that if cookies are not allowed, some features of the website may lose their functionality.
For essential cookies, the legal basis is "The processing of personal data is necessary for the legitimate interests of the data controller, provided that it does not harm the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject" as stated in Article 5/2 of the KVK Law. and "The processing of personal data belonging to the parties to a contract is necessary for the establishment or performance of the contract."
A. Cookie Usage Based on the Condition of Explicit Consent
Looking at example cookie usage scenarios that do not fall under the scope of the mandatory cookies described above:
- Social Plugin Tracking Cookies
Many social networks offer social plugin modules that website owners can integrate into their websites to provide certain services that could be considered "explicitly requested" by their members. However, these modules can be used to track members and non-members through third-party cookies for additional purposes such as behavioral advertising, analytics, or market research. For these purposes, such cookies cannot be considered "strictly necessary" to provide functionality explicitly requested by the user, and therefore do not fall within the scope of essential cookies. It is unlikely that there is any legal basis for social networks to collect data about non-members via social plugins without explicit consent. By default, social plugins do not place third-party cookies on pages displayed to non-members.
- Online Behavioral Advertising Cookies
Cookies used for behavioral advertising require explicit consent. In this case, the requirement for explicit consent naturally covers cookies used for advertising purposes, including cookies used for frequency capping, financial record keeping, advertising partnerships, detecting click fraud, research and market analysis, product development, and debugging. as none of these purposes are related to a service or functionality explicitly requested by the user within the scope of information society services, as required by essential cookies.
B. Use of Cookies Under Processing Conditions Other Than Explicit Consent
The Company explains the purposes of using sample cookies that may rely on other personal data processing conditions beyond explicit consent within the scope of usage scenarios as follows.
- Load Balancing Session Cookies (Criterion A)
Load balancing is a technique that allows web server requests to be distributed across a pool of machines rather than a single machine. Accordingly, web requests from users are directed to a load balancing gateway, and the request is forwarded to available internal servers in the pool. In this case, the redirection needs to remain persistent throughout the session, ensuring that all requests from a specific user are always directed to the same server in the pool to maintain consistency. These are session cookies, and the sole purpose of the information stored in these cookies is to identify the communication endpoints (one of the servers in the pool). The cookie is necessary for communication over the network and does not require explicit consent under Criterion A.
- Cookies Used for Website Security (Criterion B)
Since a security vulnerability in the website would prevent it from providing services, cause it to be taken offline, and prevent users from accessing the services they request, cookies used for website security are also considered absolutely necessary for the services requested by the user. For example, a cookie used by a web application firewall to identify the user and limit the number of user requests per session can be considered strictly necessary for the security of the site and the user's access to the service, and therefore strictly necessary for a service requested by the user under Criterion B. For the use of cookies serving this purpose, the Company may resort to other processing conditions other than explicit consent, such as the processing condition that "it is necessary for the legitimate interests of the data controller, provided that it does not harm the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject."
- WHAT COOKIES DO WE USE
Below is detailed information about the types of cookies used on our website and how they are used.
Essential Cookies
