Your choices
Cookies are small files stored in your browser. Similar browser storage can also remember settings. You can read our guides without accepting optional measurement.
We offer separate choices for Visitor statistics — Google Analytics and Heatmaps and session replay — Microsoft Clarity. Both are off until you enable them. We do not treat continued browsing, scrolling or closing the notice as agreement. Use Cookie settings at any time to change or withdraw your choice.
Cookies and purposes
| Category | Name | Provider | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Website preference | dii-season | DoInIstanbul | Remember the seasonal appearance chosen or applied by a seasonal guide | Browser session; session restoration may preserve it |
| Consent management | dii-consent (browser local storage) | DoInIstanbul | Remember your cookie selections | 180 days; checked by the website |
| Visitor statistics, optional | _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguish browsers for visit measurement | Up to six months |
| Visitor statistics, optional | _ga_<container-id> | Google Analytics | Maintain measurement session information | Up to six months |

The website preference, consent storage and first-party measurement storage apply to doinistanbul.com. Microsoft also documents third-party cookies, including CLID, MUID, ANONCHK, MR and SM, which can have advertising or cross-site purposes. Any such additional storage must be identified with its provider, domain and lifetime in Cookie settings and this policy before it is enabled. Advertising and cross-site storage is not authorised merely by choosing website usability measurement.
Our policy limits GA4 cookies to six months from their creation without extending that limit on return visits. Browser restrictions may shorten the listed lifetimes. We ask for a new optional measurement choice after 180 days or earlier if the purpose changes materially. Cookie lifetime is different from the retention of information on Google or Microsoft servers.
What the measurement tools do
Google Analytics measures visits and navigation. Microsoft Clarity shows heatmaps and replays of clicks, scrolling and other interactions with our pages. These tools can process browser identifiers and personal information. Clarity replay does not record your camera or microphone.
See the Privacy Policy for recipients, retention and international processing, and the providers' Google Analytics cookie information and Clarity cookie information.
Changing settings
Withdrawing a category stops future measurement through that tool and removes its cookies where we can control them. It does not automatically delete information already held on provider servers. Contact us about an applicable deletion request.
You can also delete or block cookies through your browser. Clearing storage may remove your saved choices and cause the notice to appear again. Features that rely on a saved preference may reset. External websites reached through links have their own cookie rules.
