Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to work more efficiently, and to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies are stored either in your browser's memory (session cookies) or on your device's hard drive (persistent cookies).

Cookies can be set either by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website ("third-party cookies"). Each cookie has a name, a value, a domain, a path, and an expiry date.

Similar technologies — such as pixels, web beacons, local storage, and session storage — may also be used alongside or instead of cookies to store and access data on your device. References to "cookies" in this Policy include all such similar technologies.

The Meet2Be platform (meet2be.com) uses cookies for the following primary purposes: (1) to keep you signed in and protect your session; (2) to remember your preferences such as language and display settings; (3) to understand how visitors use the platform so we can improve it; and (4) to ensure the security and integrity of the platform.

We do not use cookies for cross-site advertising or behavioural tracking. We do not sell or share cookie data with third parties for marketing purposes. Where analytics cookies are used, the data is processed in aggregate and used solely to improve the Meet2Be service.

Under Turkish Law No. 6698 (KVKK) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we are required to obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. You may manage your preferences at any time via the Cookie Preferences link in the website footer.

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the website and platform to function. They enable core functionality such as security, authentication, and accessibility. Without these cookies, the platform cannot operate correctly. These cookies are placed on the basis of our legitimate interest (and, where applicable, necessity for the performance of a contract) and do not require your consent.

Functional cookies allow the platform to remember choices you have made and provide enhanced, personalised features. For example, a functional cookie may remember your preferred language or UI theme. These cookies improve your experience but are not strictly required for the platform to work.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website and platform by collecting information anonymously. This data helps us improve the platform's structure, content, and performance. All analytics data is processed in aggregate; it does not identify you personally.

Meet2Be does not engage in behavioural advertising, retargeting, or the sale of personal data for marketing purposes. We do not place advertising tracking cookies on your device.

We may occasionally embed content from third-party platforms (such as YouTube video demos). These third-party embeds may set their own cookies if you interact with the embedded content. We use privacy-enhanced embed modes wherever available (e.g. youtube-nocookie.com). Embedded content cookies are subject to the privacy policies of the respective third parties.

If you prefer that no third-party embed cookies be placed, you may adjust your browser settings to block third-party cookies, or decline the relevant cookie category in our Cookie Preferences panel.

Some cookies on the Meet2Be platform are placed by third-party service providers that we use to deliver our service. These third parties process personal data as independent data controllers under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their policies:

When you first visit the Meet2Be website, a cookie consent banner is displayed. By clicking "Accept All", you consent to the placement of all cookie categories described in this Policy. By clicking "Manage Preferences", you can selectively accept or decline non-essential cookie categories. By clicking "Decline All", only essential cookies (which require no consent) will be placed.

Your consent is recorded in the meet2be_cookie_consent cookie and retained for 12 months. After 12 months, or whenever you clear this cookie, you will be asked for your consent again. You may change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the "Cookie Preferences" link in the website footer.

The legal bases for our use of cookies are: (1) your consent (KVKK Art. 5/1; GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)) for analytics and functional cookies; (2) legitimate interest (KVKK Art. 5/2(f); GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)) for security and load-balancing cookies; and (3) performance of contract (KVKK Art. 5/2(c); GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)) for authentication cookies.

You have several options for controlling the cookies placed on your device. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality and performance of the platform.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you via a banner on your next visit.

We encourage you to review this Policy periodically. Your continued use of the Meet2Be website or platform after an updated Policy is posted constitutes your acknowledgement of the changes.
