Cookie policy

Effective 7 November 2026 · Operator: Özkur Kuran (MikroSciX) · [email protected]

This policy explains what mikroscix.com stores on your device and which third-party content it loads. It follows the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the ePrivacy rules and Turkey's Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK). Nothing other than strictly necessary storage is used until you give consent, and you can change your choice at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page.

Strictly necessary

Your consent choice is saved in your browser's local storage under the key msx-consent. It is not a cookie, is never sent to our server and contains only your on/off choices. It is kept until you clear your browser data.

External media: YouTube

Videos are embedded from youtube-nocookie.com, YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode. Before you allow external media, the pages show only a placeholder and make no request to YouTube. When you load a video, your browser connects to YouTube (Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC), which receives your IP address and browser information and may set cookies or local storage once you play the video. Google's processing is described in the Google Privacy Policy. You can also watch every video on YouTube directly with the link under each placeholder.

International transfer

YouTube and Google Analytics may process data in the United States. Enabling a category is your explicit consent to that transfer (KVKK Art. 9 as amended in 2024; GDPR Art. 49(1)(a)). Google LLC is certified under the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

Analytics: Google Analytics 4

Only if you allow analytics, the site loads Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-0NHPBE792V) to count visits and see which pages and videos are used. It sets the first-party cookies _ga and _ga_0NHPBE792V (up to 2 years). Advertising features and Google Signals are switched off in the tag; Google Analytics 4 does not store IP addresses and keeps analytics data for at most 14 months. Without consent the tag is not loaded at all, and withdrawing consent deletes these cookies.

U.S. residents (CCPA/CPRA and other state privacy laws)

We do not sell or share your personal information and we use no advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising. A Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal is respected; since nothing is sold or shared, no further opt-out is needed. You have the right to know, access, correct and delete your personal information and not to be discriminated against for using these rights. We do not knowingly collect personal information of children under 16.

Your rights

Under GDPR and KVKK (Article 11) you can ask what personal data is processed, request correction or deletion, and object to processing. Write to [email protected]. You may also complain to your data protection authority (in Turkey: Kişisel Verileri Koruma Kurumu).

Server logs

Like any web server, ours briefly records technical request data (IP address, time, requested page, browser) to keep the site secure and running. These logs are not used for profiling and are not shared.
