Cookie Policy

1. Scope and acceptance

This Cookie Policy covers cookies, SDKs, pixels, local storage and similar technologies on tecrube.com and related Service interfaces.

Continuing to use the site means you accept essential cookies. Where analytics/marketing cookies are used, a consent mechanism may also apply.

The Policy is aligned with ePrivacy principles, KVKK, GDPR and applicable local rules.

2. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. Similar technologies include localStorage, sessionStorage, pixels, tags and mobile advertising IDs.

First-party cookies are set by Tecrube; third-party cookies may be set by integrated platforms.

3. Cookie categories

Essential: session, authentication, security, load balancing, language/theme, fraud prevention. Without them the Service cannot run safely; used on necessity / legitimate-interest bases.

Functional: remembering preferences and improving UI.

Analytics/performance: traffic, errors, funnels and product usage (anonymisation preferred).

Marketing/measurement: ad effectiveness, retargeting and connected-account measurement, subject to third-party rules.

4. Current practice and durations

We currently prioritise essential session, security, language and theme cookies. If analytics or marketing cookies are added, this Policy and the consent layer will be updated.

The cookies we set, by name: __Secure-tecrube_session — member panel session token; httpOnly, Secure; for the session, 12 hours by default (essential). __Secure-tecrube_admin — admin panel session token for Tecrube staff only; httpOnly, Secure; for the session (essential). tecrube_locale — your chosen language; 12 months (essential; without it the site opens in the wrong language every time). tecrube_ref — if you arrived through a partner link, that partner’s code; httpOnly; 30 days (functional). tecrube_tz — the time zone you pick in the panel; 12 months (functional). One-time, httpOnly, essential cookies: tecrube_yeni_anahtar (shows a new API key once) and tecrube_yeni_davet (shows a team invite link once) 5 minutes; tecrube_2fa_kurulum (two-step verification setup at admin sign-in) 10 minutes; tecrube_recovery_once (shows recovery codes once) 5 minutes; tecrube_bilet (logged support-view ticket for the panel) 60 seconds. One-time, httpOnly, essential cookies for social sign-in (Google, Apple, LinkedIn, X): tecrube_oauth_state (confirms the sign-in started in this browser) 10 minutes; tecrube_oauth_bekleyen (pending sign-up of a new member who has not yet accepted the terms) 30 minutes; tecrube_oauth_2fa (second step of two-step verification) 10 minutes. The legacy names tecrube_session / tecrube_admin are only read and are deleted at sign-out. Your theme preference (light/dark) is not a cookie; it is kept in your browser’s local storage under tecrube-theme. The site and panel set no other cookies of their own.

tecrube_ref is written only when you click a partner link, and its only job is to credit that partner if you sign up. It contains no personal data, is never shared with ad networks, and you can delete it in your browser settings; deleting it does not stop you signing up — it only drops the partner attribution.

Session cookies expire when the browser closes; persistent cookies last as long as needed for the purpose (typically from 1 day to 24 months by type). Exact durations are visible in your browser.

5. Third-party cookies

Google, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Microsoft, payment and analytics providers may set their own cookies/pixels under their policies; Tecrube does not fully control them.

Measurement cookies tied to ad accounts you connect may activate under your direction. Allocation of responsibility follows the Terms and Privacy Policy.

6. Preference and browser controls

You may delete, block or receive alerts for cookies in browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may break session, language, security or payment flows.

On mobile devices you may reset/limit advertising IDs. E-mail client pixel-blocking preferences also apply.

Where required for EEA/UK users, category-based opt-in is offered; rights to refuse and withdraw remain available.

7. Rights and related policies

Personal data processed via cookies is also governed by the Privacy Policy and Data Protection Notice. Requests: info@tecrube.com.

Read this Policy together with the Privacy Policy and Terms; if texts conflict, mandatory data-protection rules prevail and the current published versions are construed together.

8. Updates

Cookie practices may change with technology and law. The current Policy is published on the site. Contact: info@tecrube.com.
