What we collect
Newsletter: if you subscribe, we store your email address, the time of your confirmation and your IP address, to send you our monthly newsletter and to prove your consent. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email.
Server logs: technical data such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested, kept for security and statistics.
Visit statistics: we count daily page views and unique visitors without cookies and without storing IP addresses. A one-way, daily-changing hash is used only to avoid counting the same visitor twice in a day and is deleted within two days.
Browser notifications: if you choose to receive notifications, your browser gives us a unique address and keys for your device. We use them only to send you alerts about new stories and do not link them to your name. You can switch notifications off at any time in your browser settings.
Cookies and third parties
The site itself works without optional cookies. By default we load third-party content that may set cookies: Instagram embeds and advertising (Google AdSense). When you first visit, a notice lets you choose "Reject optional"; if you do, these items are not loaded and your choice is remembered on your device. You can change your choice at any time using "Cookie settings" in the page footer. Fonts are served from our own servers.
Your rights
Under the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK, Law No. 6698) and, where applicable, the GDPR, you may ask to access, correct or delete your data, object to its processing, or withdraw consent, by emailing thekonyanews@gmail.com. We keep newsletter data until you unsubscribe and server logs for a limited period.
