1. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored by a browser when a website is visited. Local storage, pixels, embedded content and similar technologies can also process limited device or browser information.
2. Technologies used on this site
Cen Medya uses strictly necessary session and CSRF technologies for core functions and form security. Google Analytics 4 loads automatically when a page opens to measure visits and content performance statistically. Advertising storage, advertising user data, Google signals and advertising-personalisation features are disabled.
| Technology / provider | Purpose and data | Activation / duration |
|---|---|---|
| PHPSESSID — Cen Medya | Maintains session integrity, CSRF and form security, and administrator sessions. It contains a random session identifier. | Created when required to use the site; expires at the end of the browser session. |
| csrfToken — Cen Medya | Confirms that a form submission originates from the same browser session and prevents forged requests. It contains a random signed security value. | Created when a page containing a form is opened; expires at the end of the browser session. |
| cenmedya_cookie_notice_v1 — Cen Medya local storage | Remembers that the short cookie notice was dismissed; it does not measure visitor behaviour. | Created after “Got it” is selected and may remain until browser data is cleared. |
| Google Analytics 4 — Google LLC (_ga, _ga_G-V3BCBPSG9K) | Statistically measures page views, referrer, device/browser, approximate location, sessions and interactions to understand website use. | Loads automatically when a page opens. The default lifetime of _ga and _ga_G-V3BCBPSG9K is up to 2 years. Advertising signals and advertising-personalisation features are disabled. |
| Cloudflare CDN and R2 | Serves media quickly and protects the network. IP address, request time, file, browser and security data may appear in technical logs; it does not place a Cen Medya advertising cookie. | Runs when a media or static asset is requested; technical log retention follows the provider’s security rules. |
| Google Maps | Displays the map on the contact page. Google may process IP address, device/browser data, referring page and approximate location. | Runs when the embedded map on the contact page loads; Google determines its cookie and storage durations. |
| YouTube privacy-enhanced mode | Plays a selected video in the lightbox. IP address, device information and playback interaction may be processed. | Runs only after a visitor opens a YouTube video; YouTube determines third-party storage periods. |
| Vimeo | Plays a selected Vimeo video in the lightbox. IP address, device information and playback interaction may be processed. | Runs only after a visitor opens a Vimeo video; Vimeo determines third-party storage periods. |
3. Legal bases
Necessary session and security technologies support our legitimate interest in operating a secure website and are required for requested site and form functions. Google Analytics 4 runs automatically under Cen Medya’s legitimate-interest assessment for statistical website measurement and digital-experience improvement.
Third-party maps and videos are used to provide requested content. Interactions with those services are also governed by the providers’ privacy and cookie terms.
4. Browser controls
You can view, delete or block cookies in browser settings. Blocking the necessary session cookie can prevent form security, messages and administrator login from working.
Google Analytics runs automatically and the website does not request a separate acceptance. You may use your browser’s cookie-blocking or deletion controls; deleting current analytics cookies does not retroactively remove past measurement records.
You may open the external location link instead of using the embedded Google map. A YouTube or Vimeo player is not loaded until you choose to open a video.
5. Updates and contact
This inventory and its effective date are updated when technologies change. Contact [email protected] with questions about cookies or similar technologies.
