Cookies, in plain words

• takip-lang: the language you picked, so every page opens in it. Set only when you pick one, and kept for 400 days.
• Cookies whose names begin with takip. (takip.session_token and its companions): they keep you signed in and finish a two-step sign-in. Set only when you sign in, and removed when you sign out.
• None of TAKIP’s own cookies are used for ads or to follow you to other sites.

• Google AdSense, on the free plans: cookies such as __gads, __gpi and __eoi on this site, and Google’s own on its domains, to choose and count ads and to stop ad fraud. Where the law requires your consent, Google’s consent message asks for it first. Pro shows no ads, so these are not set.
• YouTube and other video services: some cameras and live news channels are their videos, and when one plays, that service may set its own cookies.
• Cloudflare carries the connection to TAKIP and may set a cookie to tell people from automated traffic. Its count of page loads and their speed (Web Analytics) uses no cookies.

• Your settings, the areas you draw, your watchlist and the random visitor id are kept in your browser’s local storage, not in cookies, and are not sent with every request. The privacy page lists each one.

• Your browser can block or clear this site’s cookies. TAKIP still works without them, but it forgets your language and signs you out.
• Turn off personalised ads in Google’s My Ad Center, or decline in the consent message; you then see ads that do not depend on your history.
• Clearing this site’s data in your browser removes the cookies and the browser storage together.
