Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy is prepared to provide transparent information to users of the hikayekitap.com website and associated mobile applications ("Platform") regarding the collection, processing, and protection of personal data, as well as analytics integrations.
Our Platform utilizes Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and related Google technologies to enhance user experience, analyze content interactions, and maintain technical stability.
- Google Analytics 4 and Google Signals: Advanced measurement tools and Google Signals features are enabled on our Platform. When users have allowed ads personalization in their Google accounts, cross-device session interactions, generalized geographic data, and interest categories may be processed as aggregated and anonymized reports by Google.
- User-ID Integration: For registered members, a unique pseudonymous User-ID may be processed to synchronize reading progress across devices. This identifier does not contain unencrypted directly identifiable personal data.
To keep our stories free, our website shows ads served by Google AdSense.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- As a result of ad serving, third parties may place and read cookies on your browser, or use web beacons or IP addresses to collect information.
- You can learn more at How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps.
Ad settings by visitor location:
- United States: Ad requests from US visits are tagged for child-directed treatment under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Personalized ads and remarketing are not used for these visitors.
- European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland: Advertising and measurement cookies are used according to the consent you give through a Google-certified consent management platform (CMP). If you do not consent, only non-personalized or limited ads are shown.
- Türkiye and other countries: Personalized ads may be shown. You can turn them off in Google Ads Settings or through your cookie preferences.
Ads are never placed inside the story reader or the page-turning area; on book pages they appear in separate spaces outside the story content.
Hikayekitap.com offers stories for children and is designed to be used with a parent or teacher. We do not knowingly ask children for personal information such as a name, email, phone number or address. Accounts must be created and managed by parents. If you believe a child under 13 has sent us personal information, write to [email protected] and we will delete it.
Users can manage or disable their activity data collected and utilized by Google at any time through the following official tools:
- Review or delete Google account activity: Google My Activity (myactivity.google.com)
- Manage personalized ad settings: Google Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com)
- Opt out of personalized advertising cookies from third-party vendors: aboutads.info, or for users in Europe youronlinechoices.eu
- Opt out of Google Analytics measurement: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
Our Platform may contain links to external websites or third-party services. Our Platform is not responsible for the privacy practices of external entities.
This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect legal amendments or operational improvements. Current revisions will always be published on this page.
