www.izmirbusinessdays.com uses various cookies to make your use of our website as efficient as possible, to run the site securely and to improve your user experience. This Cookie Policy explains which cookies we use and why, how long they are stored and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device or network server by the websites you visit, via your browser, and used to store information. Cookies allow a site to recognise you on your next visit, keep you logged in, remember your language and display preferences, and measure how different parts of the site are used. A cookie on its own does not directly reveal your identity; combined with other data, however, it may qualify as personal data.
Local storage data kept in your browser or device, pixel tags, web beacons, identifiers associated with your device and similar technologies may be used for the same purposes. In this policy all of these technologies are referred to as "cookies".

They are usually set in response to actions you take that amount to a request for services, such as logging in, filling in forms, adding products to the basket or saving your cookie preferences. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but some parts of the site will then not work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
