Pre-publication check: Replace [[FULL LEGAL NAME]] and [[COOKIE PREFERENCE COOKIE NAME / DURATION]]. Run a live cookie scan after the consent platform is installed and update the tables for the exact WordPress, form, hosting, Google Ads and embedded-content cookies actually present. Verify that optional tags are blocked or receive the correct denied signal before consent.
1. About This Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how [[FULL LEGAL NAME]], trading as Solara Event (“Solara”), uses cookies and similar storage or access technologies on https://solaraevent.com. It should be read with our Privacy Notice.
2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small data files stored on or accessed from a browser or device. Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels, tags, scripts, software development kits and device identifiers. They can help a website function, remember choices, remain secure, measure use or support advertising attribution.
A first-party cookie is set through the domain you are visiting. A third-party cookie is set or read by another provider. Session cookies usually end when the browser session closes; persistent cookies remain until their stated expiry, deletion or replacement. The exact lifetime may be shortened by browser settings or provider configuration.
3. Our Cookie Categories
| Category | Purpose | Standard Solara treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Security, network delivery, consent preference and functionality specifically requested by the visitor. | Active where legally permitted without optional-cookie consent. |
| Analytics | Understand visits, navigation, interactions and website performance so the site can be improved. | Optional under Solara’s uniform setup; enabled only after the visitor accepts Analytics. |
| Marketing | Advertising attribution, campaign measurement, remarketing or cross-site advertising functions. | Optional; enabled only after the visitor accepts Marketing. |
| Functional / embedded content | Remember non-essential preferences or load third-party media and widgets. | Enabled only after the relevant choice unless a narrow legal exception clearly applies. |
4. Consent and Control
When you first visit, the banner should allow you to accept all optional technologies, reject non-essential technologies, or manage categories. Rejecting optional cookies must be as easy as accepting them. Necessary cookies cannot normally be switched off through the preference centre because they support requested functionality, security or the record of your choice.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through the persistent “Cookie Settings” link in the website footer. Withdrawal does not affect processing already carried out lawfully, but optional tags should stop using the relevant storage or access technology after the preference is updated. You may also delete cookies through browser settings.
Although current UK law provides narrow exceptions for some statistical and appearance technologies when strict conditions and a simple free objection mechanism are met, Solara’s standard cross-region implementation treats Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity as optional. This keeps the visitor experience consistent across Turkiye, the EEA and the UK.
5. Strictly Necessary Technologies
| Cookie / service | Provider | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| [[COOKIE PREFERENCE COOKIE NAME]] | Solara / consent platform | Stores the visitor’s cookie-category choices and evidence of preference. | [[COOKIE PREFERENCE DURATION, e.g. 6 or 12 months]] |
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare | Bot-management and site-security functions where Cloudflare Bot Management or Bot Fight Mode is enabled. | 30 minutes after continuous inactivity |
| cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Stores successful security challenge clearance so the visitor is not repeatedly challenged. | Configured security clearance period |
| _cfuvid | Cloudflare | Helps Cloudflare distinguish users who share an IP address for rate-limiting or security functions, where enabled. | Session or provider-configured period |
| WordPress / form security cookies | Solara website | May support session integrity, spam prevention or form security depending on the final plugins and configuration. | [[CONFIRM BY LIVE SCAN]] |
Necessary technologies are used only for the stated necessary purpose. If a technology is also used for analytics, profiling or advertising, the relevant optional rules apply to that additional purpose.
6. Analytics Technologies
| Cookie / service | Provider | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes users for website measurement. | 2 years by default |
| _ga_<container-id> | Google Analytics 4 | Persists session state for the relevant Analytics property. | 2 years by default |
| _clck | Microsoft Clarity | Stores a pseudonymous Clarity user identifier and site-specific preferences. | Persistent; verify current browser expiry |
| _clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Connects multiple page views into one Clarity session recording. | Short-lived; verify current browser expiry |
| CLID | Microsoft | Identifies the first time Clarity observed a browser on a site using Clarity. | Provider-controlled; verify live |
| ANONCHK / MR / MUID / SM | Microsoft | Supports Microsoft identifier synchronisation and related analytics or advertising functions when the relevant consent signal permits them. | Varies by cookie and provider configuration |
Google Tag Manager: Google Tag Manager is a tag-management system and does not itself determine every cookie placed through the container. The cookie table must therefore reflect every tag that the final GTM container can fire. Microsoft Clarity uses pseudonymous identifiers and interaction data to produce analytics such as session recordings and heatmaps; it must receive the correct consent state.
7. Marketing and Advertising Technologies
| Cookie / service | Provider | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _gcl_* | Google Ads | Conversion attribution and campaign measurement where Google Ads conversion tags are enabled. | Usually up to 90 days; verify configuration |
| IDE / test_cookie and related advertising cookies | Google / DoubleClick | Advertising delivery, attribution, frequency or browser capability checks where relevant features are enabled. | Varies by cookie, region and configuration |
| Microsoft advertising identifiers | Microsoft | Advertising storage or attribution only where an advertising integration is enabled and Marketing consent is granted. | Varies by provider configuration |
The presence of an advertising account does not automatically mean every advertising cookie listed above is active on every page. Before publication, the developer must confirm which conversion, remarketing and enhanced-conversion features are enabled and update this table accordingly.
8. Embedded Content and External Platforms
Pages may link to or embed content from WhatsApp, Google Maps, video platforms, social networks, venues or other third parties. A simple external link does not normally place the destination service’s cookies until you follow it. Embedded content may allow the provider to store or access information when it loads. Where required, the embed should be blocked until the relevant choice or loaded only after an informed user action.
9. Provider Information
| Privacy information: https://policies.google.com/privacy | |
| Microsoft | Privacy statement: https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement |
| Cloudflare | Privacy policy: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/ |
Third-party providers may update their technologies, names and retention settings. Solara will review this Policy and the live cookie scan periodically and when material website tags or plugins change.
10. Browser and Device Controls
Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies. Blocking all cookies can affect security, forms and site functions. Browser controls do not replace Solara’s duty to obtain a required choice before optional technologies operate.
11. Changes and Contact
We may update this Policy when technologies, providers or legal requirements change. Questions or privacy complaints may be sent to [email protected]. You may also contact us on +90 532 373 51 11 or at 2066 Sokak No: 12, Caglayan Mahallesi, Dudenpark Evleri, Block B, Apartment 26, Muratpasa 07235, Antalya, Turkiye.
