Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how CartCraft (accessible at golfride.com.tr) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our independent golf cart review and guide website. Since we do not sell any products, this policy focuses solely on how we enhance your browsing experience and manage affiliate links through cookies.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) by your web browser. They help websites remember your preferences, session information, and browsing behavior. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide useful information to site owners.
2. How CartCraft Uses Cookies
On golfride.com.tr, we use cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the basic functioning of our site, such as remembering your cookie consent choice or maintaining session security. Without these cookies, parts of our website may not operate correctly.
- Analytics & Performance Cookies: These collect anonymous data about how visitors interact with our site, such as which pages are most popular, how long users stay, and any error messages encountered. This helps us improve the content and user experience of CartCraft. Data is aggregated and not used to identify you personally.
- Affiliate Cookie Tracking (Referral Cookies): CartCraft participates in independent affiliate marketing programs. When you click on an affiliate link on our site (e.g., to learn more about a golf cart model or accessory), a cookie may be placed on your browser. This cookie helps the affiliate partner recognize that you came from golfride.com.tr. If you make a purchase through that link, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. These cookies are usually temporary and expire after a short period (typically 1–30 days). Important: Our reviews and recommendations remain unbiased; commissions do not influence our editorial independence.
- Functional Cookies: These allow our site to remember choices you make (such as language preferences or region) and provide enhanced, personalized features.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We may use both first-party cookies (set by golfride.com.tr) and third-party cookies (set by affiliate partners or analytics providers). Below are examples of cookie categories you may encounter:
- Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. Used for essential site functions and affiliate referral tracking during your visit.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set duration or until manually deleted. They help us recognize returning visitors and remember your preferences.
- Affiliate Tracking Pixels: In addition to cookies, some affiliate partners may use small invisible images (pixels) to track conversions and optimize marketing. These work similarly to cookies and may collect non-personal data.
Please note: CartCraft does not control the cookies or data processing practices of third-party affiliate networks. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies for more details.
4. Your Choices: Managing Cookies
You have the right to accept or reject cookies. When you first visit golfride.com.tr, you will see a cookie consent banner. You can choose to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences. Essential cookies cannot be disabled because they are necessary for the site to function.
You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete specific cookies, or to set preferences for certain websites. Please be aware that if you disable cookies, some features of CartCraft may not work properly, such as remembering your consent settings or preserving affiliate referral links.
5. Affiliate Disclosure & Cookie Use
CartCraft (golfride.com.tr) is an independent golf cart review and guide site. We may include affiliate links to third-party products or services. If you click on an affiliate link and later make a purchase, the third-party provider may set a cookie on your browser to track the referral. In such cases, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Our reviews remain independent and are never influenced by potential commissions. For full transparency, you can read our separate Affiliate Disclosure page for more details.
6. Data Safety & Privacy
We do not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information (such as your name, email, or address) without your explicit consent. All data collected via cookies on golfride.com.tr is used solely for the purposes described above. For more information on how we protect your privacy, please see our Privacy Policy.
