Questions about our cookie usage
What Are Cookies?
Cookies and similar storage technologies (such as localStorage and sessionStorage) are small pieces of data stored on your device when you use a website or application. They help us remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and provide a better experience.
How We Use Cookies
PhotoMea uses cookies and local storage mainly to keep the product working. With your consent, we also use analytics and advertising cookies to understand site usage and measure our marketing.
Marketing Cookies Are Optional
Advertising cookies (such as Google Ads) are only set if you accept marketing cookies. You can decline, or change your choice, at any time.
Essential Cookies
These are required for the application to function. Without them, you cannot sign in or use core features. They cannot be disabled.
access_token
Until logout Keeps you signed in by storing your authentication session securely
refresh_token
Until logout Automatically renews your session so you don't get logged out unexpectedly
user_info
Until logout Stores your profile data (name, email) to display across the application
Preference Cookies
These remember your choices and settings to give you a personalized experience. Disabling them means your preferences won't be saved between visits.

1 year Remembers your language preference (English or Turkish)
theme
Persistent Stores your display preference (light or dark mode)
photomea_currency

Analytics & Support
These help us understand how our application performs and enable us to provide customer support.
Vercel Analytics
We use Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights to monitor website performance and page load times. These tools are privacy-focused — they do not track individual users or use cookies for advertising.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors find and use this website — such as which pages are viewed and which buttons are clicked — so we can improve it. It only runs after you accept analytics cookies, and we have configured it so the data is not used for advertising.
Google Ads
If you accept marketing cookies, we may use Google Ads to measure how our advertising performs and to show you more relevant ads. This is never enabled without your consent.
Analytics and advertising cookies are never set until you opt in — and you can withdraw your consent at any time.
