7. Security-Purpose Cookies
Security-focused cookies may be used to protect user accounts, prevent unauthorized access attempts, and ensure session security.
Browser Identifier Cookie (fp_cihaz)
For security and error tracking purposes, an identifier cookie named fp_cihaz is placed in your browser when you open the sign-in or registration page, or when you sign in to your account. It is not placed for visitors who browse the website without signing in. The cookie contains a randomly generated code; it does not contain any personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number.
- Purpose: To be able to tell which browser account sign-ins and actions come from; to detect suspicious access and technical errors; and to protect account security.
- What is stored: The random code in the cookie is kept in security records associated with your account when you sign in (sign-in time and the requests made).
- Retention period: At most 90 days (the period restarts each time you sign in). You can delete it at any time from your browser settings; if you do, a new random code is generated on your next visit.
- It is not used for advertising or tracking and is not shared with third parties.
FotoPicks mobile applications likewise use an application-specific technical device identifier for the same purpose.
