On your first visit Spora Başla shows a banner at the bottom of the page and asks for your choice.

You can change your choice at any time from the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer. The shared cookie policy for Bumba Group sites is at https://bumbagroup.com/cerez-politikasi?dil=en (version 2026-10-21); this page adds the details specific to Spora Başla.

Statistics (only with your permission)
Umami (istatistik.bumba.tr, our own server in Istanbul) only loads if you allow statistics; it does not load after "Reject" or before you make a choice. Umami sets no cookies; what it processes and the legal ground are explained in the Privacy notice under "Visit statistics".
External content (only with your permission)
This content comes from other companies' servers and, when it loads, your IP address goes to them; these companies may use their own cookies. Without permission a placeholder is shown; you can allow it with the button on the placeholder or in Cookie preferences.
- Sport videos: YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com)
- Nearby Facilities map: Google Maps
- Sample coach photos and banners: randomuser.me, loremflickr.com
- Profile photo of people who sign in with Google: Google
Changing your choice
The "Cookie preferences" link in the footer opens the preferences window; you can give or withdraw permission for statistics and external content at any time. Once statistics permission is withdrawn, Umami stops working. If you clear your browser data your choice is cleared too and the site asks again. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings; if the session cookie is blocked you will not be able to sign in.
