Abstract

In the European Union, cookies have been specifically regulated under 2002/58/EC (E-Privacy Directive). However, such Directive fails to reflect technological advancements and to answer modern needs. Therefore, it is expected to be replaced by the E-Privacy Regulation soon. E-Privacy Regulation is an extension of the General Data Protection Regulation in the field of electonic communications sector and one of the main subjects that stands out within the Regulation is cookies. Unlike EU law, in Turkish law, there is no direct regulation applicable to all cookies and this causes uncertainty with respect to the applicable rules. In this regard, Turkish law falls behind EU standards in terms of cookie regulations and currently Turkish law is unable to respond to current needs and to meet the expectations of the market. Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 is also unable to answer current problems as it has not prepared to exclusively legislate cookies. To catch up with the needs of the digital era and establish sustainable relations with European Union, Turkish law must be revised in accordance with the EU law and the latest technological advancement.

Özet

Çerezler, Avrupa Birliği’nde 2002/58/EC sayılı Direktif (E-Gizlilik Directifi) ile özel olarak düzenlenmektedir. Ancak, teknojik gelişme ve modern ihtiyaçlara cevap veremeyen bu düzenlemenin yakın bir gelecekte yerini E-Gizlilik Tüzüğüne bırakması beklenmektedir. E-Gizlilik Tüzüğü, Genel Veri Koruma Tüzüğü’nün elektronik haberleşme sektöründeki yansıması ve parçası olarak hazırlanmış olup, Tüzük kapsamında öne çıkan konulardan başlıca bir tanesi ise çerez uygulamalarıdır. AB hukukundan farklı olarak, Türk hukukunda tüm çerez uygulamaları bakımından doğrudan doğruya uygulanabilir bir düzenleme bulunmadığından, çerezlerin tabi olduğu kurallara ilişkin bir belirsizlik söz konusudur. Bu bağlamda, Türk hukuku çerez düzenlemeleri bakımından AB mevzuatının gerisinde kalmakta, güncel ihtiyaçlara yanıt verememekte ve sektörün beklentilerini karşılayamamaktadır. 6698 sayılı Kişisel Verilerin Korunması Kanunu da münhasıran çerezlerin tabi olacağı hukuki rejimi düzenlemek amacıyla kaleme alınmadığından, güncel soru ve ihtiyaçlara yanıt verememektedir. Dijital çağın gereklerini yakalayabilmek ve AB ile sürdürülebilir bir ekonomik ve politik ilişki kurabilmek için, Türk hukukunun AB mevzuatı ve teknolojik gelişmelerle uyumlu hale getirilmesi gerekmektedir.
