At Istanbul Metric Lab, our research depends on accurate digital signals. We use cookie technology not for surveillance, but to refine the analytical frameworks that power our innovation-led insights.
To maintain our status as a leading research lab, we analyze how users interact with our published metrics. This helps us determine which data visualizations are most effective for decision-makers in Istanbul's business sector.
Data privacy is the cornerstone of trust in statistical research. Our cookies are strictly limited in scope; we never sell user fingerprints or use tracking for third-party advertising profiles.

We use these to aggregate data on how visitors interact with our research papers. It includes measuring click-through rates on data visualizations and identifying bottleneck pages that load slowly in specific geographic zones.
These remember your settings—such as preferred language or specific data unit formats—so you don't have to re-configure our analytics tools every time you return to the Istanbul Metric Lab portal.
