What is a cookie
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device through your browser when you visit a website. Cookies may serve different purposes, such as making a page work technically, remembering your preferences, measuring visit statistics or displaying advertising.
- SessionSession cookies are deleted when the browser is closed; they are usually necessary for the page to function.
- PersistentPersistent cookies remain on the device until their set lifetime expires or the user deletes them.
- First partyFirst-party cookies are set by the website being visited.
- Third partyThird-party cookies are set by another provider embedded in the page (a map, a video, an advertising network).
Similar technologies such as local storage (localStorage / sessionStorage) and tracking pixels can serve comparable functions. This policy also covers those technologies.
Cookie use on this site
Our website is a showcase site with no membership, cart, payment or personalisation features. It therefore sets no cookies intended to track visitor behaviour. The status of each cookie type on our site is as follows:
| Cookie type | Purpose | Duration | Status on our site |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary / technical | Serving the page, security and infrastructure routing | Session | Not set by our site; the hosting infrastructure may use technical cookies for security purposes |
| Preference / functionality | Remembering language, region or appearance settings | Persistent | Not used — the language preference is determined by the URL path (/en), not by a cookie |
| Analytics / performance | Visit statistics, page performance and usage measurement | Persistent | Not used — our site contains no analytics measurement tool |
| Marketing / targeting | Ad delivery, retargeting and profiling | Persistent | Not used — there is no advertising network or social media pixel |
Our site also stores no local storage (localStorage / sessionStorage) records intended to identify or track visitors.
Technical cookies of our hosting provider — being confirmed
Why there is no cookie consent banner
According to the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority's guidance on cookie practices, only cookies strictly necessary for providing the service may be used without explicit consent; analytics, preference and marketing cookies require the data subject's explicit consent.
As our site uses no cookie that would require explicit consent, no banner collecting cookie consent is displayed. If a cookie or tracking tool requiring consent is added to our site, we will implement consent management and update this policy before that tool goes live.
Third-party embedded content
If embedded third-party content such as a map or a video is added to one of our pages, the relevant provider may set its own cookies, which are subject to that provider's privacy policy. Where we use such content, we will give notice on the page concerned and update the table in this policy.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can manage cookies through your browser at any time, delete existing cookies or block new ones. The location of these settings varies by browser and version, but they are usually found under the following headings:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies / Site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage cookies and website data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage cookies and site data
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent some functions of the websites you visit from working. The content of our website remains viewable even when cookies are blocked.
Legal framework
- Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data — processing of cookie data that qualifies as personal data
- Personal Data Protection Authority, Guidelines on Cookie Practices — the distinction between strictly necessary cookies and those requiring explicit consent
- Electronic Communications Law No. 5809 — the general framework for subscribers' traffic and location data
To the extent that data obtained through cookies qualifies as personal data, the legal grounds, retention periods and data subject rights set out in the Personal Data Protection Notice apply.
Updates to this policy
This Cookie Policy is updated whenever the technologies used on our site or the applicable legislation change. The current version is always published on this page, and we review the text before any new tool requiring cookies is added to our site.
This text is provided for information purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Before publication, we will verify our hosting infrastructure's cookie list and have the text approved by our legal counsel; the final text will be published on this page once that process is complete.
