Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that can be saved to your device or browser when you visit a website. Thanks to these files, site preferences can be remembered, session continuity can be ensured, security measures can be supported and analyses of site usage can be performed. The KVKK guide also considers cookies within the scope of technologies that allow internet site operators to place information on users' devices or retrieve information stored on the devices.

The following types of cookies may be used on our website:

a) Mandatory Cookies These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly, perform basic functions, ensure security and manage user sessions. Without these cookies, some parts of the site may not function properly. The KVKK guide acknowledges that certain cookies may be technically necessary for the service explicitly requested in the information society service.

b) Functionality / Preference Cookies These cookies may be used to remember user preferences, maintain language or similar site settings and provide a more personalized user experience.

c) Analytical / Performance Cookies These cookies may be used to understand how our website is used, measure traffic density, see which pages are visited more and improve service quality. Since your site uses Google Analytics, cookies in this scope may help to perform analyses regarding visitor behavior. The KVKK guide and Board decisions emphasize that in most cases, analytical cookies cannot be considered mandatory cookies and that an appropriate legal basis/preference mechanism needs to be established.

Cookies may be used for the following purposes:

• To provide the basic functions of the website
• To manage the user session
• To protect security and system integrity
• To remember user preferences
• To analyze site usage
• To perform performance and traffic measurement
• To develop the website and improve user experience

The KVKK cookie guide notes that the appropriate legal basis for each cookie usage purpose should be considered separately and that not all cookies should be grouped under the same category.

Google Analytics may be used on our website. Google Analytics is a service that allows statistical and technical analysis of how visitors use the site.

Through this tool, for example:

• Page view numbers,
• Visit duration,
• Traffic sources,
• Device and browser types,
• General usage trends

such information can be analyzed.

The use of such analytical tools may raise the processing of personal data through cookies and similar technologies. In the Board's decision summary regarding the e-commerce sector, the transfer of data processed via cookies abroad and the issue of valid consent were particularly evaluated. Therefore, it is important to establish a preference mechanism for analytical cookies.

The legal basis for the use of cookies varies depending on the type of cookie used.

Mandatory cookies may be necessary for the website to operate and to provide the service explicitly requested by the user.

For analytical/performance cookies and other non-mandatory cookies, a preference/consent mechanism based on the user's choice may be applied where appropriate.

The KVKK guide notes that data controllers cannot automatically rely on the same legal basis for all cookies; especially for non-essential cookies, the disclosure and, where necessary, the explicit consent mechanism must be clear, understandable and based on free will.

Cookie preferences on our website can be managed through the cookie banner/preference panel provided.

Users:

• Can choose whether or not to give consent to non-essential cookies
• Can change their previous preferences
• Can restrict or delete cookies via browser settings.

If you disable cookies via browser settings, some functions of the site may not work as expected.

The Board's decision summary shows that not providing a 'reject' or equivalent easy preference option while offering a 'accept' option and providing ambiguous information can be problematic. Therefore, it is important that the preference mechanism is balanced and understandable.

Some data obtained through cookies may be shared with third-party service providers or processed in systems connected abroad, depending on the technical infrastructure and structure of the analytics service providers used.

In particular:

• Use of Google Analytics
• Website infrastructure
• Technical service and hosting structure

due to the reasons above, some data may come into contact with systems connected abroad.

The KVKK guide and Board decisions explicitly state that in the event of the possibility of transferring data obtained via cookies abroad, this should be evaluated separately.

The cookies used may be kept on your device for different durations depending on their nature. Some cookies remain active only during the browser session, while others may be retained for a certain period.

Cookie durations vary depending on the service used, the purpose of the cookie and the technical infrastructure. A current and detailed list of cookies can be arranged separately according to the technical cookie inventory.

To the extent that your personal data is processed via cookies, you may exercise your rights under Article 11 of the KVKK by applying to the data controller.

These rights generally include:

• Learning whether your personal data is processed
• Requesting information if it has been processed
• Learning the purpose of processing
• Knowing the third parties to whom it is transferred
• Requesting correction, deletion or destruction
• Objecting to an unfavorable result arising from automatic analysis
• Requesting compensation if you suffer damage

These rights are included in the Law itself.
