02No cookies

This website does not use cookies of any kind. No session cookies, persistent cookies or third-party cookies are set in your browser. For this reason, no cookie consent is requested before your visit.

The only thing the site may keep in your browser is one setting: if your browser language is Turkish and you close the notice offering the Turkish version of a page, that choice is saved in your browser's local storage so the notice does not appear again. It contains no personal data, is never sent to us, and is removed when you clear your browser's site data.

03No analytics or tracking tools

Our website does not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, or any similar analytics, tracking, or marketing tools. Visitor behaviour, IP addresses, browser fingerprints, geographic location, or device information is not collected, processed, or shared with third parties by us.

04Data you send us by phone, e-mail or WhatsApp

Our website contains a phone number, an e-mail address and links that open a WhatsApp conversation with us. These are ordinary links: no data is sent to WhatsApp unless you click one.

Retention period: The data is retained within the framework of legal retention obligations specified in applicable legislation and reasonable commercial communication periods. Upon expiration of these periods, data is deleted, destroyed, or anonymised.

Sharing with third parties: The data is not shared with third parties (except where required by legal obligations) and is not used for marketing purposes.

WhatsApp and international transfers: WhatsApp is a messaging service operated by WhatsApp LLC and WhatsApp Ireland Limited (Meta group).
