This Cookie Policy explains which cookies and similar technologies are used on kemerdemir.com and how you can manage your preferences. Apart from what is strictly necessary for our website to work, analytics cookies and third-party content such as the map are used only with your consent.
What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files that the websites you visit save in your browser and that can be sent back to the relevant server with each request. Local storage (localStorage) is a similar technology that allows websites to store information in your browser; unlike cookies, the information stored there is not sent to the server automatically.
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called first-party cookies, while those set by another service provider are called third-party cookies. Cookies can also be classified as strictly necessary for the website to work, or as optional cookies used for purposes such as analytics or advertising.
Strictly Necessary Storage We Use
The following entries are kept only in your browser and are not sent to our server. They are needed for our website to work and display as you request and therefore do not depend on your consent:
- kd-consent (local storage, first party): remembers your cookie choice so that the cookie banner is not shown again on every visit. It contains only your choice and the date you made it, holds no information intended to identify you and is updated when you change your choice. You are asked again after 12 months; the entry stays on your device until you clear your browser data.
- kd-visit (session storage, first party): ensures that the opening animation is shown only once per visit. It contains only the value “1” and is deleted when you close the browser tab.
Third-Party Content
The Google Maps content on our contact page is not loaded by default. The map is loaded only if you click “Load Map” or allow the map in the cookie banner (“Accept All”, or the “Map” option under “Customise”); this relies on your explicit consent (KVKK Art. 5(1)).
Once the map is loaded, your browser connects directly to the servers of Google LLC. Google may receive data such as your IP address and browser information, set its own cookies and process this data on servers outside Türkiye. The content and lifetime of these cookies are determined by Google and are subject to Google's privacy policy. Details on transfers abroad are provided in our Personal Data Protection Notice (KVKK).
The phone and WhatsApp links on our website only open the relevant app or page when you click them; until then, they do not load any third-party content on our website. When you use WhatsApp, WhatsApp's own privacy and cookie policies apply.
Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google LLC, for visitor statistics. Google Analytics is loaded only if you click “Accept All” in the cookie banner, or tick the “Analytics” option under “Customise” and click “Save Choices”; until you consent, no data is sent to Google Analytics. This relies on your explicit consent (KVKK Art. 5(1)).
With Google Analytics we measure the pages viewed, how visitors arrive at our website, device and browser types, approximate location (country and city) and the number of interactions such as contact form submissions and clicks on our phone and WhatsApp links. The information you type into the form, such as your name, phone number, e-mail address and message, is not sent to Google. Google signals and ad personalisation are turned off, and Google Analytics does not log your IP address. The data is processed on Google servers outside Türkiye, in particular in the United States; the legal basis and possible risks of this transfer are explained in our Personal Data Protection Notice (KVKK).
With your consent, Google Analytics sets the following first-party cookies on our domain:
- _ga: stores a random ID used to distinguish visitors. Lifetime: 13 months from your last visit.
- _ga_LNGB63KVZS: stores the state of your session (for example, when it started, how many visits you have made and the time of your last interaction). Lifetime: 13 months from your last visit.
Advertising Cookies
Our website does not use advertising cookies. Fonts and videos are served from the server that hosts our website, so no connection to third-party providers is made to load them.
Managing Your Preferences and Withdrawing Consent
In the cookie banner shown on your first visit, you can accept all optional cookies with “Accept All”, reject them with “Necessary Only”, or use “Customise” to allow analytics cookies and the map separately. You can change your choice and withdraw your consent at any time by reopening the banner via the “Cookie Preferences” link in the footer of our website. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
If you withdraw your consent to analytics cookies, Google Analytics stops and the _ga cookies on our domain are deleted. If you withdraw your consent to the map, it will no longer load automatically on our website; however, cookies previously set by Google may remain in your browser. You can remove them, as well as the kd-consent entry, using the options for deleting cookies and site data in your browser settings. Browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge also let you block or delete cookies; if you delete the kd-consent entry, the cookie banner will be shown again on your next visit.
