1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies such as local storage (localStorage) and session storage (sessionStorage) are also covered by this policy. This policy is prepared in line with Turkish Law No. 6698 (KVKK) and the Turkish Data Protection Authority's Guideline on Cookie Practices.
2. Our Approach: Analytics Only With Your Explicit Consent
This is a statically published informational website with no member login or e-commerce. We use Google Analytics (GA4) for visit statistics; however, GA4 loads only if you give explicit opt-in consent via the cookie banner on this site. Unless you accept — or if you leave the banner unanswered — no analytics script runs and no analytics cookie is set. No marketing/targeting tool (e.g. Meta Pixel) is in use as of the date of this policy; if one is added in the future, it will be wired to the same consent gate and this page will be updated. All site assets, including fonts, are served from our own domain.
3. Cookies and Similar Technologies in Use
| Name | Provider | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare security cookies (__cf_bm etc.) | Cloudflare (hosting/security infrastructure) | Strictly necessary | Bot protection, security and traffic management; cannot be disabled | ~30 minutes |
| sa_intro | This site (sessionStorage) | Functional (first party) | Prevents the opening animation from replaying within the same session | Session |
| drSinanVIPState_v2 | This site (localStorage — /vip page only) | Functional (first party) | Remembers your task progress on the VIP page, on your device | Until deleted |
| sa_consent_v1 | This site (localStorage) | Functional (first party) | Remembers the accept/decline choice you made in the cookie banner | Until deleted |
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics (third party) | Analytics — only after explicit consent | Visit statistics (page views, sessions); IP anonymisation is enabled | ~2 years |
| Google Maps cookies | Google (third party) | Functional — Contact page only | Operation of the embedded map; Google may set cookies under its own policy | Per Google's policy |
Local/session storage entries are not sent to any server; they remain on your device and can be removed by clearing your browser data.
4. Third-Party Links
- WhatsApp: WhatsApp buttons on this site redirect you to WhatsApp; no cookie is set by this site during the redirect. Meta's privacy policy applies within WhatsApp.
- Google Maps: An embedded map exists only on the Contact page. If you prefer the map not to load, our address is also published as text on the same page.
- Face analysis (EntityMed): The analysis tool is not embedded in this site; the link opens EntityMed's own website in a new tab, where EntityMed's privacy/cookie policy applies.
- Social media and video links: Instagram, YouTube and similar links are redirects only; no social media tracking code or embedded video player runs on this site.
5. Your Choices
Analytics cookies rely on your explicit consent (KVKK Art. 5/1); you can change your choice at any time:
The button reopens the cookie banner; if you choose "Decline", analytics tracking stops and existing analytics cookies are deleted.
Strictly necessary security cookies are required for the safe operation of the site and rely on legitimate interest (KVKK Art. 5/2-f). You can always delete or block cookies and site data via your browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge → Privacy/Cookies).
6. Updates to This Policy
This policy is updated as the technologies we use or the applicable rules change; the current version is always published at this address with its last-updated date.
