2. Categories, purposes and legal grounds

• Necessary cookies: Used to maintain the session, ensure form security and remember your cookie preferences. These operations are based on the legal ground that they are necessary for our legitimate interests relating to the secure operation of the site and the implementation of your preferences, provided that this does not harm your fundamental rights and freedoms (KVKK Art. 5/2-f).

3. Cookies used and their durations

First-party cookies are stored under our website's domain, while third-party cookies are stored under the domains of other providers. Data collected through first-party cookies may also be transmitted to service providers. The duration of cookies may be renewed upon a visit or a change of preference; browser settings may shorten this duration.

The duration of a cookie in the browser and the retention period of the data collected in our systems may differ. Data retention periods: Event- and user-based data collected by Google Analytics 4 is retained for 14 months. Meta Pixel data is retained for 90 days.

4. Sharing and cross-border transfer

In line with your preferences, your data is transmitted to Google for usage analysis and to Meta for advertising measurement and remarketing. Website hosting services are obtained from AWS's Frankfurt, Germany infrastructure. Services are obtained from Cloudflare for the routing and security of site traffic, and from Google for the protection of application forms against automated activity.

Cross-border transfers to these providers are safeguarded within the framework of the standard contractual clauses determined by the Personal Data Protection Board, and the relevant agreements have been notified to the Personal Data Protection Authority. Your cookie preference determines the category of data to be shared with these providers; the contractual safeguard mechanism itself is not dependent on cookie consent.

5. Managing your preferences

• Accept all: You give consent to the analytics and advertising categories.
• Reject all: The analytics and advertising categories remain off; necessary cookies continue to operate.
• Manage preferences: You can select and save your preference for each category separately.

After making your selection, you can change your preferences and withdraw your consent at any time via the fixed cookie settings button at the bottom left of the screen. Rejecting analytics and advertising cookies does not prevent you from benefiting from the site's core services.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect operations lawfully carried out beforehand. You may submit your requests regarding previously collected data through the application channels below. You may also delete or block cookies through your browser; blocking necessary cookies may affect some functionality.
