Cookie Policy
This policy explains the cookies and similar browser records (local storage) used on our website and how you can manage them.
1. What is a cookie?
Cookies and local storage records are small pieces of text data stored in your browser when you visit a website. They can make a site work or remember your preferences.
2. Which cookies do we use?
Our website does not use advertising cookies. The Google Analytics 4 (Google) measurement tool loads only after you consent via “Accept all”; if you do not consent, no analytics cookies are used. Apart from the Google Maps component on the Contact page there are no other third-party components. The following records may be kept:
| Record | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga, _ga_T4WD6BXH8G | Analytics (cookie, Google Analytics; only with consent) | Measures visitors and page usage as anonymous/aggregate statistics | Google’s default: up to 2 years |
ark-cookie-notice | Necessary / functional (local storage) | Remembers that you dismissed the cookie notice | Until you clear browser data |
ark-promo-ts | Functional (local storage, Turkish pages only) | Makes sure the promotional window is shown at most once a day | Shown again after 24 hours; the record stays until deleted |
ark-consent | Preference (local storage, only if a measurement tag is enabled) | Remembers your cookie choice | Until you change or delete it |
3. Third-party components
- Google Maps: the map on the Contact page loads from Google when the page opens; Google may apply its own cookies and privacy terms. If you do not want the map, simply do not open the Contact page or block third-party content in your browser.
- WhatsApp: by clicking the button you are taken to WhatsApp; WhatsApp/Meta terms apply.
4. Analytics and measurement tools
Google Analytics 4 collects aggregate usage statistics such as page views, clicks, device/browser type and approximate location, and this data may be transferred to Google (servers abroad). You enable the tool only by choosing “Accept all”; you can decline with “Necessary only”. You can change your choice via the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer; to withdraw consent you may also need to delete the cookies in your browser.
5. How can you manage cookies?
You can delete or block cookies and site data in your browser settings. If local storage records are deleted, the notice and promotional windows may be shown again. If necessary records are blocked, some conveniences of the site may not work.
6. Contact and updates
