Cookie Policy

1. Data Controller and Scope

This policy explains processing of cookies and related visit data on constantinople.av.tr. Information about data processing through forms, email and other initial enquiry channels is provided separately in the Personal Data Protection Notice (KVKK) .

Cookies are small records stored in your browser. Some remember your preferences; others measure visits and sessions. A cookie being stored under our domain does not mean that no data are transmitted to the service provider.

2. Data and Legal Bases

• Preference management: Remembering that a choice was made in the cookie panel, selected categories and rejection preferences. KVKK Article 5/2-ç applies to records necessary for legal obligations concerning notices and implementation of preferences.
• Optional Google Analytics 4 analysis: Analysis of use through visitor and session identifiers, pages visited, interactions, referral sources and device/browser information. The legal basis is explicit consent under KVKK Article 5/1.
• Technical operation and security: The portion of IP addresses, request times and technical transaction records necessary to deliver the website and prevent misuse. Legitimate interest in secure website operation, provided your fundamental rights and freedoms are not harmed: KVKK Article 5/2-f.
• Tilda simplified visit counting: Assessing overall website use through pages visited and technical request information. Legitimate interest in assessing use, provided your fundamental rights and freedoms are not harmed and processing is limited to necessary data: KVKK Article 5/2-f. This activity is separate from security operations and Google Analytics 4 analysis.

Cookies are placed or read electronically and automatically in your browser. You do not have to accept analytics cookies to access website information or contact us.

3. Cookies and Their Lifetimes

Preference records serve a necessary function. Google Analytics 4 cookies serve optional analytics. The following records are stored under our domain; the relevant provider is also identified. Storage under our domain does not mean that no data are transmitted to the provider.

On narrow screens, scroll the table horizontally to see it in full.

*The lifetime configured in the preference code is shown for Tilda, and the provider's default lifetime for Google. Lifetimes may restart when a record is written or renewed according to settings. Measurement settings and browser limits may change the actual duration. You can delete cookies sooner.

A cookie's lifetime on your device is not the same as the provider's data-retention period. When a necessary retention ground no longer exists, personal data are deleted, destroyed or anonymised in accordance with legislation.

4. Technical Operations Without Cookies

Tilda's simplified internal statistics can count visits without creating cookies. This is separate from Google Analytics 4 analysis. Rejecting analytics cookies does not remove every technical request or security record necessary to deliver the website.

Not using cookies does not mean that no personal data are processed. Technical security and usage counting have different purposes. Each operation is considered under its own purpose and legal basis, limited to necessary data.

5. Recipients and Transfers

Tilda and its infrastructure providers receive relevant data for website delivery, preference management and technical operation; Google receives relevant data for Google Analytics 4 analysis. Where a legally binding request or exercise of rights arises, relevant records may also be transferred to competent institutions and judicial authorities to the necessary extent.

Tilda states in its service documentation that it uses infrastructure connected with the European Union and United States. Google services may also involve processing abroad or access from abroad. A cookie appearing to be first-party does not eliminate this possibility of transfer.

In addition to a data-processing condition, international transfers require adequacy or appropriate safeguards under KVKK Article 9. Exceptional cases are governed by the statutory conditions for occasional transfers. Consent to analytics cookies does not automatically replace the legal safeguards required for continuing international transfers.

6. Changing Preferences

In the cookie panel you can accept, reject or choose optional categories individually. You can also withdraw earlier analytics consent in the same panel. Withdrawal does not retrospectively affect earlier lawful processing.

Deleting Browser Records

You can separately delete and block existing cookies through your browser's privacy or site-data settings. If you also delete preference records, you may need to choose again on your next visit. Blocking necessary cookies may affect some functions.

Changing a preference in the panel and deleting old cookies on your device are different actions. Deleting cookies in your browser does not automatically delete data already processed by a provider.

7. Rights and Applications

Under KVKK Article 11, you can learn whether your data are processed, the purpose of processing and whether use matches that purpose, request information and identify third-party recipients. You may request correction of incomplete or inaccurate data, deletion or destruction when statutory conditions apply and notification of those actions to recipients. You may object to an adverse outcome resulting solely from automated analysis and seek compensation for unlawful processing.

You can submit your request by signed written application to the address above, or from an email address you previously provided and which is registered in our system to info@constantinople.av.tr . Other application methods under the Communiqué remain available. The required application information is explained in the application section of the Personal Data Protection Notice .

Applications are concluded as soon as possible and within 30 days at the latest; the response is given in writing or electronically. Processing is generally free; the Board's tariff may apply if additional cost arises.
