What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file saved to your browser when you visit a website. Cookies let sites remember your preferences; they can also be used to track visitors.

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser; persistent cookies stay on your device for a set period.

Strictly necessary cookies

Two first-party cookies that the site needs to work and that do not require consent:

NEXT_LOCALE: Remembers the language you selected (Türkçe / English). Contains only “tr” or “en”. Session cookie — deleted when you close your browser. Set only when you change the language, or when your browser's language differs from the one you are viewing.
aselsis-cerez-onayi: Remembers your answer to the cookie notice (“kabul” = accept or “ret” = reject) so the notice does not reappear on every visit. Lasts 6 months.

These cookies contain no personal data, do not identify the visitor and are not shared with third parties.

Statistics cookies (only with your consent)

If you choose “Accept all” in the cookie notice, or switch statistics cookies on under “Manage cookies”, Google Analytics 4 is loaded to measure how the site is used and writes the cookies below. Without your consent these cookies are never created and no request is sent to Google.

_ga: Google Analytics — a random ID that tells your browser apart on repeat visits. Lasts 2 years.
_ga_<id>: Google Analytics — keeps visit (session) state. Lasts 2 years.
Provider: Google (Google Analytics). The data is processed on Google's servers outside Türkiye.
Our settings: Advertising features and Google signals off; data retention 2 months; runs only on aselsis.com

The name, e-mail or phone number you enter in a form is never sent to Google Analytics.

What we do not use

We spell this out because the opposite is true of most corporate sites. None of the following are present here:

Advertising, retargeting and profiling cookies — advertising features are switched off in Google Analytics as well
Social media tracking pixels (Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag and similar)
Third-party font servers — typefaces are served from our own server, with no request to Google Fonts
Browser fingerprinting techniques
Visitor tracking through local storage (localStorage / sessionStorage)

Another piece of third-party content is the Google Maps box on the Contact page. It does not load by itself; it opens only when you press “Show the map”, and only then can Google's own cookies be set. If you do not press it, no Google cookie is created on that page either.

How to give and withdraw consent

On your first visit a cookie notice appears at the bottom of the screen. If you choose “Accept all”, Google Analytics is loaded. Under “Manage cookies” you can see each category, switch statistics cookies on or off, or choose “Reject all”; then Google Analytics is not loaded and the site works exactly the same. Your choice is kept in the “aselsis-cerez-onayi” cookie for 6 months.

You can withdraw your consent at any time: the button below opens the cookie settings. When you switch statistics cookies off, the Google Analytics cookies are deleted.

Managing cookies in your browser

Every browser lets you view, delete and block cookies. These settings are usually found under Privacy and security in the browser's Settings.

If you block this site's cookies, the site keeps working; only your language preference and cookie choice will not be remembered. You can always go straight to the language you want using the /tr or /en prefix in the address bar.

Changes

If the site's use of cookies changes, this page will be updated and the date at the top changed.
