This policy explains the cookies and similar browser storage technologies used on the Pelin Strafor & Süs Atölyesi website, what they are used for and how you can manage your preferences. It has been prepared with reference to the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority’s Guide on Cookie Practices.
1. What is a cookie?
Cookies are small text files that a website you visit saves in your browser. The browser’s local storage (localStorage) is a similar technology used for the same kind of purpose; in this policy both are referred to as “cookies”. Cookies can be grouped by duration into session and persistent cookies, by source into first-party and third-party cookies, and by purpose into strictly necessary, functional, analytics and advertising / marketing cookies.
2. Cookies used on our website
Our website only uses first-party cookies that are necessary for the website to work. No advertising, marketing or third-party analytics cookies are used; fonts and images are also served from our own server. There is no embedded map, video or social media content on the website.

3. Legal ground and consent
The cookies above are necessary for the website to work and for providing the service you request, so they are used without seeking your explicit consent, under Article 5(2)(c) and (f) of the Personal Data Protection Law.
If analytics or marketing cookies are used on the website in the future, they will be off by default and only enabled after you give your explicit consent with the “Accept” option in the cookie notice. In that case this policy and the table above will also be updated.
4. Managing your preferences
The first time you visit the website, you will see a cookie notice in the bottom right corner of the screen (at the bottom on mobile). The “Accept” and “Reject” options are presented equally; rejecting does not prevent you from using the website. Your choice is remembered for 12 months and you will be asked again at the end of that period. You can change your preference at any time using the “Cookie preferences” link at the bottom of the page or here.
You can also delete or block cookies and site data in your browser’s privacy settings. In that case your cookie preference will not be remembered and the notice will be shown again on your next visit.
5. Links to other websites
When you click the Instagram, Facebook or WhatsApp links on our website, you go to that service’s website or app. These services may use their own cookies, which are subject to their own cookie and privacy policies. Unless you click the link, no information is sent from our website to these services.
