Cookie Policy

Cookies

As Hatun Istanbul Internal and External Trade Limited Company ("Hatun Istanbul"), we use "cookies" and similar tools on our website to improve website performance and enhance user experience.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small data storage file saved by websites to your computer, mobile phones, tablets, or other mobile devices when you access them. Cookies help analyze web traffic and allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs and preferences by collecting and remembering information about your preferences. Some cookies may contain personal data; for example, if you click the "remember me" option when logging in, the cookie may save your username. Most cookies do not collect personal data that identifies you; instead, they collect more general information such as how users arrived at our website, how they use our websites, or the user's general location.

What do we use cookies for?

For security reasons and to tell whether you have visited our website before, to remember your language preferences if you are a new visitor, or to facilitate navigation and personalize your visit to our website if you are not a new visitor, Hatun Istanbul may install cookies or similar files on your computer or mobile devices. Cookies allow us to collect technical and navigational information, such as browser type, time spent on our website, and pages visited. Depending on their type, cookies generally collect data about your browsing and usage preferences on the device you use to access the Website. This data includes the pages you accessed, the products you viewed, and all information about your navigation on the Website. They also allow us to select which of our advertisements or offers may be more attractive to you and to display them when you visit our website. Cookies can improve your online experience by saving your preferences when you visit a particular website. In general, cookies help us provide you with a better website by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. Cookies do not allow us to access your computer or mobile devices, or any information other than the data you choose to share with us.

What type of cookies do we use?

Cookies can be categorized based on their storage duration as follows:

Session Cookies

These cookies are used during each "session" you open on the Site and expire when you leave our website or very shortly after you leave. These types of cookies are not permanently saved on your computer or mobile devices, are not considered personal data, and help reduce the need for personal data to be transferred online. You can delete these cookies or prevent their use, but doing so degrades the performance of websites and restricts the user experience. These cookies also use timestamps that record the time you access and leave the website.

Tracking Cookies

These cookies allow us to recognize repeat visitors to our website. A tracking cookie records where our website user came from, what type of search engine they might have used, which link they clicked, which keyword they used, and their location in the world when accessing the website, by matching an anonymous, randomly generated identifier. We can improve our website by tracking this data.

Persistent Cookies

This type of cookie is saved on your computer or mobile devices for a fixed period (sometimes a few hours, sometimes a few years or more) and is not deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies are used when we need to remember who you are across multiple sessions. For example, this type of cookie can be used to save your preferences, so they are remembered when you revisit our website.

Cookies can be categorized based on their use as follows:

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are absolutely essential for the Website to function properly. These cookies are needed for system management, to prevent fraudulent transactions, and the Website will not be able to function if they are blocked.

Functionality Cookies: These cookies are used to provide you with a more advanced and easier user experience. For example, they fulfill the functions of remembering your previous preferences and providing easy access to certain content on the Website. You can prevent the use of these cookies as explained in detail below.

Analytics/Performance Cookies: These cookies allow us to analyze and understand how the Website functions and enable us to improve the Website by interacting with you.

Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to identify and present content that may be of interest to you, including advertising content. You can prevent the use of these cookies as explained in detail below. However, blocking these cookies will not completely block advertising content; instead, general advertising content will be presented instead of ads that might be of interest to you.

Can cookies be blocked?

You can accept or reject cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can change your browser settings to reject cookies if you prefer. If you do not wish to accept cookies, most browsers allow you to do the following:

(i) change your browser settings to notify you when you receive a cookie (so you can accept or reject cookies),

(iii) set your browser to automatically reject cookies.

However, please note that if you disable or reject cookies, some features and services on our website may not function properly because we will not be able to recognize and associate your account with our website.
