Cookies and similar technologies on the Altınkum Dental website may be used to ensure the secure and proper functioning of the website; remember language and other website preferences; identify technical problems; analyse website usage and performance; improve user experience; generate visitor statistics; use third-party analytics services where permitted; and measure the performance of advertising and marketing activities where the user has provided the legally required consent.

Cookies that are not strictly necessary will not be activated without the user’s consent where no other lawful basis for processing applies under applicable legislation.

When visiting the website for the first time, users may manage non-essential cookies through the cookie preference panel by accepting, rejecting or selecting cookies by category.

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the basic functions and security of the website.

They may be used for purposes such as maintaining website security, protecting session information, carrying out form and security controls and remembering the user’s cookie preferences.

Disabling these cookies may cause certain parts of the website to function incorrectly.

Where permitted by applicable legislation, strictly necessary cookies may be used without obtaining separate explicit consent.

2. Functionality and Preference Cookies

Functionality cookies may be used to remember a visitor’s preferences and provide a more personalised website experience.

These may include language preferences, display settings and other previously selected website preferences.

Where explicit consent is legally required for such cookies, they will not be activated before the user provides the necessary consent.

3. Performance and Analytics Cookies

Performance and analytics cookies may help us understand how visitors use the website.

Information such as pages visited, duration of visits, how users reached the website, technical errors and general usage statistics may be analysed for this purpose.

If Google Analytics or similar analytics services are used on the website, the relevant service providers may use cookies or similar technologies.

Where analytics cookies cannot be based on another lawful processing condition, they will not be activated before the user has provided the required consent.

4. Social Media Cookies

Where the website contains content, links, embedded elements or other components provided by platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, YouTube or other social media services, these third parties may use cookies or similar technologies.

Depending on the relevant platform, such technologies may be used to measure user interactions or associate website activity with user preferences on those platforms.

Where technologies provided by third parties such as Google, Meta or similar service providers are used on the Altınkum Dental website, certain personal data may be transferred to those service providers.

If the relevant service provider processes or stores data on servers located outside Türkiye, this may constitute an international transfer of personal data.
