It explains what cookies are, what categories of cookies may be used on our website, what type of information may be processed through them, for what purposes such information may be used, and how users can manage their cookie preferences. For further information on how personal data is processed in connection with the website, users may also refer to the Privacy Notice.
Cookies are small text files that may be placed on a user’s device when a website is visited. They may be used for purposes such as ensuring the operation and security of the website, remembering preferences, measuring performance and, in some cases, improving user experience.
Gençoğlu Partners aims to use cookies and similar technologies in a lawful, proportionate and website-appropriate manner.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of data stored on your device through your browser when you visit a website. Through cookies, a website may remember certain information and perform certain functions more efficiently on future visits.
Cookies are not always used to identify a user directly. In many cases, they are used to support the basic functioning of a website, remember preferences, enhance security or enable technical assessment of website use.
2. Categories of Cookies That May Be Used
The Gençoğlu Partners website may use the following categories of cookies:
a. Strictly Necessary / Functional Cookies
These cookies may be necessary for the website to operate properly, securely and consistently. For example:
session and page functionality,
security-related measures,
preservation of language or preference settings,
technical management of form submission processes,
retention of user consent preferences.
Without these cookies, certain parts of the website may not function properly.
b. Statistics / Analytics Cookies
These cookies may help us understand how visitors use the website. For example, they may relate to which pages are viewed, which content attracts more attention, how users navigate through the website and how the website performs generally.
These cookies may be used to assess website performance, improve content and enhance user experience.
Where required by applicable law, such non-essential cookies will be activated only after the user has provided consent.
c. Preference Cookies
These cookies may be used to remember a user’s previous choices. For example, language selection or certain user preferences may be retained through such cookies.
d. Third-Party Content Cookies
If the website uses third-party tools, embedded content, maps, media elements, social media features or similar components, the relevant third-party providers may use their own cookies or similar technologies.
Gençoğlu Partners may not have direct control over such third-party technologies. Users should review the relevant cookie and privacy policies of those providers separately.
3. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
Cookies may be placed either by the website itself or by third-party providers supplying content, security, analytics or similar services to the website.
First-party cookies are associated directly with the website visited by the user. Third-party cookies may operate under the technical infrastructure and policies of the relevant third-party provider.
4. Session Cookies and Persistent Cookies
Cookies may also differ depending on their retention period.
Session cookies may expire once the browser session ends. Persistent cookies may remain on the device for a defined period or until deleted by the user. The actual duration of a cookie depends on its technical purpose and the current configuration of the website.
5. Purposes of Use
Cookies and similar technologies may be used for the following purposes:
to ensure the technical operation of the website,
to support security and system integrity,
to remember user preferences,
to manage user consent preferences,
to evaluate website performance,
to improve content structure and user experience,
to analyze visitor interaction at a statistical level.
6. Legal Basis and Consent
For non-essential cookies, user consent will be relied upon where required by applicable law. Users may review, change or withdraw their cookie preferences at any time through the cookie preference tool made available on the website.
Strictly necessary cookies may be used to the extent required for the operation, security or provision of core website services expressly requested by the user.
7. Retention Periods
The retention period of cookies may vary depending on the type and function of the cookie.
Session cookies may expire when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies may remain on the device for a defined period or until deleted by the user.
The names, providers and durations of cookies actually used may change depending on the technical configuration of the website. Current cookie details may therefore also be reflected, where relevant, through the cookie management tool or applicable technical scan results.
8. Third-Party Service Providers
Certain services used on the website may be provided by third parties. Depending on the current technical structure of the website, such providers may include analytics tools, form services, security solutions, embedded media content providers or similar service providers.
Where such third-party services are used, their own data processing, cookie and privacy practices may apply. Gençoğlu Partners does not exercise full control over the internal practices of third-party websites or tools.
9. Managing Cookies
Users may manage cookie preferences in the following ways:
through the cookie preference tool made available on the website,
by blocking or deleting certain cookies through browser settings,
by withdrawing previously given consent.
However, disabling certain cookies may affect the proper functioning of parts of the website.
10. Browser Settings
Many web browsers allow users to manage, restrict or delete cookies. Browser settings may apply on a browser-by-browser and device-by-device basis. Users who access the website through multiple devices or browsers should therefore review their settings separately.
