This English translation is provided for information only. In case of any discrepancy, the Turkish version prevails.
This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on the aydinticaret.com.tr website (the “Site”) operated by Aydın Ticaret ve Boya Sanayi Ltd. Şti..
What is a cookie?
Cookies are small text files saved to your browser by the website you visit. They allow the site to perform its basic functions, remember your preferences and stay secure.
Cookies we use
- Strictly necessary cookies
- Required for the Site to work securely and correctly: language preference (“NEXT_LOCALE”), administration panel, dealer and sales rep sign-in sessions (“aydin_session”, “aydin_bayi”, “aydin_plasiyer”), your cookie choice (“at_cerez”, 6 months) and the marker that keeps signed-in visits out of measurement (“at_izleme”). If these cookies are disabled, some parts of the Site will not work.
- Analytics cookies
- Used only if you allow them in the cookie notice; before you do, these services are not loaded at all. Google Analytics and Yandex Metrica are used to measure how the Site is used. These services place cookies in your browser to collect information such as the number of visits, the pages viewed, the source of the visit and in-page clicks and navigation (Google Analytics: those starting with “_ga”; Yandex Metrica: those starting with “_ym”). This information is not matched with your name or contact details.
- Cookieless measurement
- Umami, running on the Site’s own server, counts only page views, without writing any cookie or other data to your browser. Visits are told apart by an irreversible, regularly changing hash derived from your network address and browser details; your network address is not stored, only country- and city-level location is derived, and the data is not transferred to any third party.
- Advertising measurement cookies
- The Meta Pixel is used to measure the effectiveness of our Meta (Facebook and Instagram) advertising. The Pixel sends the pages you view and the source of your visit to Meta and places the “_fbp” cookie in your browser (and “_fbc” when you arrive from an ad). It does not depend on your choice in the cookie notice; it does not run while a dealer or sales representative is logged in, or on password reset pages.
- Session recording and heatmaps
- Microsoft Clarity is used to improve how the Site works. Clarity records mouse movements, clicks and scrolling on the page to create a replayable recording of the visit and heatmaps, and places the “_clck” and “_clsk” cookies in your browser. It does not depend on your choice in the cookie notice; it does not run while a dealer or sales representative is logged in, or on password reset pages. These recordings are not matched with your name or contact details.
You can withdraw your permission for analytics cookies at any time from the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer of every page; when you do, the cookies these services wrote to your browser are deleted. You can delete or block the cookies of the Meta Pixel and Microsoft Clarity in your browser settings.
Browser storage
The Site keeps some of your preferences in your browser’s own storage instead of cookies. This information is not sent to our servers and stays on your device only:
- The discount rate you enter and the products you select in the price list — deleted when the browser tab is closed.
- The fact that you dismissed the suggestion to install the site as an app — the suggestion is not shown again for a while.
- The fact that you postponed the notification suggestion — the suggestion is not shown again for a while.
Push notifications
You are subscribed to campaign and news notifications only if you allow them. When you do, your browser creates a notification address specific to this device; we store that address, your language preference and the time of your consent on our servers. Unless you are signed in as a dealer, this record is not linked to your identity; we do not collect your name, e-mail address or location.
If notifications are on in a device where you are signed in to your dealer account, that notification address is linked to your dealer account so that dealer-only announcements can be sent to our dealers only. The link is removed when you sign out of your dealer account; your notification subscription continues as a general subscription.
You can turn notifications off at any time with the bell icon in the top bar of the page (in the menu on phones) or in your browser’s site settings. If you turn them off on the Site, the record is deleted immediately; if you turn them off in the browser, the record becomes invalid at the next sending and is deleted within 30 days.
This processing is based on your explicit consent under Article 5(1) of the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK).
Third-party content
The map on the contact page is an embedded service provided by Google, which may set its own cookies. These cookies are subject to Google’s privacy policy.
Google Analytics and Yandex Metrica are measurement services provided by Google and Yandex; the Meta Pixel and Clarity are provided by Meta Platforms and Microsoft respectively. The usage data these services collect is processed on the relevant companies’ servers abroad, subject to their own privacy policies.
Legal ground
Strictly necessary cookies are processed under sub-paragraphs (c) and (f) of Article 5(2) of the KVKK, to provide the service you request and within the Company’s legitimate interest; they do not rely on your explicit consent.
Analytics cookies rely on your explicit consent under Article 5(1) of the KVKK; since the servers of the measurement services may be located abroad, this consent also covers the transfer of data abroad. Not giving consent does not restrict any function of the Site.
Your choice is recorded as proof of consent, together with its date, the text version, the page where it was given, your network address with its last part removed and your browser details. This record is not matched with your name or contact details.
Cookieless measurement (Umami) relies on the Company’s legitimate interest under sub-paragraph (f) of Article 5(2) of the KVKK, to measure the use of the Site.
Managing cookies
You can change your choice at any time from the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer of every page. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent some functions of the Site from working. You can also delete browser storage from the same settings using the “clear site data” option.
