1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE
BODE Araç Kapı Sistemleri Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. (“COMPANY”) uses cookies and similar technologies on the website www.bode-global.com.tr (“Site”) operated by it in order to operate the Site, remember user preferences and, where the user gives permission, analyze use of the Site.
This “Cookie Policy” has been prepared to provide information about the types of cookies and similar technologies used on the Site, their purposes of use, legal grounds, retention periods, and how users can manage their cookie preferences.
Detailed information on the general processing of personal data by the COMPANY is provided in the “General Privacy Notice”, while the general privacy approach applicable to the Site is set out in the “Privacy Policy”.
2. WHAT IS A COOKIE?
Cookies are small data files that may be stored on a user’s device through the internet browser when a website is visited.
Cookies may be used for purposes such as technically operating the website, providing security and session functions, remembering user preferences such as language, or, where permission is given, measuring use of the website.
Cookies may be cl1assified, by duration of use, as session cookies / persistent cookies and, by the party placing them, as first-party / third-party cookies.
3. COOKIE CATEGORIES USED ON THE WEBSITE
Under the current technical setup, the COMPANY website has two main categories:
A. Strictly Necessary / Functional Cookies: Site cookies used to enable the basic functions of the Site or to implement a preference explicitly requested by the user. These cookies may, depending on their nature and purpose of use, be used on the basis of applicable conditions for processing personal data under Article 5 of the KVKK that do not require explicit consent.
B. Analytical / Measurement Cookies: Cookies used to obtain statistical information on how users use the Site, distinguish visitors and sessions, and evaluate Site performance.
C. Advertising / Marketing Cookies: Under the current technical setup of the COMPANY website, cookies for advertising or marketing purposes are not used.
4. COOKIES USED
Under the current technical setup of the COMPANY website, functional/language preference cookies and, where the user gives permission, Google Analytics analytical cookies are used.
Analytical cookies are used to measure and statistically evaluate website usage and are not activated without the user’s explicit consent.
No cookies are used for advertising or marketing purposes.
The technical names, providers and retention periods of cookies may be updated as necessary in parallel with changes to the technical infrastructure.
5. MANAGING COOKIE PREFERENCES
When the Site is first visited, users are informed about the use of cookies. Under the target technical setup, the user is offered the “Accept” and “Reject” options. If the user does not make any choice, analytical cookies are not activated.
Ø When “Reject” is selected; only cookies required for operation of the Site and for functions explicitly requested by the user continue to be used. Google Analytics analytical cookies are not activated.
Ø When “Accept” is selected; the user’s explicit consent to analytical cookies is obtained and Google Analytics analytical/measurement technologies may be activated.
6. COOKIE PREFERENCE STORAGE AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
To remember the user’s cookie preferences, localStorage or similar local storage technologies may be used in the browser. This record is used solely to remember the user’s cookie preference and to apply the same preference mechanism on subsequent visits to the Site.
7. GOOGLE ANALYTICS
The COMPANY uses Google Analytics 4 to measure and statistically evaluate use of the Site where the user permits analytical cookies.
In this context, data such as visit and session information, online identifiers, IP address, and technical information related to the device/browser may be processed as part of the technical operation of Google Analytics.
Explicit consent regarding the use of analytical cookies does not replace the legal mechanism for cross-border data transfers under Article 9 of the KVKK.
8. GOOGLE MAPS AND EXTERNAL CONTENT
The COMPANY website may use the Google Maps service. If Google Maps is technically loaded, the user’s IP address and similar technical information may be transmitted to the relevant third-party service provider.
9. CROSS-BORDER TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA
Use of Google Analytics, Google Maps or the infrastructure of other service providers located abroad may result in personal data being transferred abroad. Such transfers are carried out only if one of the applicable conditions set out in Article 9 of the KVKK is met.
Before activating or continuing to use a service involving regular cross-border data transfers, the COMPANY evaluates the parties to the transfer, the data categories, the purposes of transfer and the applicable legal transfer mechanism.
10. MANAGING COOKIES THROUGH THE BROWSER
Users may use their internet browser settings to view or delete cookies stored on their devices or block the use of certain cookies.
Completely blocking certain strictly necessary or functional cookies through the browser may cause some features of the Site not to work as expected.
Nevertheless, the COMPANY follows the principle of providing a direct preference option on the Site for non-essential analytical cookies rather than leaving this preference solely to browser settings.
11. RIGHTS UNDER THE KVKK
Site users have the rights set out in Article 11 of the KVKK in relation to their personal data. For the methods and explanations concerning the exercise of these rights, the “KVKK Data Subject Application Form” published on the COMPANY website may be consulted. Detailed information on the general processing of personal data is available in the “General Privacy Notice”.
