This Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on www.sna-consult.com by the data controller SnA Danışmanlık Ltd. Şti. (“SnA Consulting”, “we”). The full privacy notice for personal data processed through cookies is in our Privacy Policy. If the English and Turkish versions differ, the Turkish version prevails.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. Browser local storage (localStorage) is a similar technology. In this policy both are called “cookies”.
2. Cookies We Use
The website uses only two kinds of cookies: strictly necessary cookies that make the website and contact form work, and analytics cookies that run only with your consent. We do not use advertising, marketing or social media cookies.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Consent / Legal basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| sna_contact | SnA Consulting (first party) | Necessary: session and forged-request (CSRF) protection for the contact form. Set only when you interact with the form. | Browser session | No consent needed; legitimate interest (KVKK Art. 5/2(f); GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)) |
| sna_cookie_consent (local storage) | SnA Consulting (first party) | Necessary: remembering your cookie choice. Not sent to us. | 12 months | No consent needed; legal obligation (KVKK Art. 5/2(ç); GDPR Art. 6(1)(c)) |
| Cloudflare Turnstile | Cloudflare, Inc. (challenges.cloudflare.com) | Necessary: bot verification on the contact form. Loaded only when you interact with the form; not used for advertising or tracking. | Subject to Cloudflare’s policy | No consent needed; legitimate interest (KVKK Art. 5/2(f); GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)) |
| _ga | Google Analytics (first-party cookie, data goes to Google LLC) | Analytics: distinguishing visitors | 12 months after the last visit | Consent required; explicit consent (KVKK Art. 5/1; GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)) |
| _ga_F1XFL9BP59 | Google Analytics (first-party cookie, data goes to Google LLC) | Analytics: keeping session state | 12 months after the last visit | Consent required; explicit consent (KVKK Art. 5/1; GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)) |
| Google Maps cookies (e.g. NID) | Google LLC (google.com, third party) | Only if you press “Show map” on the Contact page: displaying the map and Google’s own purposes | Subject to Google’s policy | Consent required; the explicit consent you give by pressing the button (KVKK Art. 5/1; GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)) |
Google signals and ad personalisation are turned off in Google Analytics. Google Analytics 4 uses your IP address to estimate approximate location and does not store it. User- and event-level analytics data on Google’s servers is kept for 2 months. Fonts and animation files are hosted locally on this website; no connection is made to Google Fonts or jsDelivr.
3. How to Manage Your Choices
Cookie Banner
On your first visit a cookie banner appears at the bottom of the page. Until you choose, no analytics cookie is set and Google Analytics does not load.
- Accept: turns on Google Analytics.
- Reject: Google Analytics does not load. You can keep using the website and the contact form.
- Customize: opens a window where you can set your choice in detail.
Withdrawing Consent
You can change your choice at any time with the “Cookie Settings” button at the bottom of every page. When you withdraw consent, Google Analytics stops sending data and the _ga and _ga_* cookies are deleted from your browser. Your choice is kept for 12 months and you are asked again when it expires.
Browser Settings
You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block necessary cookies, the contact form may not work.
Google also offers a browser add-on that stops Google Analytics from collecting data on all websites: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
4. Third Parties and International Transfers
Data processed through Google Analytics, Google Maps and Cloudflare Turnstile is transferred to the countries where these providers have data centres, in particular the USA. The transfer mechanisms are explained in Section 4 of the Privacy Policy. For the providers’ own practices:
5. Changes to This Policy
We update this policy when we add a new cookie or service provider. The current version is published on this page with its “Last Updated” date. If a new cookie that needs consent is added, you will be asked again.
6. Contact Us
