Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They can serve essential functions, such as remembering a setting, or non-essential ones, such as tracking your behaviour for analytics and advertising.

The cookies this site uses

This site uses analytics cookies, and only after you accept them in the cookie banner. Until you accept, no analytics cookie is set and no request is made to the analytics provider. We set no advertising or retargeting cookies and no social media cookies, and we share nothing for advertising.

Analytics cookies

When you accept, a small number of first-party analytics cookies are set in your browser. The main ones are _ga and one starting with _ga_. They hold a randomly generated identifier, not your name, your e-mail, or anything you typed.

We use them for one purpose: to see, in aggregate, which pages are visited and how people move through the site, so we can improve it. We do not use them for advertising, and we do not try to identify you personally.

These cookies last up to 13 months. Visitor-level and event-level analytics data are kept for 14 months, then deleted; aggregated reports that identify no one may be kept longer.

An analytics provider, acting as our processor, runs the analytics service for us in the USA. Accepting analytics means your usage data is transferred to and processed in the United States. There is no adequacy decision for the USA under Turkish law, so Turkish authorities cannot enforce your rights over that data as directly as inside Turkey, and it is subject to that country's laws. This transfer rests on the explicit consent you give by clicking Accept (KVKK Article 9/6-a).

You can withdraw your consent at any time. Open Cookie settings in the footer and switch analytics off or choose Reject, or clear this site's cookies in your browser. Either one stops analytics at once and deletes the analytics cookies.

Records strictly needed for the site

Apart from analytics, this site keeps a few records in your browser that it needs to work. They are not used for tracking or advertising and need no consent:

Your cookie choice (dt-consent): remembers whether you accepted analytics, so the banner does not ask again. Held in your browser's local storage for 12 months.

Your currency choice (dt-currency): remembers whether you are viewing prices in EUR or TL. Held in your browser's local storage.

A booking in progress (dt-booking records): lets you resume a booking or an interrupted payment. Held only in session storage and cleared by your browser when you close the tab.

No advertising or other tracking

Beyond the analytics above, this site makes no third-party requests from your browser: fonts are self-hosted, there is no advertising technology, no external maps, and no social media widgets.

Changing your choice or blocking cookies

You can reopen the cookie banner at any time through the Cookie settings link in the footer. You can also view, block and delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies does not stop you using the site.
