Cookie Policy
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains the cookies used on ionsis.com and its subdomains (the "Site"), operated by Ionic Stone Maden San. ve Tic. Ltd. Şti. ("IONSIS", "we" or "us"). It sets out which cookies we use and why, the legal basis for using them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
Personal data obtained through cookies is processed in accordance with the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 ("KVKK") and other applicable legislation. For details on how we process your personal data, please see our KVKK Information Notice.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that your browser stores on your device when you visit a website. They let the site recognise your device, remember your preferences, and run more securely and efficiently.
By lifespan, cookies fall into two groups:
- Session cookies: Deleted automatically when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: Remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.
By origin, cookies also fall into two groups:
- First-party cookies: Set directly by IONSIS.
- Third-party cookies: Set by partners who provide us with analytics, infrastructure or marketing services.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
| Cookie type | Purpose | Legal basis | Consent required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary cookies | Running the Site, security, session management, form submission and storing your cookie preferences | KVKK Art. 5/2-c (establishment or performance of a contract) and Art. 5/2-f (legitimate interest) | No |
| Functional cookies | Remembering preferences such as your language choice and providing a personalised experience | KVKK Art. 5/1 (explicit consent) | Yes |

| Marketing / targeting cookies | Showing content and ads relevant to your interests and measuring campaign effectiveness | KVKK Art. 5/1 (explicit consent) | Yes |
Cookies other than strictly necessary cookies are activated only if you give your consent through the cookie management panel. Declining them does not prevent you from using the Site's core features.
4. Third-Party Cookies
The Site may use cookies belonging to third-party providers of analytics, infrastructure and marketing services. Data collected through these cookies is processed by the relevant provider under its own privacy policy. Some of these providers may have servers located outside Türkiye. In that case, data is transferred in compliance with the conditions set out in Article 9 of the KVKK.
We recommend that you review each third-party provider's privacy policy for information about its cookie practices.
5. How Can You Manage Your Cookie Preferences?
On your first visit, the cookie banner lets you accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or choose your preferences by category. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time using the "Cookie Preferences" link on the Site.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings:
If you block all cookies in your browser, strictly necessary cookies will also be disabled, and some parts of the Site may not work properly.
6. Cookie Retention Periods
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies are stored on your device for as long as their purpose requires, and in any case for no longer than 2 (two) years. A record of your cookie choices is kept so that we do not ask you again on every visit.
7. Your Rights Under the KVKK
Under Article 11 of the KVKK, you have the right to: learn whether your personal data is processed and, if so, request information about it; learn the purpose of processing and whether data is used for that purpose; know the third parties in Türkiye or abroad to whom data is transferred; request correction of incomplete or inaccurate data; request erasure or destruction of data under the conditions set out in the KVKK; request that these actions be notified to third parties to whom data was transferred; object to an outcome against you that results solely from automated analysis; and claim compensation for damage caused by unlawful processing.
You can submit requests regarding these rights using the methods described in our KVKK Information Notice.
