This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on the idesmart.com website (the "Site") operated by IDE Smart Teknoloji Anonim Şirketi ("IDE Smart"). It follows the Cookie Guidelines of the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority. For general information on how we process personal data, see the Privacy Policy and Privacy Notice.
In case of any discrepancy between this English version and the Turkish version, the Turkish version prevails.
1. What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. Local storage and session storage serve a similar purpose: they are records kept in your browser that only the website that created them can read. In this policy we call all of them "cookies".
2. In short
- The Site does not use advertising, marketing or analytics cookies.
- The Site's own cookies are only those strictly necessary for it to work, and they contain no personal data.
- The Site does not load content (embedded maps, videos, etc.) from third-party servers, so no third-party cookies are set (see section 4).
3. Cookies used by the Site
The following are IDE Smart's own (first-party) records. They are strictly necessary and therefore do not depend on your consent.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
idesmart_cookie_consent |
Cookie | Remembers your choice in the cookie notice ("Accept" / "Reject") so that the notice is not shown on every page. | 1 year |
idesmart_cookie_consent |
Local storage | The same choice as the cookie above; a fallback for browsers that block cookies. | Until you delete it |
ide:pending-section |
Session storage | Temporarily holds the target section when you use the menu to jump from another page to a section of the home page; deleted as soon as it is read. | Until the tab is closed |
These records do not identify you, are not shared with other websites and are not sent to our
servers (like any cookie, idesmart_cookie_consent is sent by your browser with requests to
the Site, but it is not processed on the server).
4. Third-party content
The Site loads no content from third-party servers. Our address in the contact section is a link that opens Google Maps in a new tab only when you click it; until you do, no request is sent to Google.
4.1 Social media links
The Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and LinkedIn icons at the bottom of the Site are plain links; no content is loaded from these platforms and they do not set cookies unless you click them. Once you click, the platform's own policies apply.
4.2 Fonts
The fonts and icons used on the Site are served from IDE Smart's own servers; no requests are sent to third parties for them.
5. Managing your choices
Cookie notice: On your first visit you can choose "Accept" or "Reject" in the notice. Because the Site does not use any non-essential cookies of its own, neither option changes how the Site works; only your choice is recorded.
Changing your choice: If you delete the Site's cookies and site data in your browser, the notice is shown again on your next visit.
Browser settings: You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings:
If you block strictly necessary cookies, the cookie notice is shown again on every visit.
6. Legal basis
The strictly necessary cookies used by the Site itself are used under Article 5(2)(f) of KVKK (legitimate interest) and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR so that the Site can work as you requested; they do not require consent.
7. Changes and contact
This policy is updated whenever a new cookie or third-party content is added to the Site; the "Last updated" date at the top changes accordingly. Questions: info [at] idesmart.com.
