What is a cookie?
Cookies are small text files saved in your browser when you visit a website. They help the site work properly, remember your preferences and, if you consent, show how the site is used. In this policy, similar technologies (local storage, pixels and so on) are also referred to as cookies.
Data controller for personal data processed through cookies: GIOS Plastik ("ottopien"). This policy has been prepared in light of our KVKK Privacy Notice and the Personal Data Protection Authority's Guide on Cookie Practices.
Categories of cookies we use
- Strictly necessary cookies: needed to remember your colour and language choice, for security, and to remember your cookie choice. The site does not work without them, so they are not subject to consent and cannot be turned off. Legal ground: performance of a contract and legitimate interest (KVKK Art. 5/2-c, f).
- Analytics cookies: help us understand, through anonymous or aggregated statistics, which pages are visited, how the site is used and where errors occur. They run only with your explicit consent.
- Marketing cookies: used to show advertising and campaigns suited to you and your interests, and to measure advertising performance; they may be placed by our social media and advertising partners. They run only with your explicit consent.
Consent and managing your preferences
In the cookie panel shown on your first visit, you can accept or reject analytics and marketing cookies separately. "Reject" is as easy to reach as "Accept". These cookies are not loaded unless you consent.
You can change your preferences or withdraw your consent at any time through the "Cookie preferences" link at the bottom of the site. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.
You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block strictly necessary cookies, functions such as your language and colour choice may not work.
Retention periods
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies are kept, depending on their purpose, from a few days up to 13 months. Your cookie choice is remembered for 6 months; after that, we ask again.
Third parties and transfers abroad
Analytics and marketing cookies may be placed by our service providers, whose servers may be located abroad. Data is transferred through these cookies only with your explicit consent and where the conditions of Article 9 of the KVKK are met.
The current list of cookies in use (name, provider, purpose, duration) is in the cookie preferences panel.
