COOKIE POLICY

1) Purpose and Scope

This Cookie Policy has been prepared to inform you about the cookies and similar technologies used during the use of Micromarin Yazılım A.Ş. (“Micromarin” or “Our Company”) websites and/or mobile applications (collectively referred to as the “Platform”), to explain which types of cookies we use for which purposes, and how you can manage these cookies. The Policy complies with the principles set out in the Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK) and the guidelines of the Personal Data Protection Authority on “Cookie Practices”; it also takes into account best practices and transparency and consent standards adopted in international guidelines.

2) What is a Cookie?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.) when you visit a website or use a mobile application. Cookies allow your device to be recognized, remember your preferences, maintain your session, and help improve your site/application experience.

3) Classification of Cookies

We classify cookies according to their purpose of use, duration, and provider as follows:

  • By Purpose of Use
    • Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for the basic functions of the site/application (e.g., login, security, cart management). Explicit consent may not be required for these cookies.
    • Functionality Cookies: Provide preferences and personalization (e.g., language selection). If not mandatory, consent is required.
    • Performance/Analytics Cookies: Used to measure and improve site usage; if third-party analytics tools are involved, explicit consent is generally required.
    • Advertising/Targeting Cookies: Used for personalized advertising and campaign measurement based on interests; explicit consent is always required.
  • By Duration
    • Session Cookies: Deleted when the browser is closed.
    • Persistent Cookies: Remain on the device for a specified period or until the expiration date.
  • By Provider
    • First-Party Cookies: Set by Micromarin.
    • Third-Party Cookies: Set by our business partners/service providers.

4) Our Purposes for Using Cookies

As Micromarin, we may use cookies for the following purposes:

  • Mandatory: Session maintenance, fraud prevention, load balancing, security. (May be processed under KVKK Art. 5/2-c and 5/2-f; explicit consent may not be required.)
  • Functionality: Remembering preferences (language, region, etc.). If not within mandatory scope, consent is obtained.
  • Analytics: Visitor statistics, performance measurement, experience improvement; consent is obtained for third-party analytics cookies.
  • Advertising/Targeting: Remarketing, personalized campaigns; cannot be activated without your explicit consent.

5) Legal Grounds

Your personal data through cookies may be processed:

  • For mandatory cookies, mostly under KVKK Art. 5/2-c (establishment/performance of a contract) and/or Art. 5/2-f.
  • For non-mandatory analytics/functionality and advertising/targeting cookies, your explicit consent is obtained (default setting: disabled).

6) Explicit Consent and Cookie Preference Management

Micromarin provides a visible cookie management panel at the time of visit to allow you to manage your cookie preferences. The panel includes “Accept,” “Reject,” and “Preferences” options in a balanced manner; you can change your preferences at any time. Consent is not pre-selected for non-essential cookies, and withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it. A cookie wall (unnecessarily tying service usage to cookie acceptance) is not applied.

7) Third Parties and Cross-Border Transfers

When third-party cookies such as analytics and advertising technologies are used (e.g., measurement, A/B testing, remarketing), your data may be transferred to these providers, and their servers may be located abroad. Non-essential cookies will not be activated without your explicit consent. In the future, if cross-border data transfer occurs, the provisions of Article 9 of the KVKK will be complied with.

8) Retention Periods

  • Session cookies: Deleted when the session ends.
  • Persistent cookies: Retained for reasonable periods according to their purpose (e.g., 6–12 months for preferences as per industry practice; excessively long periods are not set).
