Cookies may be used for purposes such as ensuring that the website functions properly, improving the user experience, helping remember preferences, supporting the measurement of site performance, and contributing to marketing activities to the extent deemed necessary.

Cookie Categories Used

Necessary Cookies

These are cookies required for the basic functions of the website (such as navigation between pages, cart functionality, maintaining a membership session, and security) to operate. Without these cookies, certain parts of the Site may not function properly.

Functional Cookies

These are cookies intended to remember the user's preferences on the site (such as language and display settings) and improve the user experience.

Performance / Analytics Cookies

These are cookies used to understand general trends regarding the use of the Site and to evaluate site performance. This category is used only if the relevant technology is enabled on the Site.

Marketing / Advertising Cookies

These are cookies that may enable content or advertisements relevant to the user's interests to be presented. This category is also used only if the relevant technology is enabled on the Site.

03

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are cookies placed directly by Atelier Emine through the Site. Third-party cookies are cookies that may be placed by external service providers used on the Site. If a third-party cookie or tracking technology is actually used on the Site, the name and provider of that technology will be stated in this policy only after it has been verified.

04

Legal Basis of Cookies

Cookies that are necessary for the operation of the Site are technically required for the provision of the service and may be used on this basis. The use of non-essential cookies, including functional, analytics, or marketing cookies, may require your explicit consent in accordance with applicable legislation. The publication or viewing of this Cookie Policy does not mean that explicit consent has been given for non-essential cookies.

05

General Information on Cookie Durations

Cookies may be divided into two main categories according to their validity periods: session cookies, which expire when the browser is closed, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a specific period or until you delete them. The specific durations of the cookies used may vary depending on the type of technology and its purpose of use.

06

Managing Cookie Preferences

You can manage cookies through your browser settings, delete existing cookies, or prevent new cookies from being placed on your device. These settings can generally be accessed through the “Settings” or “Privacy” section of the browser you use.

If necessary cookies are blocked, certain parts or functions of the Site (such as the cart or membership session) may not function as expected.

07

Relationship with Personal Data

Some information obtained through cookies may be considered personal data depending on its nature. In this context, matters such as the legal grounds for processing personal data, purposes of processing, transfers, and the rights of data subjects are regulated separately in the KVKK Information Notice.

This Cookie Policy does not replace the KVKK Information Notice; the two documents should be considered complementary to one another.

08

International Data Transfers

If a third-party cookie provider is located abroad, the relevant data may be transferred abroad through the infrastructure of that provider. Where such a transfer takes place, the transfer is carried out in accordance with the conditions stipulated under the KVKK. No claim is made that an international transfer exists in relation to any third-party service that is not actually used on the Site.

09

Security

Atelier Emine takes reasonable technical and administrative measures to ensure the security of information obtained through cookies. However, no data processing or transmission activity carried out over the internet is absolutely secure; no absolute guarantee is provided in this regard.

10

Relationship with Other Documents

This Cookie Policy is a separate and distinct document from the Privacy Policy, KVKK Information Notice, User Agreement, Membership Agreement, and Distance Sales Agreement, and does not replace these documents.

11

This Cookie Policy may be updated in line with changes to cookie usage on the Site or applicable legislation. The updated text becomes effective as of the time it is published.
