4. Analytics Tools and Data Processed
Google Analytics 4 (GA4) GA4 collects anonymous site usage data that does not require login. Data processed: approximate location (country/city level), browser type, device type, operating system, referral source, pages visited, and time on page. Individuals cannot be identified through this data. GA4 servers are located in the USA; transfers occur under Article 9 of the KVKK and within explicit consent. Microsoft Clarity Clarity produces aggregate statistics on mouse movements, clicks, and scroll patterns. No personally identifying data is processed. Clarity servers may be located in the USA; international transfer is within the scope of explicit consent.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Our site integrates the following third-party services: • Google reCAPTCHA v3: Loaded as essential for form security and bot protection. A Google LLC reCAPTCHA cookie or local storage record may be created. This function relies on legitimate interests and data security legal bases. • Google Analytics 4: As described above, loaded only when analytics consent is obtained. • Microsoft Clarity: Loaded only when analytics consent is obtained. For the cookie policies of these third parties, please consult the official privacy pages of Google LLC and Microsoft Corporation.
6. International Transfers
Analytics services such as Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity are operated by companies with servers located abroad (primarily the USA). For essential cookies (including reCAPTCHA), transfers rely on legitimate interests and security legal bases. For analytics cookies, international transfers occur only when you give explicit consent in the cookie banner; if you do not consent, these services are not loaded and no data transfer occurs.
