3. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files that a website places on a visitor's browser or device. They allow the website to remember information about a visit, maintain requested functionality, understand how the website is used, and—where the visitor has given the required permission—support analytics, personalization, or marketing activities.

Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits, and other technologies that read or store information on a device or observe interactions with a website. In this Policy, we refer to cookies and similar technologies collectively as “cookies.”

Cookies may be first-party cookies, which are placed by AKDil or by a service provider acting on its behalf, or third-party cookies, which are placed by a third-party service integrated into the website.

4. Categories of Cookies We May Use

The website may use the following categories. The precise cookie names, providers, purposes, and retention periods depend on the website's current technical configuration and should be confirmed through the site's cookie inventory.

Category

Purpose

Consent position

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies support core website functions, such as security, page navigation, session management, language or consent-preference storage, and the delivery of a service specifically requested by the visitor. The website may not function properly without them.

These cookies may operate without consent where their use is necessary for the website or a requested service and another applicable legal basis under the Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (“KVKK”) applies.

Functional or preference cookies

These cookies remember choices such as language, display settings, or other preferences.

We will request consent where the cookie is not strictly necessary or where no other applicable legal basis permits its use.

Performance and analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand page visits, traffic sources, browser and device information, time spent on pages, and general website-use patterns so that we can evaluate and improve website performance.

These cookies will be placed or activated only after consent where explicit consent is required.

Marketing and advertising cookies

These cookies may be used to measure campaigns, provide more relevant promotional content, limit repetitive advertising, or understand interactions with promotional materials.

These cookies will be placed or activated only after explicit consent.

We do not use cookies to intentionally collect a child's health information, enrollment records, or other sensitive school records. The website is intended to be used by parents, guardians, applicants, and other adults in connection with kindergarten services. Parents and guardians should avoid entering a child's personal information into free-text fields unless the website specifically requests it for a stated purpose.

5. Information Collected Through Cookies

Depending on the cookie category and the visitor's choices, the website may process technical and usage information such as an IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, device identifiers, pages visited, time spent on pages, referring URLs, language or display preferences, and interactions with website features.

Cookie information may be combined with other information only where necessary for a stated purpose and permitted by applicable law. We do not intend to use cookies to identify children or to create profiles about children. Information submitted through enrollment, contact, payment, or other forms is governed by the Privacy Policy and the relevant notice presented at the time of collection.

6. Purposes of Cookie Use

We use strictly necessary cookies to provide and secure the website, remember cookie choices, maintain sessions, prevent abuse, and deliver functions requested by the visitor.

Where the visitor has given the required permission, we may use analytics cookies to measure website traffic and usage patterns, identify technical problems, improve website content and functionality, and evaluate the effectiveness of the website. The website may use Google Analytics for website-performance analysis. Google Analytics settings must be configured and reviewed so that directly identifying information is not sent to the service.

Where the visitor has given explicit consent, marketing cookies may be used for promotional measurement or to provide content and advertisements that are more relevant to the visitor. Marketing cookies will not be activated by default.

7. Legal Grounds and Consent

The processing of personal data through strictly necessary cookies may be based on a lawful processing condition under Article 5 of the KVKK when the cookie is necessary for the website to operate properly or for a service specifically requested by the visitor.

For non-essential functional, analytics, performance, advertising, or marketing cookies, we will obtain explicit consent where no other applicable lawful processing condition permits their use. Consent must be informed, specific, freely given, and expressed through a positive action. Non-essential cookies should therefore remain inactive by default until the visitor makes an active choice.

The website's cookie banner or settings panel should provide separate choices for different cookie categories. A visitor should be able to accept or reject non-essential cookies without being denied access to the basic website, unless a particular cookie is objectively necessary for a service that the visitor has specifically requested.

Refusing non-essential cookies will not prevent a visitor from using the website's essential functions. However, some optional features may not work as intended without the relevant cookie category.

8. Managing Cookie Preferences

When the visitor first accesses the website, the cookie banner or consent-management tool should explain the categories of cookies and provide an accessible link to this Policy. Visitors may accept all optional cookies, reject optional cookies, or manage categories individually.

Visitors may change or withdraw their cookie choices at any time through the website's Cookie Settings link or equivalent control. Withdrawal of consent applies prospectively and does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. After a visitor withdraws consent, AKDil will stop activating the relevant non-essential cookies and will take reasonable steps to delete or disable them, subject to technical limitations and applicable retention requirements.

Visitors can also control cookies through their browser settings. Browser controls may block or delete cookies, but disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect website functionality. Browser-based deletion may not automatically withdraw a consent record held by the website, so visitors should also use the website's Cookie Settings control where available.

9. Third-Party Services and Data Transfers

Some website functions may be provided by third-party service providers, such as hosting, security, analytics, payment, communications, or website-management providers. These providers may process technical information on AKDil's behalf or place their own cookies when their services are enabled.

The website may use Google Analytics for performance analysis. The exact Google Analytics configuration, including the cookies used, retention periods, and any international transfer, must be reviewed against the live website before this Policy is published.

Third-party services may process information outside Türkiye. Where personal data is transferred internationally, AKDil will apply the safeguards and transfer mechanism required by the KVKK and applicable regulations. The current providers and transfer details should be listed in the website's cookie inventory and privacy notices.

We do not sell, trade, or rent personal information to third parties. We may share information with trusted service providers where necessary to operate the website, provide services, maintain security, analyze performance, or comply with legal obligations.

10. Cookie Retention

Cookies may be either session cookies, which are deleted when the browser session ends, or persistent cookies, which remain on the device for a defined period or until deleted by the visitor.

Retention periods vary according to the cookie's purpose and provider. Analytics information associated with Google Analytics is stated in the Privacy Policy to be automatically deleted after 26 months; this period must be confirmed against the current Google Analytics configuration. The final published version of this Policy should include the actual retention period for each cookie identified in the website scan.

11. Children's Privacy

AKDil provides kindergarten services for children under parental or guardian supervision. The website is intended primarily for parents, guardians, and other adults. We do not knowingly use non-essential cookies to profile children or to target children with advertising.

Parents and guardians who have questions about information relating to a child may contact AKDil using the details in Section 14. The processing of enrollment information, health information, emergency contacts, photographs, and videos is addressed in the Privacy Policy and applicable consent forms, not through this Cookie Policy.

12. Data Security

AKDil applies appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data processed through the website against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures may include secure SSL/TLS communications, access controls, security updates, limited staff access, and secure storage and backup procedures.

No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Visitors should use updated browsers and devices and should not submit unnecessary personal or health information through the website.

13. Your Rights Under the KVKK

Subject to the conditions and exceptions in the KVKK, you may have the right to learn whether your personal data is processed; request information about the processing; learn the purpose of processing and whether it is used consistently with that purpose; learn the third parties to whom data is transferred in Türkiye or abroad; request correction of incomplete or inaccurate data; request deletion or destruction where the legal conditions are met; request notification of correction, deletion, or destruction to relevant third parties; object to a result arising against you from analysis performed exclusively by automated systems; and request compensation for damage arising from unlawful processing.

You may also withdraw any consent given for optional cookies at any time through the website's Cookie Settings control. Withdrawal does not affect processing carried out lawfully before withdrawal.

14. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, cookie technologies, service providers, processing purposes, or legal obligations change. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this Policy shows when it was most recently revised. We encourage visitors to review this Policy periodically.

If a change materially affects how optional cookies are used, we will provide an updated notice and request consent where required.

15. Publication and Configuration Note

Before publishing this Policy, AKDil should run a cookie scan on every relevant website page and update the Policy with the actual cookie inventory. The final inventory should identify each cookie's name, provider, domain, category, purpose, duration, whether it is first-party or third-party, the personal data involved, the legal basis, and any international transfer.

The website should not load non-essential analytics, performance, functional, advertising, or marketing cookies before the visitor gives the required consent. The cookie banner should offer a clear rejection option, granular category controls, an accessible Cookie Settings link, and a record of consent choices. This document should be reviewed by the organization's Turkish privacy counsel or data-protection adviser before public use.
