Cookie Policy
Which cookies and similar technologies we use on our website, why we use them and how you can manage your preferences.
What is a cookie?
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. The browser’s local storage can be used for similar purposes. In this policy we refer to both as "cookies".
This policy covers the cookies used on the Erk PVC Makine (data controller) website at erkpvcmakine.com.tr. For details on how we process personal data, see our privacy notice.
Which cookies do we use?
We group cookies into three categories. Necessary cookies are required for the site to work and stay secure; the others are used only if you give consent.
Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
erk-consent-v1 | Necessary (local storage) | Remembers your cookie choice | 12 months |
__cf_bm | Necessary (Cloudflare) | Protects the site and forms against bots | 30 minutes |
_ga | Analytics (Google Analytics) | Distinguishes visitors anonymously | 2 years |
_ga_XXXXXXXX | Analytics (Google Analytics) | Keeps session state | 2 years |
Necessary cookies store your choice and protect the site against abuse. They cannot be switched off; without them the site or forms may not work properly.
Analytics cookies help us understand which pages are visited and how the site is used. Google Analytics runs with IP anonymisation and Google Consent Mode: if you do not consent, no analytics cookie is written.
Marketing cookies: our website does not currently use any marketing or advertising cookies. If that changes, they will only run with your consent and this table will be updated.
Admin panel and preview
Erk staff who use the website’s admin panel receive a session cookie (payload-token) and content preview cookies. These are never set for website visitors.
Embedded videos
YouTube videos in our video gallery are shown only as a thumbnail until you press play; no connection to YouTube is made before that. When you press play, the video opens through YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com), and YouTube’s own privacy terms apply.
How to change your preferences
- Use the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page to change your choice at any time.
- Your consent expires automatically after 12 months and you will be asked again.
- You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block necessary cookies, forms may not work.
Your rights and contact
To exercise your rights under Article 11 of the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK), or for any question about cookies, write to [email protected]. This policy is updated whenever the cookies we use change.
