4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under GDPR, we process your data on the following legal bases:

• Legitimate interests — for improving our services, maintaining website security, and responding to inquiries, where our interests do not override your privacy rights.

Under KVKK, we process your data based on explicit consent where required, and on legitimate purposes as defined under Article 5 of the law.

Where international transfers occur, Google applies safeguards intended to support lawful transfers. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking via the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
• Google Search Console (Google LLC) — for monitoring search performance and indexing. This service processes aggregated, non-personal search query data.
• Server and security logs — our hosting infrastructure and Cloudflare automatically collect IP addresses, request timestamps, browser information, and security-related logs. This data is used solely to protect the website against abuse, unauthorized access, and security threats.
• Cloudflare, Inc. — for content delivery, DDoS protection, and SSL termination. Cloudflare may process request metadata including IP addresses as part of its security services. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
• Email newsletter provider — if newsletter functionality becomes available, this policy will be updated to identify the service provider, data processing location, and applicable safeguards before the service launches.
• Contact form provider — if a contact form is added to this site, this policy will be updated with the relevant provider details and data handling information before the form goes live.

6. Cookies

We use the following categories of cookies:

• Essential cookies — necessary for the site to function. These cannot be disabled.
• Analytics cookies — used by Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage data. These are only set with your consent.

We plan to provide cookie preference controls where required by applicable law. You may also manage cookies at any time through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality.
