Cookie Policy
Last updated: 28 August 2026
1. Purpose and Scope
This Cookie Policy has been prepared to explain the use of cookies and similar technologies on: https://www.yunanistaninvestment.com/ (the "Website"), operated by LONDONİST YURT DIŞI DANIŞMANLIK HİZMETLERİ LİMİTED ŞİRKETİ ("Company", "Londonist", "Yunanistan Investments", "we" or "us").
This Policy has been prepared particularly with reference to:
- Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 ("KVKK");
- decisions of the Turkish Personal Data Protection Board;
- the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority's Guidelines on Cookie Practices; and
- other applicable Turkish legislation.
To the extent that personal data is processed through cookies, our Privacy Policy and Personal Data Protection Information Notice also applies.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files stored on or read from a user's computer, telephone, tablet or other device when an internet site is visited.
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to:
- enable a website to function;
- maintain security;
- remember user preferences;
- measure performance;
- analyse visitor behaviour;
- provide particular features; and
- support advertising and marketing activities.
References to "cookies" in this Policy also include, where appropriate, pixels, tags, local storage, device identifiers and similar technologies.
3. Our Legal Approach to Cookies
Cookies used on the Website fall into two principal categories.
A. Cookies That Do Not Require Explicit Consent
Cookies that are strictly necessary for the Website or a service expressly requested by the user may be used without obtaining explicit consent, provided that an appropriate legal basis under the KVKK exists.
B. Cookies Requiring Explicit Consent
Where no other appropriate legal basis applies, non-essential cookies used for:
- performance and analytics;
- functionality;
- advertising;
- marketing; or
- profiling
will not be activated before the user's explicit consent has been obtained.
The default setting for these cookies is "off".
Continuing to use the Website alone will not be treated as explicit consent.
4. Categories of Cookies We Use
4.1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the Website or a function expressly requested by the user to operate.
They may, for example, be used for:
- security;
- session management;
- network management;
- prevention of misuse;
- form security; and
- storing cookie preferences.
Disabling these cookies may prevent certain essential Website functions from operating.
These cookies are not used for advertising or behavioural profiling.
4.2. Functionality Cookies
These cookies may enable the Website to remember:
- language;
- display settings;
- preferences; and
- other features previously selected by the user.
Where such a cookie is not strictly necessary for a service expressly requested by the user, prior explicit consent will be obtained.
4.3. Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies may help us understand how the Website is used.
They may, for example, be used to analyse:
- visitor numbers;
- pages visited;
- time spent on the Website;
- traffic sources;
- page performance;
- general navigation patterns; and
- technical errors.
Analytics cookies that are not strictly necessary will not be activated before the user's explicit consent has been obtained.
4.4. Advertising and Marketing Cookies
These cookies may be used for:
- measuring advertisements;
- understanding user interests;
- retargeting;
- creating advertising audiences; and
- displaying advertisements considered more relevant to the user.
Cookies in this category will not be activated without explicit consent.
5. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-Party Cookies
These are cookies placed directly through the yunanistaninvestment.com domain.
Third-Party Cookies
These are cookies that may be placed by third-party services used on the Website.
The relevant third-party service providers may separately apply their own privacy and cookie policies.
6. YouTube and Embedded Content
The Website may contain embedded videos from YouTube or other third-party platforms.
Where an embedded third-party service places non-essential cookies on the user's device or reads information from the device, the relevant content should not be loaded before the required explicit consent has been obtained.
In such circumstances, the user may be shown a message such as:
"To view this content, you must allow third-party media cookies."
Where the user proceeds to a third-party platform, that platform's own privacy and cookie policies will apply.
7. WhatsApp and Social Media Links
The Website may contain links to third-party services including:
- WhatsApp;
- Facebook;
- Instagram;
- LinkedIn;
- YouTube; and
The presence of a link alone does not necessarily mean that the third party automatically places a cookie on the Website.
However, where a social-media plugin or tracking technology is used, the required consent mechanism will apply to any non-essential technology.
When you click a link and proceed to a third-party platform, that platform may process personal data under its own privacy and cookie rules.
8. Current Cookie List
Cookies actually used on the Website should be regularly scanned through the cookie-management system and shown accurately in the Cookie Preference Centre.
For each cookie, the following information should be provided where applicable:
| Information | Description |
|---|---|
| Cookie Name | Technical name of the cookie |
| Provider | Organisation/domain placing the cookie |
| Category | Necessary, Functionality, Analytics or Marketing |
| Purpose | What the cookie does |
| Duration | Session or persistent retention period |
| Party | First-party or third-party |
Sample or assumed cookie names that do not correspond to cookies actually used on the Website should not be included.
The cookie list should be updated whenever the Website's technical infrastructure changes.
9. Obtaining Cookie Preferences
When a user first visits the Website, a cookie-preference panel should be displayed before any non-essential cookies are activated.
The first layer should provide the following options:
- Accept All
- Reject All
- Manage Preferences
Selecting "Accept All" represents the user's active choice to permit non-essential cookies.
Selecting "Reject All" disables all cookies other than strictly necessary cookies.
The Website should not use manipulative design that makes accepting cookies materially easier than rejecting them.
10. Default Settings
Non-essential cookie categories must be disabled by default.
The following practices are not used:
- pre-ticked consent boxes;
- treating entry to the Website as consent;
- statements such as "By continuing to use the Website, you accept cookies"; or
- activating all non-essential cookies before the user has made a choice.
11. Withdrawal of Consent and Changing Preferences
Users may change their cookie preferences at any time.
A permanently accessible "Cookie Settings" or "Cookie Preferences" link should be available throughout the Website.
Users may:
- withdraw consent previously given;
- consent only to selected categories; or
- later consent to categories previously rejected.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent before it was withdrawn.
12. Cookie Walls
Acceptance of non-essential cookies will not generally be made a condition of access to the ordinary content of the Website.
Where a particular feature technically depends on a specific third-party service, this may be explained to the user in relation to that particular feature.
13. Retention Periods
Each cookie is retained only for a period appropriate and proportionate to its purpose.
Session cookies generally expire when the browser session ends.
Persistent cookies may remain for the period shown in the Cookie Preference Centre.
Cookies storing cookie preferences may be retained for a reasonable period in order to avoid requiring the user to make the same choice repeatedly.
Unnecessarily long retention periods should not be used.
14. Overseas Transfers Through Cookies
The use of certain third-party technologies may result in personal data being transferred to servers outside Türkiye.
Where this occurs, an appropriate overseas transfer condition under Article 9 of the KVKK will be relied upon.
Where a non-essential cookie also results in the overseas transfer of personal data, obtaining cookie consent alone does not remove the need to comply separately with the overseas transfer requirements under the KVKK.
15. Browser Settings
Users may also view, delete or block cookies through their browser settings.
However, browser settings do not replace the Website's obligation to provide a legally compliant cookie-consent mechanism.
Blocking all cookies through browser settings may affect certain technical features of the Website.
16. Changes to this Policy
This Policy may be updated where:
- technologies used on the Website change;
- third-party providers change; or
- legal requirements change.
Where required, a new cookie preference or explicit consent will be obtained following material changes.
The current Policy and latest revision date will be published on the Website.
