1. Introduction

Serving guests from the historic Mediterranean port city of İskenderun, İskenderun Relax Spa VIP Masaj Salonu ("İskenderun Relax Spa VIP", "we") explains in this Cookie Policy how cookies and similar technologies are used on our website at https://iskenderunspamasaj.com (the "Site").

İskenderun Relax Spa VIP Masaj Salonu is the data controller under Turkish Law No. 6698 ("KVKK"); this policy fulfils the Article 10 disclosure duty for cookies and follows the Guidelines on Cookie Practices (2022) of the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority.

As a Mediterranean port with centuries of trade and shipping ties to Europe, İskenderun draws visitors from many countries; for users reaching the Site from the European Union or the United Kingdom, the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive are additionally observed, so the policy covers domestic and international visitors together.

2. What Is a Cookie?

A cookie is a compact text file your browser stores on your device (computer, tablet, phone) when you open a website; cookies keep the Site functioning correctly, remember your preferences, and gather usage statistics.

Beyond classic cookies, this policy also reaches comparable technologies serving the same purpose, such as local storage, session storage, pixel tags, web beacons and SDKs; unless stated otherwise, "cookie" in this document stands for all of them together.

3. Categories of Cookies by Purpose of Use

The cookies used on the Site are divided into four categories according to their purpose of use. All cookies other than strictly necessary cookies are disabled by default and are only activated with your explicit consent (opt-in).

3.1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are cookies that are technically necessary for the basic functions of the site to work, for security to be ensured and for the services you request to be provided. These cookies cannot be disabled; if they are turned off, some parts of the site may not work.

Legal basis: These cookies are processed without seeking explicit consent pursuant to Article 5(2)(c) ("being directly related to the conclusion or performance of a contract") and Article 5(2)(f) ("the legitimate interest of the data controller") of the KVKK.

3.2. Functional Cookies

These are cookies that offer you a more advanced and personalised experience by remembering your personalisation settings such as language preference and region selection.

Legal basis: They rely on your explicit consent pursuant to Article 5(1) of the KVKK. They are disabled by default.

3.3. Analytics (Performance) Cookies

These are cookies that help us understand how visitors use the Site; to detect which pages are viewed, the duration of visits and possible errors, mostly producing anonymous or aggregated statistics.

Legal basis: They rely on your explicit consent pursuant to Article 5(1) of the KVKK. They are disabled by default.

3.4. Marketing (Targeting/Advertising) Cookies

These are cookies generally used by third-party advertising providers in order to show content and advertising relevant to your interests, to measure the effectiveness of campaigns and to manage the repeated display of advertisements.

Legal basis: They rely on your explicit consent pursuant to Article 5(1) of the KVKK. They are disabled by default.

4. Cookies by Duration and Party

By lifespan: Session cookies vanish the moment you close your browser; persistent cookies stay on your device until a set date, or until you remove them.

By origin: First-party cookies are placed directly by İskenderun Relax Spa VIP; third-party cookies are placed by the analytics or advertising partners that support the Site.

5. Cookie Inventory

The table below is our up-to-date record of the cookies genuinely active on the Site, listing each one's purpose, origin and retention period.

Cookie Name	Provider	Purpose	Duration	Category	Party

6. Third-Party Services

The Site occasionally draws on cookies from the third-party providers listed below; each provider's own privacy policy governs how it processes data.

Google Analytics 4: Measures visit statistics in aggregated form in order to understand site traffic and user behaviour. More information: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Google Ads: Used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and to carry out remarketing. More information: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Google Tag Manager: Enables the central management of tags (measurement and marketing codes) on the Site; it does not collect personal data on its own, but the tags it manages may use cookies. More information: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Meta (Facebook) Pixel: Used to measure the performance of advertising run on the Facebook and Instagram platforms and to build audiences. More information: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy

7. Google Consent Mode v2

The Site works with Google Consent Mode v2: unless you grant consent to analytics or marketing cookies, Google's tools place no advertising or analytics cookie on your device at all. Once you save your preferences, a matching consent signal reaches the relevant Google services, and cookies then function only within that consent.

8. Managing Your Consent

The first layer of the cookie notice bar that greets you on your first visit lets you accept everything, reject everything, or open "Cookie Settings" for category-by-category choices; every category besides strictly necessary starts disabled.

That consent can be revisited whenever you like: click the floating cookie icon in the bottom-left corner of the page to reopen the preference panel and update your choices.

9. Managing Cookies via Your Browser

Your browser's own settings are a further way to view, delete or block cookies; help pages for widely used browsers are listed below:

Google Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
Mozilla Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-cookies-and-site-data-firefox
Apple Safari: https://support.apple.com/en-us/guide/safari/sfri11471/mac
Microsoft Edge: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/delete-cookies-in-microsoft-edge

A full cookie block at browser level can catch strictly necessary cookies as well, so parts of the Site may stop working as expected.

10. Processing of Personal Data and Your Rights

Article 11 of the KVKK gives you the following rights over personal data that cookies process about you:

To learn whether your personal data is being processed,
To request information if your personal data has been processed,
To learn the purpose of processing your personal data and whether it is used in accordance with that purpose,
To know the third parties to whom your personal data is transferred, domestically or abroad,
To request the correction of your personal data if it has been processed incompletely or incorrectly,
To request the erasure or destruction of your personal data within the framework of the conditions set out in Article 7 of the KVKK,
To request that correction, erasure and destruction operations be notified to the third parties to whom the data has been transferred,
To object to a result being reached against you by analysing the processed data exclusively through automated systems,
To request compensation for damages if you suffer loss due to unlawful processing of your personal data.

Application procedure: Send requests concerning these rights in writing, per the Communiqué on the Procedures and Principles of Application to the Data Controller and Article 13 of the KVKK, to Çay Mahallesi, Mete Aslan Bulvarı No:15/D, 31300 İskenderun/Hatay or to info@iskenderunspamasaj.com. İskenderun Relax Spa VIP Masaj Salonu closes out your request free of charge, as quickly as its nature allows and within thirty days at the outside; where handling genuinely costs extra, the Board's published tariff may apply.

Should we reject your request, respond inadequately, or miss the applicable deadline, you may lodge a complaint with the Personal Data Protection Board.

For visitors within the scope of the GDPR: Travellers reaching us by way of İskenderun's port, whether for trade, transit or a stopover, may also lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority in their home country in the European Union or the United Kingdom under the GDPR.
