This Cookie Policy has been prepared to inform you about the cookies and similar technologies used on the website at https://zenovakimya.com (the “Site”) operated by Zenova Kimya Sanayi ve Ticaret Ltd. Şti. (“Zenova Kimya”).
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that your browser saves on your device when you visit a website. They are used for purposes such as making the site work properly, remembering your preferences or measuring how the site is used. Cookies can be divided into first-party cookies, which are set by the site you visit, and third-party cookies, which are set by services belonging to other domains. There are also session cookies, which are deleted when the browser is closed, and persistent cookies, which remain on the device for a certain period.
What Is Local Storage?
Local storage is a technology similar to cookies that your browser makes available to websites, enabling data to be stored on your device. Unlike cookies, data in local storage are not sent to the server automatically with every page request; they have no set expiry date and can remain on your device until you clear your browser data or the site deletes them. In this policy, the term “cookie” also covers similar technologies such as local storage, unless otherwise stated.
Cookie Categories
| Category | Purpose | Consent requirement | Status on the Site |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Running the Site's core functions; remembering your cookie preference and your quote list | No consent required | In use |
| Functional | Remembering your preferences to offer you a personalised experience | Explicit consent required | Not used |
| Analytics | Measuring the number of visits, traffic sources and page usage in aggregate | Explicit consent required | Only with your consent |
| Marketing | Displaying interest-based advertising and measuring advertising performance | Explicit consent required | Only with your consent |
Entries Used on the Site
The following strictly necessary entries are used for the Site to work. Both entries are kept in your browser's local storage, are not shared with third parties and are not used to track you on other sites.
| Entry | Type | Purpose | Retention period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cookie preference | Local storage (first party) | Remembering the choice you made in the cookie notice so that the notice is not shown again on every visit | Until you change your preference or clear your browser data |
| Quote list | Local storage (first party) | Keeping the products you want a quote for as you move between pages and on later visits | Until you empty the list or clear your browser data |
The product information in your quote list is sent to us, as part of your request, only if you submit the quote request form.
Google Tag Manager and Consent-Based Cookies
The Site uses Google Tag Manager, a service provided by Google, to manage analytics and marketing tools. Google Tag Manager does not set cookies itself; it runs the tools added to the Site in line with your cookie preferences. The Site is configured with Google Consent Mode: analytics and marketing cookies are not used unless you consent to the relevant category via the cookie notice.
If you give your consent, cookies may be used, for example, to measure visits in aggregate with Google Analytics (such as _ga and ga*, kept for up to 2 years) and to measure advertising performance. Data collected through these tools may be processed on the service provider's servers outside Türkiye. Not giving or withdrawing your consent does not prevent you from using the Site's core functions.
Legal Basis
Strictly necessary entries are required for the Site to provide the functions you request (e.g. the quote list). To the extent that they constitute personal data, these entries are processed on the basis of the legal grounds set out in Article 5(2) of Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data (KVKK), in particular that the processing is directly related to the establishment or performance of a contract and that it is necessary for the legitimate interests of the data controller. Non-essential cookies, on the other hand, may be used only with your explicit consent.
How Can You Manage Your Preferences?
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Preferences” link in the Site's footer. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the date of withdrawal.
You can also view, delete or block cookies and local storage data in your browser settings. These options are usually found in the “Privacy and security” or “Cookies and site data” section of your browser's “Settings” menu. All common browsers allow you to delete all site data or only the data of a particular site.
If you delete or block the strictly necessary entries, your cookie preference will not be remembered and the cookie notice will be shown again; the products you have added to your quote list will also be deleted.
Changes and Contact
This Cookie Policy may be updated in line with changes in the technologies used on the Site or in the relevant legislation. You can contact us at info@zenovakimya.com with questions about the use of cookies, and at kvkk@zenovakimya.com with requests concerning your personal data. Detailed information on the processing of your personal data is provided in the KVKK Information Notice.
