Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Truemap Bilişim Teknolojileri Limited Şirketi ("Truemap", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on truemap.io and other websites operated by Truemap.

This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to:

• enable essential website functions;
• maintain website security;
• remember user preferences;
• understand how visitors use our website;
• measure performance;
• improve our services;
• provide embedded third-party content; and
• support marketing activities where permitted.

Where required by applicable law, optional cookies will only be placed or activated after you provide consent.

A cookie is a small data file stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies allow a website to recognize information about your browser or device during the current visit or during later visits.

Cookies can perform different functions. For example, they may:

• maintain a session;
• remember preferences;
• improve security;
• measure website traffic;
• understand navigation patterns; or
• support third-party integrations.

Cookies do not necessarily contain information that directly identifies you by name. However, cookie identifiers, IP addresses, device data, and related information may constitute personal data under applicable privacy legislation.

In addition to traditional browser cookies, Truemap websites may use comparable technologies such as:

• local storage;
• session storage;
• pixels;
• tags;
• scripts;
• SDKs;
• server-side identifiers;
• embedded content technologies; and
• other technologies capable of storing or accessing information on a device.

References to "cookies" in this Policy generally include these similar technologies where appropriate.

4.1 First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are placed by the website that you are visiting.

For example, Truemap may use first-party cookies to:

• maintain security;
• remember consent choices;
• support website functionality; or
• maintain a session.

4.2 Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies or similar technologies may be provided by external services integrated into a website.

Depending on the features active on our website, these may include providers of:

• embedded maps;
• CAPTCHA and anti-abuse services;
• analytics;
• newsletter subscription tools;
• video content;
• social media functionality;
• advertising services; or
• other external website components.

Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy and cookie policies.

5.1 Session Cookies

Session cookies generally remain active only during a browser session and are deleted when the browser is closed.

They may be used for temporary website functions and session management.

5.2 Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on a device for a defined period or until manually deleted.

They may be used to:

• remember preferences;
• retain cookie consent choices;
• recognize returning browsers; or
• generate analytics over time.

The duration depends on the purpose and provider of the relevant cookie.

6.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are required for essential website functions.

They may be used for:

• security;
• network management;
• load balancing;
• fraud prevention;
• cookie preference storage;
• session management;
• form security;
• CAPTCHA protection; and
• other essential functionality.

Because these cookies are necessary for the operation or security of the website, they may not require consent where applicable law permits their use without consent.

Disabling them through browser settings may cause parts of the website to stop functioning properly.

6.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow a website to remember choices and provide enhanced functionality.

They may remember:

• language selection;
• interface preferences;
• region;
• previously selected settings; or
• other customization information.

Where legally required, these cookies will be activated only after consent.

6.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our websites.

They may collect information such as:

• number of visitors;
• pages viewed;
• session duration;
• navigation paths;
• referral sources;
• browser type;
• device category;
• approximate region;
• errors encountered; and
• website performance metrics.

We may use this information to improve:

• website structure;
• content;
• usability;
• performance;
• marketing effectiveness; and
• user experience.

Where required by law, analytics cookies will not be activated unless the user has provided consent.

Where possible, analytics data may be aggregated or otherwise processed in a privacy-conscious manner.

6.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to:

• measure campaign performance;
• understand interactions with marketing materials;
• limit repeated advertisements;
• build audiences;
• attribute conversions;
• support remarketing;
• personalize promotional content; or
• evaluate marketing effectiveness.

These technologies may involve third-party providers.

Where applicable law requires consent, marketing and advertising cookies will remain disabled until consent has been provided.

6.5 Embedded Content and Third-Party Service Cookies

Some Truemap pages may contain third-party content or services.

For example, the website may use or display:

• embedded maps;
• CAPTCHA services;
• subscription forms;
• videos;
• social media content;
• external forms; or
• other embedded components.

When such content is loaded, the third-party provider may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser information, and the page from which the content was loaded.

Where required, third-party components that are not strictly necessary will be blocked until the appropriate consent has been provided.

Certain Truemap website functions may use Google services, for example embedded map functionality or CAPTCHA technologies used to protect forms from abuse.

Depending on the specific implementation, Google or its affiliates may receive technical information such as:

• IP address;
• device information;
• browser information;
• interaction data; and
• security-related information.

Such processing may also be subject to Google's own policies and terms.

The exact technologies active on a particular page may vary over time.

Truemap may use third-party newsletter, mailing-list, or subscription technology to allow visitors to subscribe to communications.

When you voluntarily submit your information through such a service, information including your email address and related subscription data may be processed for the purpose of:

• recording your subscription;
• delivering requested communications;
• maintaining unsubscribe preferences;
• protecting forms against abuse; and
• measuring communication performance where permitted.

Optional marketing subscriptions may be withdrawn at any time using the unsubscribe function made available in the relevant communication.

The exact cookies used on the website may change as Truemap's technology, service providers, and website features evolve.

The active cookie inventory should be reflected in Truemap's cookie management interface or cookie preference center.

A typical cookie register may contain the following information:

The cookie preference interface presented on the website should be regarded as the most current operational list where it contains more specific cookie-level information.

The legal basis depends on the category and purpose of the technology.

Strictly Necessary Technologies

These technologies may be used where required to:

• provide a service specifically requested by a user;
• maintain security;
• preserve user choices;
• operate essential website functionality; or
• pursue another lawful basis recognized under applicable legislation.

Optional Cookies

Where consent is required, optional analytics, functionality, or advertising cookies are used on the basis of the user's consent.

Consent should be:

• freely given;
• specific;
• informed;
• unambiguous; and
• capable of being withdrawn.

Rejecting optional cookies should not prevent access to basic website content, although certain optional features may become unavailable.

When you first visit our website, you may be shown a cookie notice or preference interface.

Depending on applicable requirements, you may be able to:

• accept all optional cookies;
• reject optional cookies;
• choose individual cookie categories; or
• modify previously selected preferences.

Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they are necessary for security or core website functions.

Your preferences may themselves be stored using a necessary cookie so that the website remembers your choice.

Where processing depends on cookie consent, you may withdraw or modify that consent at any time.

You should be able to do so through the cookie settings or cookie preference control made available on the website.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

After a preference is changed, some cookies may remain on the device until they expire or are deleted manually. However, they should no longer be used for the relevant optional processing where consent has been withdrawn.

Most browsers allow you to manage cookies through browser settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

• view stored cookies;
• delete individual cookies;
• delete all cookies;
• block third-party cookies;
• block all cookies;
• clear cookies automatically; or
• receive a warning before a cookie is stored.

Please note that blocking all cookies may negatively affect website functionality.

For example, preferences may not be retained and certain forms or interactive features may not operate as expected.

Some browsers provide "Do Not Track" or similar privacy signals.

There is not necessarily a single uniform technical or legal standard governing every such signal.

Where legally required or technically supported, Truemap may respond to recognized consent or privacy preference signals in accordance with applicable law and our technical configuration.

Information collected through cookies may, depending on the technology, include:

• IP address;
• browser identifier;
• device information;
• operating system;
• page URL;
• referring URL;
• timestamps;
• interaction events;
• cookie identifiers;
• language;
• approximate geographic information;
• session identifiers;
• consent status; and
• technical security information.

Where this information qualifies as personal data, it will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Some technology providers may operate infrastructure outside Türkiye or the country from which you access the website.

As a result, information collected through certain third-party technologies may be transferred internationally.

Where such transfers involve personal data, Truemap will take measures required by applicable data protection legislation.

These may include legally recognized transfer mechanisms and appropriate contractual, technical, or organizational safeguards.

For further information regarding personal data transfers, please review our Privacy Policy.

Cookie retention varies according to purpose.

A cookie may:

• expire when the browser closes;
• remain for several minutes or hours;
• remain for several months; or
• remain for another defined period.

We aim to configure cookie retention periods proportionately to the purpose for which the relevant cookie is used.

Third-party cookie duration may be determined by the relevant third-party provider.

Third-party technology providers operate under their own terms and privacy practices.

Where you interact with embedded content, external platforms, or third-party integrations, those providers may independently process personal data.

Truemap does not control the independent processing practices of external providers.

We encourage users to review the privacy and cookie documentation of relevant third-party services.

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect:

• changes to our website;
• new technologies;
• changes to service providers;
• changes to cookie practices;
• changes to applicable law; or
• regulatory guidance.

The updated policy will be published with a revised "Last Updated" date.

Where legally necessary, users may be asked to renew their cookie preferences following a material change.

If you have questions about this Cookie Policy or Truemap's use of cookies, please contact us through our official communication channels.
