How getturkiyetours.com Uses Cookies
This policy explains which cookies getturkiyetours.com uses, what they are for and how you can manage them. Viracocha Travel Turizm (Get Turkey Tours) is the data controller, and we have written this text to comply with the Turkish law on the protection of personal data, Law No. 6698 ("KVKK").
KVKK defines personal data as any information about an identified or identifiable person. It treats the following as special categories: data on health and sexual life; race and ethnic origin; political opinion; philosophical, religious or other belief; dress and appearance; membership of an association, foundation or trade union; criminal convictions and security measures; and biometric and genetic data. None of these special categories is processed by our cookies.
We may remove a cookie, alter what kind of cookie it is or what it does, or introduce new cookies. We will revise this policy each time that happens, and whenever the law obliges us to.
1. What a Cookie Is
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. With it, the site can keep track of information from one page or visit to the next, such as a preference you have set.
2. The Cookies on This Site
Every cookie on getturkiyetours.com is a first-party cookie placed by our own website. At present we do not use any cookies for analytics, social media or advertising, and no Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics or comparable tracking tag runs on the site.
| Name | Category | What it does | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| para | First party, functional | Stores the currency you picked for showing prices, so every page uses it and you are not asked again. It is only created if you switch currency. | 1 year |
| git_session | First party, strictly necessary | Lets authorised staff stay logged in to the site's admin area while moving from page to page. Ordinary visitors never receive it. | 30 days |
Favourites saved in local storage
When you mark tours as favourites, the list is saved as git_favs in the local storage of your browser. It remains on your own device and is not transmitted to us. Clearing this site's data in your browser removes it whenever you like.
Strictly necessary and functional cookies explained
Some parts of the site cannot work without strictly necessary cookies, for example a signed-in session that has to stay active across pages. Functional cookies store choices such as your currency so the site is more convenient.
3. Personal Data That Cookies May Process
During a visit to our website, cookies and our normal server logs may process:
- your IP address;
- when you visited, by date and time;
- which pages you looked at;
- any documents you downloaded from the site;
- your browser type;
- choices you make, such as the currency.
4. Purposes of Processing
Under KVKK Articles 5 and 6, we use this data to:
- deliver the core functions the website needs in order to run;
- keep the website safe and working correctly;
- make the website faster and more functional;
- store your preferences so the site is simpler to use;
- point you to pages that are relevant to what you do on the site.
5. Collection Method and Legal Grounds
We gather this data by electronic means, using cookies and server logs, while you are on our website. Processing takes place within the conditions of KVKK Articles 5 and 6 and rests on our legal obligations and our legitimate interests as data controller, on performing a contract with you, and, when the law calls for it, on your explicit consent.
6. Who We Share Data With
To serve the purposes listed above, we may share this data with the third parties who host our website and run our database servers, and only staff who need it for their duties can access it. When the law requires or allows it, we may also be obliged to pass data to official authorities, courts, enforcement offices, outside advisers and comparable parties.
7. How Long We Keep Data
As set out in KVKK Article 7/1, once the purposes of this policy no longer apply, or if you ask us, the personal data processed for them is deleted, destroyed or anonymised as the relevant legislation requires. Each cookie expires on its own at the end of the duration shown in the table above.
8. Managing Cookies
The site needs its essential cookies, so turning them off may stop certain features from working fully. Even so, your browser settings let you control cookies: you can block them, get a warning before one is saved, or remove some or all of them. Each browser handles this differently, and you may have to repeat your choices on every device you use.

Should we begin to use analytics or advertising cookies later, we will first update this policy and, where the law requires it, request your consent.
