This cookie policy explains which information our website www.ototasdik.com and our web panel giris.ototasdik.com store on your device or read from it, why, and how you choose. This covers cookies, local storage, session storage and similar technologies. In this policy we call all of them "cookies". How the OtoTasdik app uses your device is explained in our privacy policy. OtoTasdik is run by Ahmet Türkmen, a private individual in Türkiye. Contact: privacy@ototasdik.com.
Our legal basis
- In the EU, storing information on your device or reading it needs your consent, unless it is strictly necessary to provide a service you asked for. In Germany this rule is in section 25 of the Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG).
- In the UK, the same rule is in regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and its Schedule A1.
- We ask for your consent for functional, analytics and marketing cookies. Necessary cookies need no consent.
- Where cookies involve personal data, we process it on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and UK GDPR). For necessary cookies we rely on our contract with you or on our legitimate interest in a working and secure website (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f)).
Your choice in the banner
When you first visit our website, a banner offers four categories:
- Necessary: always on, because the site does not work without them.
- Functional: your recent searches in the search of our Turkish pages, only with your consent.
- Analytics: Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity, only with your consent.
- Marketing: Google Ads measurement and advertising audiences, only with your consent.
You can choose "Accept all", "Necessary only", or "Customise" and save your own choice. We store your choice for 12 months. After that the banner asks again. To change your choice or withdraw your consent, use the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page of our website. On our Turkish pages it is called "Çerez Ayarları". It opens the banner again with your current choice. When you withdraw a consent, our website deletes the cookies and stored data of that category that it set, and the page reloads without the Google tags you no longer allow. You can also delete the stored data of ototasdik.com in your browser settings. The banner then appears again. The web panel has no banner of its own. The pages you see there before you sign in, such as sign-in, sign-up and password reset, apply the analytics and marketing choice you made on our website. If you have made no choice, they load no Google tag.
What happens before you choose
On every page of our website, in Turkish, English and German, nothing is loaded from Google or Microsoft before you choose. The same applies if you choose "Necessary only". The pages of the web panel that you see before you sign in do not load the Google tag before you choose either. The Google tag loads only after you accept analytics or marketing cookies, and then only for what you accepted: Google Analytics 4 with analytics cookies, Google Ads with marketing cookies. If you arrive from one of our ads and the Google tag runs, the ad click identifier in the web address stays in the links between our pages. It is stored in a cookie only if you accept marketing cookies. Microsoft Clarity loads only after you accept analytics cookies.

When you complete a sign-up in the web panel, the Google tag reports it to Google as a conversion, with your account type and sign-up method. It does not send your name or your e-mail address.
