Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. Similarly, browser storage (localStorage) allows certain preferences to be kept on your device. This policy explains which cookies and storage are used on the Girne Su website and why.

Strictly necessary cookies and storage

These records are required for the site's core functions and do not need consent:

  • Language preference: remembering whether you chose the Turkish or English version.
  • Cart (gs_cart_v1): the products you select before ordering are kept in your browser's local storage (localStorage). This information reaches our server only when you submit your order; prices are recalculated on the server for every order.
  • Cookie consent: remembering the choice you made in the cookie banner.
  • Security: technical records needed to protect form submissions against abuse.
  • Admin session: session cookies used only when authorised staff sign in to the admin panel; they are not created for visitors.

Analytics cookies

We may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics 4 or Microsoft Clarity to understand and improve how our site is used. These tools are loaded only if you give consent in the cookie banner. If you do not consent, the site continues to work fully. Analytics tools produce aggregated information such as page views, visit duration, device type and approximate location; we do not use it to identify you personally.

Marketing cookies

If a pixel (e.g. Meta Pixel) is enabled for advertising measurement, it also runs only with your explicit consent. This page is updated when the tools in use change.

Third-party content

Embedded content such as the dealer map or videos may use the provider's own cookies. These providers are responsible for their own privacy policies.

Managing your preferences

  • You can reset your cookie banner choice by clearing the site data in your browser and choose again.
  • You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; however, if you block necessary records, features such as the cart and language preference may not work.
  • To remove your cart contents, empty the cart or clear your browser's local storage.

Retention

Necessary records are kept until they are deleted from your browser or the relevant session ends. Retention periods of analytics cookies are set by the provider and usually range from a few months to two years.
