Cookie policy
This page lists the essential cookies used on this website and the analytics cookies that load only with your consent. You can change your preference any time with the "Cookie preferences" link at the bottom of each page.
Draft — awaiting approval by legal counsel. This list has been prepared on the basis of the cookies and browser storage entries that the website actually uses today. Last updated: 26.09.2026.
What are cookies?

Strictly necessary cookies and storage entries (always active)
These are necessary for the website to function and for your choices to be remembered; they do not depend on consent (KVKK Art. 5(2)(c) and Art. 5(2)(f)). None of them tracks you on other websites.

Third-party content
- Google Maps: the map in the "Find us" section of the home page and on the Contact page is loaded from Google. As soon as the map appears on screen, your IP address is transmitted to Google, and Google may use its own cookies (Google Privacy Policy).
- YouTube: if a video in an announcement is shown from YouTube, the video is loaded in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com) only when you play it; from that moment on, YouTube may use its own cookies.
- Cloudflare Turnstile: only if enabled, it is loaded from Cloudflare for bot protection on the forms; it evaluates browser and device signals and is not used for advertising purposes.
- WhatsApp, Instagram, Tripadvisor and Google review links: these are links only; no data are sent to these services until you click on them, and once you have clicked, that service's own policy applies.
How can you change your preference?
The Cookie preferences link at the very bottom of every page resets your preference, deletes the analytics and advertising cookies and displays the banner again. You can also delete or block cookies and site storage entries in your browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge → Privacy / Site data); if you block the strictly necessary entries, some of your preferences will not be remembered.
