Cookie Policy | ASİS UK

What Is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small text file placed on your computer, phone, or tablet through your browser when you visit a website. Cookies allow the site to recognise you throughout your visit, remember your language preference, load pages faster, and produce anonymous statistics about how the site is used.

On their own, cookies are not sufficient to identify you personally; however, when combined with other personal data they may qualify as personal data under applicable data protection legislation. ASİS UK therefore governs the use of cookies through this separate policy.

Categories of Cookies We Use

The cookies on our site fall into four main categories based on their function. Only those in the 'strictly necessary' category run without your consent; the others depend on the consent you give in the cookie preference panel.

Strictly Necessary Cookies: cookies technically required for the site to function — for session management, security verification, and page loading. They are not subject to consent.
Performance / Analytics Cookies: collect anonymous measurements such as the number of pages visited, session duration, and traffic source, helping us improve site performance.
Functional Cookies: used to remember your selected language, cookie preferences, and similar user choices.
Marketing / Targeting Cookies: placed only with your explicit consent in order to show content or communications relevant to your interests.

Classification by Duration

Cookies fall into two groups based on how long they remain on your browser:

Session Cookies: deleted the moment you close your browser; valid only for that visit.
Persistent Cookies: remain on your device for a predetermined period. ASİS UK cookies typically have a retention period of no more than 12 months; the retention period for measurement cookies is stated individually in our Cookie Table.

List of Cookies on Our Site

The table below shows which cookies we use, the purpose they serve, and their retention periods. The list may be updated in line with changes to the site's technical infrastructure.

[Cookie Name]: [Purpose] — [Provider / First Party] — [Duration]
[Cookie Name]: [Purpose] — [Provider / First Party] — [Duration]
[Cookie Name]: [Purpose] — [Provider / First Party] — [Duration]

The table above will be updated with the actual cookie inventory following legal counsel approval and technical review.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be placed not by us but by the servers of third-party services we use. Data collected by such cookies is also subject to the privacy policies of the relevant provider.

Analytics providers (e.g. for visit statistics)
Content delivery networks (CDN) and font providers
Marketing / retargeting platforms — only with your consent

When selecting third-party providers, their ability to comply with applicable data protection regulations (KVKK and GDPR) and their approach to data minimisation are decisive criteria.

How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences

You can decide whether to accept non-essential cookies through the cookie preference panel shown on your first visit to our site. You can change these preferences at any time through the 'Cookie Settings' link at the bottom of the page.

You can also manage cookies at the browser level:

Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

If you disable all non-essential cookies, the site will continue to perform its core functions; however, certain preference and performance enhancements may be turned off.

Withdrawing Your Consent

You may withdraw the cookie consent you previously gave at any time. To do so, open the cookie preference panel and remove the consent for the relevant category; withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal.

Policy Updates

This Cookie Policy may be updated as the cookies we use change or due to regulatory updates. The version in force is always displayed on this page; the 'Last Updated' date at the top of the page helps you confirm which version you are reading.
