  • Measuring and improving the use of the website through anonymous, cookie-free statistics
  • Unless you decline marketing cookies: measuring the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and showing ads to relevant audiences

Your personal data is processed under Article 5 of the KVKK on the grounds that processing is directly related to the establishment or performance of a contract, is necessary for the data controller to comply with a legal obligation, and is necessary for the legitimate interests of the data controller, provided that your fundamental rights and freedoms are not harmed. Marketing cookies (Meta Pixel) and the related sharing with Meta take place unless you choose Decline in your cookie preferences; declining does not affect your use of the site or the handling of your quote request.

You can decline marketing cookies at any time via the Cookie preferences link at the bottom of every page.

Retention

Personal data related to your request is retained for the periods required by law and for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose of processing, after which it is deleted, destroyed or anonymised.
