These are discussed during the examination.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Limited access:<\/strong> At the practice, your messages are seen by Op. Dr. H\u00fcseyin Efe Akal\u0131n and the practice assistant; email and hosting services process them as technical infrastructure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No promotional messages:<\/strong> No promotional calls, SMS, emails or WhatsApp messages are sent to you without your knowledge and consent.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No ad tracking:<\/strong> The site does not use advertising cookies or remarketing (following you with ads on other sites).<\/li>\n<li><strong>No sale of data:<\/strong> Your data is not sold or rented.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How do we protect your data?<\/h2>\n<p>We take technical and administrative measures to prevent unlawful processing of your data and unauthorized access. This is a duty assigned to the data controller under Article 12 of KVKK.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The site runs over an encrypted connection (HTTPS).<\/li>\n<li>Only authorized persons have access to form and message records.<\/li>\n<li>Accounts are protected with strong passwords. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Cookies<\/h2>\n<p>Analytics cookies run only if you give your consent. Details and changing your preferences: <a href=\"https:\/\/huseyinefeakalin.com\/en\/cookie-policy\/\">Cookie Policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Links to other sites<\/h2>\n<p>The site contains a link to our Instagram account; Instagram posts are not embedded in the page. When you click the link, Instagram\u2019s own privacy rules apply.<\/p>\n<h2>Changes to this policy<\/h2>\n<p>This page may be updated.

We recommend that you first read the <a href=\"https:\/\/huseyinefeakalin.com\/en\/privacy-notice\/\">KVKK Privacy Notice<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Each consent covers a separate matter.

Analytics cookies and transfer abroad<\/h2>\n<p>If you give consent, Google Analytics (Google) and Yandex Metrica (Yandex) run on the site. These tools measure how the site is used: information such as which pages are opened, how long visitors stay, device and browser type, and IP address. The service\u2019s servers are located abroad.<\/p>\n<p>Google Maps on the contact page does not depend on this consent: it loads when the page is opened and sends your IP address to Google (details: <a href=\"https:\/\/huseyinefeakalin.com\/en\/cookie-policy\/\">Cookie Policy<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you give consent:<\/strong> This information is transferred to these providers for the purpose of improving the site. <strong>How to give it:<\/strong> You give it with the &#8220;Accept&#8221; button in the cookie banner or by turning on analytics cookies in the &#8220;Settings&#8221; section. This consent also covers the transfer of the information to the providers abroad. <strong>To withdraw:<\/strong> You can turn off analytics cookies using the &#8220;Cookie settings&#8221; link at the bottom of the site.<\/p>\n<h2>How can you withdraw your consent?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>For cookie consent: the &#8220;Cookie settings&#8221; link at the bottom of the site.<\/li>\n<li>For WhatsApp consent: simply write to info@huseyinefeakalin.com.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you withdraw your consent, these operations are no longer carried out from that date onward.
