2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on a user’s device by websites. Cookies can help a website function properly, remember user preferences, keep shopping cart information, improve security, measure performance, understand how users interact with the Website and, where consent is given, support marketing or advertising activities.
Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage, session storage, device identifiers, tracking links and similar tools that store information on a device or access information stored on a device.
3. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Website securely and effectively.
We use cookies to remember shopping cart contents, manage checkout, process orders, maintain user sessions, prevent fraud and protect the Website.
We may use cookies to remember language, currency, region, cookie preferences and other user choices.
We may use cookies to understand how the Website performs, which pages are visited, how users interact with the Website and how the user experience can be improved.
We may use cookies, pixels and tags for marketing, advertising, campaign measurement, retargeting and conversion tracking only where this is permitted by applicable law and, where required, based on the user’s prior consent.
4. Types of Cookies by Duration
Session cookies are temporary cookies that are deleted when the browser is closed. These cookies are commonly used to maintain the shopping cart, checkout session, security checks or basic Website functions during a visit.
Persistent cookies remain on the user’s device for a defined period or until the user deletes them. These cookies may be used to remember preferences, cookie consent choices, login status where applicable, analytics information or marketing preferences.
5. Types of Cookies by Provider
First-party cookies are placed directly by thegoatz.co. These cookies may be used for Website functionality, shopping cart, checkout, security, user preferences, cookie preference records and similar purposes.
Third-party cookies are placed by service providers or third-party platforms used by the Website. These may include payment providers, analytics providers, advertising platforms, social media platforms, tag management tools, security providers, cargo or tracking tools and other technology providers.
Third-party cookies are subject to the privacy and cookie policies of the relevant third-party provider, in addition to this Cookie Policy.
6. Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the Website to work properly and cannot usually be disabled through the Website’s cookie preference tool.
These cookies may be used for security, fraud prevention, shopping cart functions, checkout, payment flow, session management, load balancing, cookie preference recording and other essential Website operations.
Strictly necessary cookies are processed because they are necessary to provide the Website service requested by the user, to perform the sales contract, to ensure transaction security, to comply with legal obligations or to protect the legitimate interests of the Seller, depending on the specific cookie and applicable law.
Consent is not requested for strictly necessary cookies where they are essential for the Website to function or for a service clearly requested by the user.
7. Functional and Preference Cookies
Functional and preference cookies help the Website remember user choices such as language, region, currency, display settings, form preferences and similar settings.
Some functional cookies may be necessary where they are essential for a service clearly requested by the user. Other functional cookies may be used only with consent where required by applicable law.
If functional cookies are disabled, some preference-based features of the Website may not work properly.
8. Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics and performance cookies help us understand how visitors use the Website, which pages are visited, how long users stay on pages, whether errors occur and how the Website can be improved.
Analytics tools may collect information such as page views, device information, browser information, approximate location based on IP address, interaction events, referral information and aggregated performance data.
Where required by applicable law, analytics and performance cookies are used only after the user gives consent through the cookie preference tool.
If analytics cookies are disabled, we may have less information about how to improve the Website, but the main shopping and checkout functions should remain available.
9. Advertising, Marketing and Targeting Cookies
Advertising, marketing and targeting cookies may be used to measure advertising campaigns, show more relevant ads, limit repeated ads, create audiences, conduct retargeting and understand whether an advertisement led to a purchase or other interaction.
These cookies may be placed by advertising platforms, social media platforms, search engines, tag management tools or marketing technology providers.
Advertising, marketing and targeting cookies are not strictly necessary for the Website to function. Where required by applicable law, these cookies are used only after the user gives consent through the cookie preference tool.
If the user rejects advertising, marketing and targeting cookies, the user may still see advertisements, but those advertisements may be less relevant and campaign measurement may be limited.
10. Social Media and Embedded Content Cookies
The Website may include social media links, embedded content, videos, maps, social sharing tools or similar third-party features.
When the user interacts with such third-party features, the relevant third-party provider may place cookies or collect personal data according to its own policies.
Where required by applicable law, non-essential social media or embedded content cookies are used only after the user gives consent.
11. Tag Management Tools
The Website may use tag management tools to manage scripts, pixels, analytics tools, advertising tags and similar technologies from a single interface.
Tag management tools should not be used to activate non-essential analytics, advertising, marketing or targeting cookies before the user gives the required consent.
Where a tag management tool is used, the user’s cookie preferences should be respected by all tags and technologies controlled through that tool.
12. Cookie Preference Tool
The Website may provide a cookie banner or cookie preference tool when the user first visits the Website.
Through the cookie preference tool, users may be able to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies or manage cookies by category.
Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they are required for the Website to function.
Non-essential cookies, including analytics, advertising, marketing, targeting and certain functional cookies, should not be activated before the user gives consent where consent is required by applicable law.
Users may change or withdraw cookie consent at any time through the cookie preference tool where available.
13. Consent
Where consent is required, consent must be freely given, specific, informed and indicated by an active action of the user.
Silence, inactivity, pre-ticked boxes, continuing to browse the Website without a clear consent action or bundled consent for unrelated purposes should not be treated as valid consent where applicable law requires active consent.
The user may refuse non-essential cookies without being prevented from using the basic shopping and checkout functions of the Website, unless a specific cookie is technically necessary for a requested function.
The user may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
14. Legal Bases for Cookie Use
Strictly necessary cookies may be used because they are necessary for the Website to function, for the user to receive a service clearly requested by them, for the performance of a contract, for legal compliance, for transaction security or for the legitimate interests of the Seller, depending on the specific cookie and applicable law.
Functional cookies may be used based on the user’s request, contract necessity, legitimate interests or consent, depending on the specific cookie and applicable law.
Analytics, performance, advertising, marketing and targeting cookies are generally used based on consent where consent is required by applicable law.
For users located in Turkey, cookies involving personal data are assessed under KVKK and the guidance and decisions of the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority.
For users located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, cookies and similar technologies may be assessed under GDPR, UK GDPR, ePrivacy rules and local implementing laws.
15. Cookie Categories Used on the Website
Strictly necessary cookies may include cookies used for session management, shopping cart, checkout, payment flow, security, fraud prevention, load balancing and cookie preference recording.
Functional and preference cookies may include cookies used to remember language, country, currency, region, display settings, account preferences where applicable and similar user choices.
Analytics and performance cookies may include cookies used to measure Website traffic, page performance, user interactions, errors, referral sources and aggregated usage statistics.
Advertising, marketing and targeting cookies may include cookies used for ad measurement, retargeting, conversion tracking, campaign optimization, audience creation and similar marketing purposes.
Social media and embedded content cookies may include cookies placed by social media platforms, video providers, map providers, embedded content providers or similar third-party services when such features are used or displayed.
16. Cookie Details
The exact cookies used on the Website may change depending on the Website infrastructure, payment tools, analytics tools, advertising tools, security tools, cargo integrations, language and currency features and other service providers used at the relevant time.
The Website should display, through the cookie preference tool where available, the cookie name, provider, purpose, category and retention period for non-essential cookies before consent is collected.
If the cookie preference tool provides a detailed cookie list, that list forms part of this Cookie Policy.
If any new non-essential analytics, advertising, marketing, targeting or similar cookie is added to the Website, it should be categorized correctly and should not be activated before the required consent is obtained.
17. Managing Cookies Through Browser Settings
Users may manage, delete or block cookies through their browser settings.
Most browsers allow users to view cookies, delete cookies, block all cookies, block third-party cookies or receive warnings before cookies are placed.
If cookies are blocked or deleted through browser settings, some Website functions such as cart, checkout, preference recording or account features may not work properly.
Browser-based cookie settings are separate from the Website’s cookie preference tool. Users may need to manage both settings depending on their preferences.
18. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Signals
Some browsers or devices may send Do Not Track or similar signals.
Because there is not always a uniform legal or technical standard for responding to such signals in all jurisdictions, the Website may not respond to every Do Not Track signal in the same way.
Where applicable law requires recognition of specific opt-out preference signals, the Website will make reasonable efforts to comply with such requirements.
19. International Users
Because the Website sells to customers in Turkey and abroad, cookies and similar technologies may involve service providers located in Turkey, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, the United States or other countries.
Where cookies result in personal data being transferred internationally, such transfers are addressed in the Privacy Notice and are carried out under applicable legal mechanisms where required.
Users located outside Turkey may have additional privacy and cookie rights under their local laws. The Seller will assess such rights in accordance with applicable mandatory law.
20. Sale, Sharing and Targeted Advertising Notices for Certain Jurisdictions
The Seller does not sell personal data in the ordinary meaning of selling customer lists for money.
However, in some jurisdictions, the use of advertising, marketing, retargeting or analytics cookies may be considered a sale, sharing, targeted advertising or similar activity under local privacy laws.
Where such laws apply, users may have the right to opt out of sale, sharing or targeted advertising. Users may exercise these rights through the cookie preference tool where available or by contacting [email protected].
21. Children
The Website is not intended for children and is not designed to knowingly place non-essential cookies for profiling children.
If a parent or guardian believes that a child has provided personal data through the Website, they may contact [email protected] to request appropriate action.
22. Updates to This Cookie Policy
The Seller may update this Cookie Policy from time to time due to legal, technical or operational changes.
The updated version will be published on the Website. Where required by applicable law, users may be notified or asked to renew their cookie preferences.
