Privacy and Cookie Policy

dranilkaya.com uses Google Tag Manager to measure visits and clicks on links such as phone, e-mail and WhatsApp. Google's analytics and advertising cookies run only if you accept them in the cookie banner; rejecting them does not affect the site. YouTube may also use its own cookies once you play a video.

In short

  • The site's own code sets no cookies; it only saves your choice in the cookie banner (accept or reject) in your browser's local storage (localStorage). When you send the "Contact the doctor" form, the prepared WhatsApp message is kept in your browser's temporary storage (sessionStorage) only while that tab stays open, so you can reopen it if WhatsApp does not open.
  • Google Tag Manager is used to measure visits and clicks on links such as phone, e-mail and WhatsApp. Google's analytics and advertising cookies run only if you choose "Accept".
  • You can change your choice at any time using the "Cookie Preferences" link at the bottom of every page.
  • Fonts are served from the site's own server; no request is made to an external service such as Google Fonts.
  • The name, telephone number and message you type into the "Contact the doctor" form and the interactive tools are never sent to a server or to measurement tools.

Which external technologies run on this site?

The table below lists every external source that runs on the site today:

SourceWhen it is triggeredWhat data is processed
dranilkaya.com (the site itself)On every visitSets no cookies of its own. Your choice in the cookie banner and its date are saved in your browser's local storage, and a form message you send is kept in temporary storage until the tab is closed; neither is ever sent to the server. The server keeps a standard access log for security purposes: IP address, date and time, the page requested, browser information.
Google Tag Manager (googletagmanager.com)On every visitThe tag manager code loads from Google's servers, so your IP address and browser information are sent to Google. The code itself sets no cookies; it decides which measurement tags may run based on your cookie choice.
Measurement tags such as Google Analytics and Google Ads (via Google Tag Manager)Cookies only once you choose "Accept" in the cookie bannerIf you accept: pages viewed, clicks on links such as phone, e-mail, WhatsApp and directions, device and browser information, and cookie identifiers; analytics and advertising cookies are used to measure visits and how well advertising campaigns perform. If you do not accept, these cookies are not set; Google may only receive limited signals that contain no cookies (for example, that a page was viewed).
YouTube video thumbnails (img.youtube.com)When you open a page that has a video sectionAs the preview image loads from Google's servers, your IP address and browser information are sent to Google.
YouTube player (youtube-nocookie.com)Only when you press play on a videoPrivacy-enhanced mode is used. Once you start the video, YouTube may use cookies and similar technologies under its own privacy policy.
Location mapWhen you view the contact sectionThe map image is served from the site's own server; no request is sent to Google. If you tap the map, you move to Google Maps for directions, where Google's own privacy policy applies.

Forms and interactive tools

What you write in the "Contact the doctor" form and the answers you give to tools such as the Treatment Finder are processed only in your browser. When you choose to send them, they are turned into a WhatsApp message and reach the doctor through WhatsApp. How that data is processed is explained in the Privacy Notice, and sharing health information over WhatsApp is covered by the Explicit Consent page.

Managing your cookie preferences

You can change your cookie choice at any time using the "Cookie Preferences" link at the bottom of every page. If you withdraw consent, measurement cookies are no longer used and the Google Analytics cookies set on this site's domain are deleted from your browser.

You can also view, delete or completely block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking cookies will not affect how the site works; it may only limit the playback of YouTube videos.

Changes and contact

If a new tool that uses cookies is added to the site, this policy will be updated before that tool goes live and your consent will be requested in the cookie banner for any cookie that is not strictly necessary. For questions, write to destek@dranilkaya.com or call +90 546 737 26 45.
