Cookie Policy
At İstanbul Free Tour, we respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website based on our active features, and how you can manage your preferences.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They act as a bridge between your browser and the website. Cookies help websites remember your preferences (such as language settings, session parameters) and make your browsing experience smoother, faster, and more secure.
How We Use Cookies
Our website is designed with a **privacy-first approach**. We do not load any third-party tracking, profiling, or behavioral advertising cookies (such as Google Analytics or Meta Pixel) directly on our platform.
We only utilize cookies that are strictly necessary to run the web platform:
1. Essential Operations
We use transient session parameters and security tokens to protect booking form submissions against security threats and to maintain website stability.
2. Session Management
These cookies help verify content previews and ensure that administrative tools function properly. They are temporary and do not collect personal information of regular visitors.
Third-Party Links & WhatsApp
We offer dynamic integration with WhatsApp (for booking inquiries) and link directly to our social channels (Instagram, Facebook). When you click these links to start a chat or view our profiles, you exit our website and connect directly with their respective platforms. These external services may place their own tracking cookies on your device. We encourage you to read their respective privacy and cookie statements.
How to Manage Cookies
You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish by configuring your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, accept all cookies, or be notified before a cookie is saved. Disabling essential cookies could prevent certain features (such as dynamic booking forms) from rendering correctly.
