Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that a website you visit stores in your browser. The browser’s local storage (localStorage) and small invisible tags (pixels) can be used for similar purposes; in this policy we refer to all of them as “cookies”. Cookies may be set by the website itself (first party) or by companies whose services we use (third party), and may be deleted when you close the browser (session cookies) or kept for a set period (persistent cookies).

When you first visit our website, a cookie notice is shown. All categories other than strictly necessary cookies are off by default and run only if you click “Accept all” or switch the relevant category on in “Preferences”. “Accept necessary only” is as easy as accepting all and does not prevent you from using the website.

Your choice is stored on your device for 180 days in a first-party cookie named cookie_consent. After that period, or if this policy changes significantly with regard to consent, you will be asked again.

Google tools are configured with “Google Consent Mode v2”: by default, analytics and advertising storage (analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization) is denied and Google writes no cookies unless you give permission. Without your permission, Google tools may send limited cookieless signals that contain no personal identifiers. Microsoft Clarity and Meta Pixel are not loaded at all without the relevant permission.

• Strictly necessary: required for the website to work and be secure, to remember your language and currency, to keep you signed in, to remember your cookie choice and to keep the pre-enquiry browsing record used to respond to your enquiry. They cannot be switched off and do not require consent.
• Analytics: measuring visits and website usage, detecting errors and usability issues (Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity). Subject to your permission.
• Live support: sending the pages you visit and the time spent on them to our servers with a random identifier generated on your device, so that our team can offer you real-time help while you browse. Subject to your permission; if you start a live chat yourself, the chat works without this permission, but no page tracking takes place. With this permission, while our team views your page, the screen view and cursor movements may be shared live with form fields masked; this never runs on payment or personal-details pages and nothing is recorded.
• Marketing: measuring the effect of advertising and campaigns and showing ads relevant to your interests (Meta Pixel and Google advertising tags managed via Google Tag Manager). Subject to your permission.

Strictly necessary cookies and storage:

Analytics cookies and storage (subject to your permission):

Live support storage (subject to your permission, or when you start a live chat yourself):

Page and time information sent to our servers with live support permission is kept for 30 days, and chat records for 12 months. This data is held in our own systems on Google Cloud and Supabase infrastructure; no third-party chat service is used. Screen viewing data is not stored; it is held temporarily for at most 3 minutes for transmission.

Marketing cookies (subject to your permission):

Names and lifetimes of third-party cookies may be changed by their providers; we review this list regularly.

As part of the strictly necessary functioning of our enquiry service, a record named by_journey is kept in your browser. It contains the address and title of the pages you visit, the time you entered each page, the time you spent on that page while the tab was visible (at most 30 minutes per page), your number of visits, the first page you landed on, the address of the referring website (without query parameters) and any campaign parameters (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term, utm_content, gclid, fbclid, msclkid). Other parameters in addresses, form contents and anything you type are not recorded.

The record is limited to the last 30 days and at most 50 pages. It never leaves your device unless you submit an enquiry or contact form; it is then sent to us attached to that enquiry so that we can respond to it, and is kept for as long as the enquiry record. You can delete it at any time by clearing this website’s data in your browser; to object to, or request deletion of, information already attached to an enquiry, see section 8.

• Use the “Cookie preferences” link at the bottom of the website or the button on this page to switch permissions on or off, or withdraw them, at any time. When you withdraw permission, we try to delete the related analytics/marketing cookies; cookies belonging to third-party domains can only be deleted from your browser.
• When you withdraw “Live support” permission, live tracking stops, deletion of the tracking data on our servers is requested and, if you have no open chat, the by_live identifier in your browser is deleted.
• You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block strictly necessary cookies, some parts of the website may not work.
• You can use Google’s browser add-on for Google Analytics, and your Google and Meta account settings for advertising preferences.

Google, Microsoft and Meta may process data collected through cookies on servers abroad, including in the United States. These transfers only take place if you allow the relevant category and are based on the mechanisms set out in Article 9 of the KVKK and in the GDPR. Live support data, by contrast, is not sent to a third-party tool but to our own systems on the Google Cloud and Supabase infrastructure we use for hosting and databases. See our Privacy Policy for details.

You can exercise your rights under the KVKK and the GDPR regarding personal data processed through cookies in the ways described in our KVKK Information Notice and Privacy Policy, by writing to info@barbarosyachting.com or by sending a written application to Neyzen Tevfik Cad, Saray Sk. No:4, 48400 Bodrum/Muğla.

This policy is updated as the tools we use or the legislation change. For significant changes relating to consent, your cookie choice will be requested again.
