Cookie policy
Last updated: 23 October 2026
This policy explains which cookies are used on the GMR Genç Metal Rafineri A.Ş. website and why. Our website uses the cookies that are strictly necessary for it to work. Google Analytics cookies, used for visitor statistics, are set only if you consent.
What is a cookie?
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser when you visit a website. On your next visit, the website reads the file so that it can, for example, remember the language you chose.
By purpose, cookies fall into two groups: strictly necessary cookies, and optional cookies such as analytics, advertising and personalisation cookies.
Types of cookies we use
The cookies used on our website are listed in the table below. Strictly necessary cookies do not hold information such as your name, e-mail address or location.
| Cookie | Type | What it does | Duration | Used for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
NEXT_LOCALE | Strictly necessary | Remembers the language you chose (Turkish or English). | Deleted when the browser is closed | All visitors |
gmr_consent | Strictly necessary | Remembers your choice in the cookie consent bar (accept or reject), so that the bar does not reappear on every page. | 180 days | Visitors who have made a choice |
_ga | Analytics (optional) | Google Analytics: distinguishes one visitor from another. | 2 years | Only visitors who have consented |
_ga_<id> | Analytics (optional) | Google Analytics: keeps information about the visit session. | 2 years | Only visitors who have consented |
gmr_admin | Strictly necessary | Keeps the session of an authorised user signed in to the administration panel secure. | Up to 12 hours; ends after 2 hours of inactivity | Only authorised users signed in to the administration panel |
gmr_device | Strictly necessary | Recognises a device that has signed in to the administration panel before, so that protection against password-guessing attacks does not lock out the authorised user. | 180 days | Only authorised users signed in to the administration panel |
Strictly necessary cookies are needed for the website to work as you request and to keep it secure. As set out in the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority's Guide on Cookie Practices, explicit consent is not required for these cookies; they are used on the processing grounds listed in Article 5(2) of the Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698.
Google Analytics cookies are optional analytics cookies. They are set only if you choose "Accept" in the consent bar at the bottom of the website, on the basis of your explicit consent. If you do not consent, these cookies are never set and the website works exactly the same.
To see how often our pages are visited, we also use our own counter, which does not use cookies. It does not store your IP address or browser details; it only derives a summary specific to that day, which can no longer be linked to you in any way from the next day. Records are deleted after 400 days. If Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control is switched on in your browser, the counter does not run at all.
Third-party services
Unless you consent, no third-party cookies are set when our website opens. Fonts, photographs and videos are served from our own server.
Google Analytics is provided by Google LLC (USA) and Google Ireland Limited. If you consent, information such as the pages you visit, your device and browser type, your approximate location (country and city) and the time you spend on the website is processed on Google's servers, which means that your data is transferred outside Türkiye. Google Analytics does not log IP addresses. For information on how Google uses cookies, see policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.
The interactive map on our Contact page is provided by Google LLC and loads only when you press "Open the interactive map". When you open the map, Google may use its own cookies, and information collected through them may be processed outside Türkiye. For information on how Google uses cookies, see policies.google.com/technologies/cookies. On phones the map is not loaded on our website; tapping it opens your device's Maps app.
Links to the Genç Altın shop and to social media take you to other websites, where each website's own cookie policy applies.
Managing cookie preferences
You can change your choice at any time through the "Cookie preferences" link at the very bottom of the page. If you withdraw your consent, the Google Analytics cookies are deleted and Analytics stops.
As strictly necessary cookies are needed for the website to work, they cannot be switched off on our website. You can delete or block all cookies in your browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge and others).
If you delete or block the language cookie, the website will open in the language shown in the address bar or set in your browser on your next visit. Blocking the administration panel cookies affects only authorised users signing in to the panel.
