Cookie Policy
This policy explains what information is stored in your browser when you visit gepako.com.
This is a translation. In case of any discrepancy, the Turkish version prevails.
Cookies and similar technologies we use
- We do not use visitor-analytics cookies, and your visit is not tracked by third-party tracking tools. The only exception is the Google Ads conversion cookie described below, which runs only with your explicit consent.
- To measure whether our Google Ads campaigns work, Google’s advertising conversion cookie (gtag.js, Google Ireland Ltd.) is loaded only if you choose “Accept” in the cookie banner: when you submit the quotation form, open WhatsApp, start a GepaGO plan or request a quotation from the container calculator, the page visit and the fact that “a conversion happened” are sent to Google; when you submit the quotation form your e-mail address and phone number are added in one-way hashed form (SHA-256), computed in your browser. If you came from a Google ad, the click identifier in the address (GCLID) is kept in your browser (with consent for up to 90 days in local storage, “gepako:gclid”; without consent only while the tab is open) and stored with your quotation request; your request code (TT-…) is sent to Google with the conversion so the same request is not counted twice. Choosing “Decline” deletes this record. Your name and the request content are not sent. With your consent Google records that you visited our site and may show you our ads again on Google (in search and on sites in Google’s ad network) — remarketing; Google signals and analytics cookies stay off. If you choose “Decline”, or Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control is enabled in your browser, no Google script is loaded at all. Your choice is kept in your browser (“gepako:consent-v3”; asked again on 5 November 2026 because remarketing was added); clearing site data makes the banner ask again. Google processes this data outside Türkiye and the EEA under its own privacy policy.
- The box that suggests another language version of the site is shown once per visit; whether it was shown or closed is kept only in your browser while the tab is open (session storage), contains no personal data and is not sent to us.
- To understand which parts of the website are used, we run a cookie-free, anonymous usage measurement: while the tab is open your browser generates a random visit identifier (session storage, “gepako:visit”); it is deleted when the tab closes and cannot be linked to you. We count which pages are opened, which step of the quotation form is reached, which buttons are used and where the visit came from (only the referring site’s name, e.g. Google, or that it was an ad click; the full address and search terms are not recorded; session storage “gepako:src”) and the approximate location (country and province / city, derived by our hosting provider from its IP database; the IP address itself is neither read nor stored); your IP address is not stored and no name or contact details are recorded. If “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control is enabled in your browser, no measurement is sent at all. Our team’s own browsers are excluded: a browser that opens the management panel, or opens an address ending in “?olcme=0”, gets a persistent marker (local storage, “gepako:olcme”); “?olcme=1” removes it. The product you viewed on a product page is remembered while the tab is open so that it is preselected in the quotation form on the home page (session storage, “gepako:last-product”; product name only, deleted when the tab closes). When you open the page of a price quotation sent to you, only the team that prepared it is told that the quotation was opened, so that they can get back to you; a “gepako:offer-seen” marker is written to session storage so this is not repeated in the same tab (deleted when the tab closes, contains no personal data). On the phone where you open a quotation, request or order page, a “My orders” list is kept (local storage, “gepako:siparislerim”; only the page address, code and title; not sent to us). If you tap “Turn on notifications”, your phone’s notification address (the subscription details provided by the browser) is stored linked to your phone number, and notifications are sent when your quotation is ready, your proof is ready, your deposit is received and your order ships; you can turn notifications off anytime in your phone settings. If you arrive from an AI search (e.g. ChatGPT), a one-time welcome card is shown and a “gepako:ai-hi” marker is written to session storage (deleted when the tab closes, contains no personal data). If you arrive through one of our partners’ links, the partner’s short code is kept in local storage for 30 days (“gepako:ortak”; code only, contains no personal data) so that your quotation request is marked as recommended by that partner. When you request a quotation on WhatsApp, the name you enter is added to the prepared WhatsApp message so that we can address you properly, and is kept in session storage while the tab is open so you are not asked again during the same visit (“gepako:wa-ad”; deleted when the tab closes); your phone number is not asked on the website and reaches our team only with your WhatsApp message. If you leave the quotation form halfway to open another page or WhatsApp, the products, quantities and the form’s short fields (name, phone, city, company, e-mail) are kept in session storage while the tab is open so you can continue where you left off (“gepako:teklif-taslak”; not sent to us, deleted when your request is sent, when you tap “Clear form” or when the tab closes).

Third-party links
When you click a WhatsApp, Instagram or e-mail link, you move to that service, where its own cookie and privacy rules apply.
Changes
If analytics or advertising cookies are added to the site in the future, this policy will be updated and such cookies will only run with your explicit consent.
