How We Use Cookies
This policy explains what cookies are, which cookies nli.com.tr uses, why we use them, and how you can control or opt out of non-essential cookies at any time.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences — such as language, currency, or login status — over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter them whenever you come back or browse between pages.
Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information on their own, but they may be combined with other data to identify you. Under Turkish KVKK Law No. 6698, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the ePrivacy Directive, we are required to inform you about the cookies we use and obtain your consent for non-essential ones.
- Session cookies — temporary; deleted when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a set duration or until deleted
- First-party cookies — set directly by nli.com.tr
- Third-party cookies — set by external services embedded on our site (e.g. analytics, advertising)
Cookie Categories
We classify cookies into four categories based on their purpose. Essential cookies are always active. For all other categories, we ask for your consent before setting them.
Essential
Always onRequired for the website to function. Cannot be disabled. They include session management, security tokens, currency selection, and language preferences.
Functional
OptionalEnable enhanced features like remembering your preferred currency, recently viewed properties, and personalised content. Site works without them but with reduced experience.
Analytics
OptionalHelp us understand how visitors use our website — which pages are popular, where users drop off, and how to improve performance. Data is aggregated and anonymised.

You have several ways to control or opt out of non-essential cookies. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality — for example, currency preferences may reset on each visit.
- Browser settings — all modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via their privacy or security settings. Look for the "Cookies" or "Site Data" section in your browser's settings menu.

When you first visit nli.com.tr, a cookie consent banner is displayed. By accepting all cookies, you consent to us placing analytics and marketing cookies on your device. You may withdraw or amend your consent at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site, or by contacting us directly.

Data Retention & Policy Updates
Cookie data is retained for the durations listed in the table in Section 3. Once a cookie expires or is deleted, associated data is no longer accessible by the cookie mechanism — though data already transmitted to third-party services (such as Google Analytics or HubSpot) may be retained according to those services' own policies.
We review and update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable legislation. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will change whenever we make material revisions. We recommend checking this page occasionally.
