1. Introduction

Operating from one of Antalya's favourite resort districts, Antalya Massage Salon Nova Spa ("Nova Spa Massage", "we") explains in this Cookie Policy how cookies and similar technologies are used on our website at https://novamasajspa.com (the "Site").

Antalya Massage Salon Nova Spa is the data controller under Turkish Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data ("KVKK"). This document is written to meet the disclosure duty set out in Article 10 of the KVKK for cookies specifically, and to align with the Guidelines on Cookie Practices (2022) issued by the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority.

Because Antalya welcomes holidaymakers from across Europe every summer, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive are also observed for guests visiting the Site from the European Union or the United Kingdom; the policy is written to cover both local and international visitors alike.

2. What Is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small text fragment your browser leaves on your device (computer, tablet, phone) when you visit a website; cookies help keep the site running smoothly, remember your preferences, and gather visit statistics.

This policy covers not just classic cookies but also similar tools that do the same job, such as local storage, session storage, pixel tags, web beacons and SDKs; throughout this text, "cookie" refers to all of them unless stated otherwise.

3. Cookie Categories by Purpose

Cookies used on the Site fall into four categories based on their purpose. Apart from strictly necessary cookies, all categories are switched off by default and are only activated with your explicit consent (opt-in).

3.1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are technically essential for the Site's core functions to work, for security, and for delivering the services you request. They cannot be disabled; turning them off may cause parts of the Site to stop working.

Legal basis: These cookies are processed without requiring explicit consent, pursuant to Article 5(2)(c) of the KVKK ("directly related to the establishment or performance of a contract") and Article 5(2)(f) ("legitimate interest of the data controller").

3.2. Functional Cookies

These cookies remember your language preference, region selection and similar personalization settings to give you a more tailored experience.

Legal basis: Based on your explicit consent under Article 5(1) of the KVKK. Switched off by default.

3.3. Analytics (Performance) Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site — which pages are viewed, how long visits last, and where errors occur — mostly by producing anonymous or aggregated statistics.

Legal basis: Based on your explicit consent under Article 5(1) of the KVKK. Switched off by default.

3.4. Marketing (Targeting/Advertising) Cookies

These cookies are typically used by third-party advertising providers to show content and ads suited to your interests, measure campaign performance, and manage ad frequency.

Legal basis: Based on your explicit consent under Article 5(1) of the KVKK. Switched off by default.

4. Cookies by Duration and Party

By lifespan: Session cookies disappear on their own once you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay on your device until a set date arrives, or until you remove them.

By origin: First-party cookies come directly from Nova Spa Massage. Third-party cookies come from the analytics or advertising partners that support the Site.

5. Cookie Inventory

The table below is our current, up-to-date record of the cookies actually running on the Site, together with their purpose, origin and how long each is kept.

6. Third-Party Services

From time to time the Site relies on cookies from the third-party providers below; how each one handles data is set out in its own privacy policy.

  • Google Analytics 4: Measures aggregated visit statistics to help us understand site traffic and user behaviour. More information: https://policies.google.com/privacy
  • Google Ads: Used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and to enable remarketing. More information: https://policies.google.com/privacy
  • Google Tag Manager: Centrally manages the tags (measurement and marketing codes) on the Site; it does not collect personal data on its own, but the tags it manages may use cookies. More information: https://policies.google.com/privacy
  • Meta (Facebook) Pixel: Used to measure the performance of ads run on Facebook and Instagram and to build audiences. More information: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy

7. Google Consent Mode v2

Google Consent Mode v2 runs on the Site: until you consent to analytics or marketing cookies, Google's tools place no advertising or measurement cookie on your device at all. Once you save your choice, a matching consent signal is passed to the relevant Google service, and cookies then work strictly within the boundaries of that permission.

8. Managing Your Consent

On your first visit, the cookie notice bar at the bottom of the screen lets you accept everything, reject everything, or open "Cookie Settings" to choose category by category; every category besides strictly necessary starts switched off.

You can revisit that choice whenever you like — the floating cookie icon in the bottom-left corner of the page reopens the preference panel so you can update your selections.

9. Managing Cookies via Your Browser

Your browser's own settings menu is another way to view, delete or block cookies; help pages for the most common browsers are collected below:

Switching off cookies entirely at browser level can affect strictly necessary cookies too, which may leave parts of the Site working imperfectly.

10. Processing of Personal Data and Your Rights

Article 11 of the KVKK gives you the following rights over the personal data cookies process about you:

  • To learn whether your personal data is being processed,
  • To request information if your personal data has been processed,
  • To learn the purpose of processing and whether it is used accordingly,
  • To know the third parties, domestic or abroad, to whom your personal data has been transferred,
  • To request correction of incomplete or inaccurate personal data,
  • To request deletion or destruction of your personal data within the conditions set out in Article 7 of the KVKK,
  • To request that correction, deletion or destruction be notified to the third parties to whom your data has been transferred,
  • To object to a result that is to your detriment arising solely from automated analysis of your processed data,
  • To request compensation for damages arising from unlawful processing of your personal data.

How to apply: Send requests about these rights in writing, per the Communiqué on the Procedures and Principles of Application to the Data Controller and Article 13 of the KVKK, to Dutlubahçe Mahallesi, Fatih Caddesi No:46/2, 07010 Muratpaşa/Antalya or to [email protected]. Nova Spa Massage closes out requests free of charge, as quickly as the matter allows and within thirty days at the outside; where handling a request carries a genuine cost, the Board's published tariff may apply.

Should we reject your request, answer it inadequately, or miss the statutory deadline, you may file a complaint with the Turkish Personal Data Protection Board.

For guests covered by the GDPR: Travellers visiting us from the European Union or the United Kingdom may also lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority back home under the GDPR.

11. Changes

Nova Spa Massage revises this Cookie Policy from time to time as regulations evolve or the Site changes; the live version always sits on this page, and the date above moves forward whenever a material change is made. Carrying on using the Site tells us you've read the current version.
