Cookie Policy

The Horizon Hair Treatment Clinic website uses cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience. This policy explains which cookies we use, why we use them, and how to manage your preferences.

Last updated:

This Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on the website operated by Horizon Hair Treatment Clinic (the “Clinic”). Our aim is to make the website more functional and convenient while protecting the privacy of our visitors.

01What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file placed on your browser when you visit a website. Cookies help a website recognise your browser and remember your preferences between visits.

Cookies can be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain for a set period). They can also be first-party (placed directly by us) or third-party (placed by another service).

In this policy, the term “cookie” also covers similar technologies such as local storage, which serve the same purpose. Under KVKK and the applicable privacy legislation, the Clinic does not use cookies or similar technologies for personalisation without your explicit consent.

02Types of cookies we use

We group the cookies we use into three categories. Strictly necessary cookies are always on; the others are loaded only with your explicit opt-in.

Strictly necessary cookies

Always on

These cookies are required for the website to function. They are used to remember your language preference and to maintain a secure session. They cannot be disabled; if you turn them off, the site will not work correctly.

NEXT_LOCALE

Persistent (until browser deletes it) · Necessary

Remembers your selected language (Turkish or English), so you don't have to choose a language on every visit.

Session cookies

Until browser is closed · Necessary

Holds temporary session information for form submissions, security checks and booking requests.

Analytics cookies

Opt-in only

These help us understand, anonymously, how visitors use the site. We use them to learn which pages are popular and to improve content and the overall experience. These cookies are only loaded when you choose “Accept all” on our cookie consent banner.

Plausible / Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

Up to 14 months · Optional

Anonymous usage metrics such as page views, session duration and traffic sources.

Preference cookies

Optional

These remember choices such as your preferred currency (TRY/EUR) and your cookie consent. The site still works without them, but you would need to re-select your preferences on every visit.

Currency preference

12 months · Optional

Shows prices in Turkish Lira (₺) or Euro (€); your choice is preserved for subsequent visits.

Cookie consent (localStorage)

12 months · Optional

Stores your cookie preference so the consent banner does not reappear on every visit.

03Third-party cookies

By default, our website does not place any third-party cookies. Unless you explicitly accept analytics cookies, no analytics or advertising provider places a cookie in your browser.

If you choose “Accept all” on our cookie consent banner, analytics providers such as Plausible or Google Analytics 4 (GA4) may place cookies or similar technologies. Whether these providers are enabled is controlled by the .env configuration file on our server; when the configuration is off, no analytics script is loaded at all.

Our social media buttons (Instagram, YouTube, X) only open the relevant platform in a new tab when clicked; these platforms have their own cookie policies and do not place cookies until you click.

04Managing cookies

You can manage your cookie preferences in two ways: through our cookie consent banner and directly through your browser's settings.

Browser settings

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage cookies and website data
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data

Our cookie consent banner

You can re-open your cookie preferences using the button below. If you already have a stored preference in your browser, you may need to clear the site data — or remove the “horizon-cookie-consent-v1” key from localStorage — to see the banner again.

06What happens if you reject?

Even if you reject optional cookies, the site works fully. You can browse all treatment pages, doctor profiles, prices, blog posts, the results gallery and the booking form without any issues.

The only difference: no usage metrics are collected. This slows down our ability to learn which content works well, but it does not affect the content or experience shown to you in any way.

Strictly necessary cookies (NEXT_LOCALE and session cookies) cannot be rejected, because the site cannot function correctly without them. These cookies do not contain personally identifiable information.

07Have questions?

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, please get in touch. As the data controller, we are happy to help with any questions about our use of cookies and our privacy practices.
