Privacy policy
What we collect, how we use it and your choices.
This privacy policy explains how Türkiye Relocation ("we", "us") handles personal data when you use [turkiyerelocation.com](https://www.turkiyerelocation.com). It is provided for informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice.
Information we collect
- Calculator inputs: calculations run entirely in your browser. Inputs are not transmitted to our servers.
- Newsletter signups (currently disabled): the newsletter is not active at launch. When we activate it (Phase 2), we will receive your email address, the page you submitted from, and a timestamp — used only to send relocation updates, with one-click unsubscribe in every email. We will update this policy when the newsletter goes live.
- Analytics (Google Analytics 4): when you have given consent (see Cookies), GA4 records anonymised IP, page paths, device type, referrer and approximate location.
- Session analytics (Microsoft Clarity): when you have given consent, Clarity records anonymised page interactions and heatmap data. Form fields and other sensitive content are masked by default — Clarity does not record what you type into the email field.
- Bot mitigation (Cloudflare Turnstile): the newsletter form may use Cloudflare Turnstile to distinguish humans from bots. Turnstile processes a token without using tracking cookies.
- Advertising (Google AdSense): we display advertising served by Google AdSense. Google and third-party vendors on its network may set cookies — including the DoubleClick cookie — to serve, frequency-cap and measure ads. Where you have consented, those ads may be personalised based on your previous visits to this and other websites; without consent you see only non-personalised ads. Opt-out links are listed under Third-party services below.
- Contact submissions: if you email us, we receive your message and email address. We use this only to reply.
How we use information
- To operate, maintain and improve the website.
- To monitor traffic and content performance in aggregate.
- To send newsletter updates only to addresses that have explicitly opted in.
- To respond to support, feedback or partnership inquiries.
- To comply with legal obligations.
Cookies and consent
We use Google Consent Mode v2. Until you explicitly accept, analytics storage and ad storage are denied, and Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity and Google AdSense receive only consent-mode-permitted aggregate signals (no personal identifiers, no personalised advertising signals). When you accept, those signals are unblocked. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, consent is collected instead through Google's certified consent management platform, which appears on your first visit. Either way, you can change your choice at any time via “Cookie preferences” in the footer.
Some functionality (such as local checklist progress and your consent decision itself) is stored only in your browser's local storage and is not sent to us.
Third-party services
When you visit our site, third parties may set their own cookies and process data under their own privacy policies: Google (analytics and AdSense advertising), Microsoft (session analytics) and Cloudflare (bot mitigation). We do not control those services. Their policies: Google, Microsoft, Cloudflare. For advertising specifically, see how Google uses advertising cookies and turn personalisation off at Google Ads Settings, aboutads.info, youronlinechoices.eu.
