Privacy & Analytics

We use privacy-friendly analytics to improve your experience without compromising your privacy.

No Cookies, No Tracking

We've made the decision to prioritize your privacy. Turkey Tourism uses Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly alternative that doesn't use cookies, doesn't track you across websites, and doesn't collect personal data.

What is Plausible Analytics?

Plausible Analytics is a lightweight, open-source web analytics tool that respects user privacy. Unlike traditional analytics platforms, Plausible doesn't use cookies, doesn't track users across websites, and doesn't collect personal information. It simply provides us with essential insights about how our website is used.

What data do we collect?

We collect only the minimum necessary data to understand how our website is used:

  • Page views: Which pages are visited most frequently
  • Referrer information: Which websites send visitors to us
  • Device information: General device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
  • Location: Country-level location (not precise location)
  • Custom events: Interactions like searches, clicks on attractions, etc.

What we DON'T collect

  • No personal information (names, emails, addresses)
  • No unique user identifiers or fingerprinting
  • No cross-site or cross-device tracking
  • No cookies or local storage
  • No IP address logging
  • No behavioral profiling

GDPR Compliance

Because Plausible Analytics doesn't collect personal data and doesn't use cookies, we don't need to show cookie banners or ask for consent under GDPR. The data we collect is anonymous and aggregated, making it impossible to identify individual users.

Data Processing

All analytics data is processed by Plausible Analytics, which is:

  • Hosted in the European Union (GDPR compliant)
  • Open source and transparent
  • Committed to privacy by design
  • Does not sell or share data with third parties
