1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as the browser’s local and session storage, let a website remember information on your device.
2. Necessary cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to work and to keep it secure. They are not used to track you across other websites and do not require consent.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
beauty_source_trade_session | Keeps your browsing session and the information needed to process forms. Marked HttpOnly so it cannot be read by scripts. | About 2 hours of inactivity |
XSRF-TOKEN | Security token that protects our forms (contact, request a quote) against cross-site request forgery. | About 2 hours |
bst_consent | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies, so we can respect your choice. It contains only that choice. | 180 days |
__cf_bm and other Cloudflare security cookies | May be set by our content delivery and security provider Cloudflare to protect the website against automated attacks. | Usually 30 minutes |
3. Analytics cookies (only with your consent)
If you click “Accept”, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the website is used, for example which pages are visited and whether a request for quotation was sent. We see this only as aggregated statistics. If you click “Reject” or make no choice, Google Analytics is not loaded and no information is sent to Google for analytics.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics: distinguishes visitors with a random identifier to produce visit statistics. | 2 years, or until you withdraw consent |
_ga_2D097HMN9Y | Google Analytics: keeps the state of the current visit (session) for the statistics. | 2 years, or until you withdraw consent |
We send Google only the address of the page without any query parameters, the page title, the language and, when a request for quotation is created, a “generate_lead” event. We do not send your name, e-mail address, company, request number, form content or the address of private pages. Google signals and advertising features are turned off, and Google Analytics does not store IP addresses. Google may process this information on servers outside Türkiye, including in the United States.
4. Browser storage we use
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
bst-rfq-draft-v1 (session storage) | Keeps the answers you type into the Request a Quote form if the page is reloaded. Uploaded files are never stored. Removed when you submit the form. | Until the browser tab is closed |
bst-lead-seen (session storage) | Prevents the same request for quotation from being counted twice when the page is refreshed. It holds a random value with no personal data. | Until the browser tab is closed |
5. Other third-party services
The website loads its fonts from Bunny Fonts (fonts.bunny.net); when your browser requests the font files, your IP address is sent to that service. If you click a WhatsApp link, WhatsApp’s own terms and cookies apply on its service.
6. Your choices
You can accept or reject analytics cookies in the cookie notice. You can change your choice at any time with the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page or with the buttons at the top of this page. If you withdraw consent, Google Analytics stops immediately and its cookies are deleted from your browser. Information collected before you withdrew consent is kept by Google Analytics only for the retention period set in our account (2 months) and is then deleted.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block the necessary cookies, the contact and request-a-quote forms may not work.
