At Aydın Makine ('we', 'us', or 'our'), your privacy is important to us. This policy explains how we use cookies and local storage technologies on our website, what information we store, and how you can manage your preferences.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

First-party cookies are set by the website you're currently visiting and are used to remember things like your login status, language preference, or items in your shopping cart.
Functional cookies, which can be either first- or third-party, help improve your experience by remembering preferences such as display settings or region choices, but they aren't strictly necessary for the website to work.
Third-party cookies are set by external domains, such as advertisers or embedded content providers, and are mainly used to track your activity across different websites for purposes like targeted advertising.
