Cookie Policy
Last updated: 21 Sep 2026
Clinicest (TURGUT VARLI, Büyükdere Cad. Levent Loft Residence No:201/6, Levent / İstanbul, Türkiye) is responsible for the cookies described on this page.
This page lists what Clinicest stores in your browser and what our analytics does, so you can decide. Analytics is optional: you can use every part of Clinicest without accepting it.
Status: analytics is not active on this site at the moment, so nothing on this page other than the necessary cookies is in use. If we switch it on, it will only run after you accept it.
Necessary cookies
These are needed for the site to work and are set without asking. We do not use them for analytics or advertising.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| clinicest-session | Keeps your visit together: the clinics or doctors you add to a comparison, your language, and sign-in for clinic, doctor and admin accounts. | About 2 hours after your last activity |
| XSRF-TOKEN | A security token that protects forms and live page updates from being submitted by another site. | About 2 hours |
| cx_consent | Remembers your cookie choice so we do not ask on every page. It contains the choice, the date and the version of this choice screen — nothing about you. It exists only after you make a choice. | 180 days |
Clinicest does not store anything about you in your browser's local or session storage.
Analytics cookies — only with your permission
If you accept analytics, we load Google Analytics 4, provided by Google, to count visits and see which pages and tools are used, so we can improve the site. Google's script then sets these cookies on clinicest.com:
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes one browser from another so visits can be counted. It is a random identifier, not your name or account. | 13 months |
| _ga_<ID> | Keeps the state of the current visit (session) for our Google Analytics property. | 13 months |
If you reject analytics, or do not choose, none of these cookies are set and Google's analytics script is not even downloaded.
What analytics receives
- The address of the page you view — without its query string, except campaign labels such as utm_source — its title and a general page category.
- The address (not the query string) of the page you came from.
- A few named events, without any details: a quote request or contact message was sent successfully, the cost estimator was used, the chat assistant was opened.
- Technical information that any website receives when a browser loads Google's script, such as your IP address, browser and device type, screen size and language.
Analytics never receives what you type into forms or the chat, your name, email address, phone number, uploaded files, health information, or the private links we email you. It does not run on sign-in, invitation, patient-portal, clinic, doctor or admin pages, or for signed-in users.
What we do not use
No advertising or marketing cookies, no remarketing, no Google Ads, no ad personalisation, no Google Signals and no cross-device tracking. Advertising-related consent signals are always set to denied.
Change or withdraw your choice
You can change your choice at any time; withdrawing it is as easy as giving it. Turning analytics off stops further measurement straight away and deletes the analytics cookies from your browser.
We ask again after about six months, or sooner if what analytics does changes. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings; the site keeps working, though your comparison list and any sign-in will not.
