Manage Cookie Consent with Okito in Three Steps

Customize your cookie banner, information notices, categories, and preference center to reflect your website’s data practices. Give visitors clear information and appropriate options to accept, reject, or manage relevant cookie categories.
Deploy and Monitor
Add the Okito installation code and publish your consent banner across your website. Apply visitor choices to relevant scripts, store consent records, and monitor newly detected tracking technologies from a central dashboard.

02
Clearly explain what each cookie does and how it uses personal data.
03

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
KVKK is Türkiye’s Law on the Protection of Personal Data No. 6698. It sets the rules for collecting, using, storing, transferring, and protecting personal data while safeguarding individuals’ privacy rights.
Under Article 10 of the KVKK, data controllers must inform users about processing purposes and legal bases. Okito automates this by:
• Layered Notices: Providing a summary notice at the first point of contact and a detailed policy for further reading.
• Dynamic Updates: Automatically updating your cookie list whenever a new tracking script is detected.
• Identity Transparency: Clearly disclosing the identity of the data controller as required by the law.
Yes. For 2026, administrative fines range from TRY 85,437 to TRY 17,092,242, depending on the type and severity of the violation. Certain unlawful activities may also lead to criminal proceedings or compensation claims.
No. Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent when another lawful processing condition applies. Analytics, advertising, targeting, and similar cookies may require consent if there is no other valid legal basis for processing the data.
KVKK applies to individuals, businesses, public bodies, associations, and other organizations that process personal data automatically or through a structured filing system. This includes employers, online stores, healthcare providers, schools, agencies, and website operators, subject to the exemptions specified in the law.
KVKK violations can occur at any stage of personal data processing, from collection and use to sharing, storage, and deletion. Common examples include:
Collecting Data Without Consent or Another Lawful Basis: Processing personal data without meeting a valid legal condition.
Unauthorized Data Sharing: Disclosing personal data to people or organizations that are not authorized to receive it.
Insufficient Privacy Notice: Failing to explain why data is collected, how it is used, or who may receive it.
Invalid Cookie Consent: Activating cookies that require consent before the user makes a valid choice.
Inadequate Data Security: Failing to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, disclosure, or theft.
Excessive Data Retention: Keeping personal data after its legal or operational purpose has ended.
Ignoring Individual Rights: Failing to respond properly to access, correction, deletion, or information requests.
Late Breach Notification: Failing to report a qualifying personal data breach within the required period.
The organization may be investigated and ordered to correct, delete, or stop unlawful data processing. It may also receive an administrative fine. Serious violations can result in suspended processing, criminal proceedings, or compensation claims from affected individuals.
A data controller must notify the Personal Data Protection Board without delay and no later than 72 hours after becoming aware of the breach. Affected individuals must also be informed as soon as reasonably possible. If the deadline cannot be met for a justified reason, the delay must be explained to the Board.
Any information relating to an identified or identifiable person may be unlawful to share without a valid legal basis or proper authorization. This includes identity, contact, financial, health, biometric, location, criminal-record, and private communication data. Unlawful disclosure may result in two to four years of imprisonment under Article 136 of the Turkish Criminal Code.
