Cookie Policy

Which cookies this website uses, and why

Last updated: October 26, 2026

This policy explains how the Santim websites (santim.tr, santim.ch, santim.at, santim.it and santim.fr) use cookies and similar technologies. We use only what is strictly necessary for the site to work. We do not use advertising, analytics or tracking cookies, and we do not share information about your visit with advertising networks.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as your browser's session storage, keep information on your device in a comparable way. This policy covers both.

Strictly necessary cookies only

All cookies listed above are strictly necessary to provide the website you have asked for. Under the data protection and electronic communications rules that apply in the European Union, Switzerland and Türkiye, such cookies do not require your consent, but we must inform you about them. That is what the notice shown on your first visit and this page are for.

  • If we ever add cookies that are not strictly necessary, such as analytics cookies, we will ask for your consent before setting them
  • Refusing them will then be as easy as accepting them, and you will be able to change your choice at any time

What we do not use

Our websites contain none of the following:

  • Advertising, remarketing or social media cookies
  • Analytics, statistics or audience measurement tools
  • Tracking pixels, browser fingerprinting or cross-site tracking
  • Embedded third-party content such as videos or maps; fonts and images are served from our own website

Country-based website suggestion

To suggest the Santim website for your country and to preselect the dialling code in our forms, our hosting provider determines your country from your IP address when a page is requested. Only the country code is used; we do not store it in a cookie or anywhere else, and it is not used to identify you.

Hosting and security

Only when it is needed to protect the website against abusive traffic, our hosting provider may run a security check in your browser and store a short-lived, strictly necessary security cookie. It is not used for advertising or analytics.

Managing and deleting cookies

You can view, delete or block cookies at any time in your browser settings. Because we use only strictly necessary cookies, blocking them will not stop you from reading the website, but your language may not be remembered and the cookie notice may be shown again.

Changes to this policy

We update this policy whenever the cookies we use change. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised. For how we process personal data in general, please see our Privacy Policy.
