Türkçe Özet
Bu eklenti, Türkiye’deki web sitelerinin 6698 sayılı KVKK ve KVK Kurulu Çerez Kılavuzu kapsamındaki
yükümlülüklere yönelik adımlar atmasına yardımcı olmak amacıyla geliştirilmiştir. KVKK mevzuatı
dikkate alınarak tasarlanmış bir çerez onay barı, Google Consent Mode v2 entegrasyonu
(GTM veya gtag.js), şirket bilgilerinize göre otomatik oluşan bir KVKK aydınlatma metni üretici ve
onay istatistikleri paneli içerir. Eklenti modülerdir: sadece çerez barını, veya çerez barı ile
birlikte GA4 entegrasyonunu kullanabilir; KVKK metni üreticisini hiç kullanmadan kendi
avukatınızın hazırladığı metni de sayfanıza ekleyebilirsiniz.
Bu metin ve eklenti hukuki danışmanlık niteliği taşımaz; profesyonel bir hukuk danışmanına

FAQ
-
Is the generated privacy notice legal advice?
-
No. The generated text is a starting point based on general KVKK requirements. It does not constitute professional legal advice. We strongly recommend reviewing the text with a lawyer before publishing it, especially if you already work with legal counsel.
-
Do I have to use the privacy notice generator?
-
No. The plugin is modular and the privacy notice generator is entirely optional. You can use:
- Only the cookie consent bar (GA4 integration disabled — the default state), or
- The cookie consent bar together with GA4 / Consent Mode v2 integration (if enabled in settings)
— in either case, without ever using the [kvkk_aydinlatma_metni] shortcode. If you already have a privacy notice prepared by a lawyer, simply add that text to your page directly.
-
I edited the generated text manually. Will it update automatically when I change company info or data categories?
-
No. Once you manually edit the privacy notice text, it is treated as your custom text and is no longer regenerated automatically. If you change your company information or data categories afterwards, you need to go to the “KVKK Metni” page and click “Otomatik Oluştur” (Auto-Generate) again to refresh the text, or edit it manually.
-
Why does the disclaimer screen appear again after I deactivate/reactivate the plugin, or when a different user logs in?
-
The disclaimer acceptance is recorded per WordPress user. If a different user logs in, they have not yet accepted it, so it will be shown to them. Additionally, deactivating the plugin resets the acceptance records (the permanent file log is not affected), so reactivating the plugin will show the disclaimer again for all users. This ensures everyone is aware of the disclaimer terms after any plugin reinstallation or update.
-
Yes. As required by the KVKK Cookie Guidelines, analytics and marketing cookies are disabled by default. Only essential cookies are always active.
-
What happens when a visitor clicks “Tümünü Kabul Et” (Accept All)?
-
All cookie categories (essential, analytics, marketing) are enabled. If GA4 integration is active, Consent Mode v2 signals (analytics_storage, ad_storage, etc.) are updated to “granted”.
-
What happens when a visitor clicks “Tümünü Reddet” (Reject All)?
-
Only essential cookies remain active; analytics and marketing cookies stay disabled. If GA4 integration is active, Consent Mode v2 signals remain “denied”.
-
The site continues with only essential cookies. No consent choice is recorded, so the cookie bar will be shown again on the visitor’s next visit.
-
How long is consent stored?
-
Default is 180 days (6 months), configurable from the admin panel.
-
How does GA4 integration work?
-
Consent Mode v2 automatically updates analytics_storage and ad_storage signals based on user consent. Works with both GTM and direct gtag.js.
