Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 16 March 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Málaga Mia (“we”, “our”, or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on malagamia.com (the “Website”).
No cookie banner required: We use only strictly necessary cookies needed to operate the Website. These cookies do not require consent under EU cookie rules when they are genuinely essential for the service you request (for example, login and security).
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly and can remember information such as session identifiers or user preferences.
2. The Cookies We Use
Málaga Mia uses only strictly necessary cookies required for the operation, security, and core functionality of the Website. These cookies are essential and are not used for advertising, marketing, or analytics.
2.1 Examples of strictly necessary uses
- maintaining login sessions for registered user accounts;
- enabling secure authentication and preventing unauthorised access;
- supporting website security and fraud prevention;
- maintaining user preferences during browsing where essential to deliver the service you request;
- supporting secure payment processing for business customers via our payment provider.
These cookies do not track users across websites and are not used for behavioural advertising.
3. No Analytics or Advertising Cookies
Málaga Mia does not currently use:
- analytics cookies;

4. Third-Party Services
Some essential Website functions may rely on trusted third-party service providers.
For example, payment processing for business customers may be handled by Stripe. Stripe may use strictly necessary cookies or similar technologies to securely process transactions, prevent fraud, and ensure the security of payment flows. These technologies are required to complete secure payments.
Note: Third-party providers may act as independent controllers for certain processing they perform. Their use of cookies or similar technologies is governed by their own policies.

Strictly necessary cookies may be stored for the duration of your browsing session (“session cookies”) or, where needed for core functionality, for a limited period (“persistent cookies”). The exact duration depends on the cookie’s purpose.

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through browser settings. You may:
- delete existing cookies;
- block cookies;
- receive alerts when cookies are being used.
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the Website (for example, login and security features).
