Cookie Policy – malagaairports.com

What cookies and similar technologies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser so that it can recognise the browser on a later request. Similar technologies include local storage in the browser, pixels and scripts that read information from your device. In this policy, "cookies" covers all of them.

Cookies set by malagaairports.com itself are first-party cookies. Cookies set by another domain, such as Google's advertising domains, are third-party cookies; the company that sets them controls what they contain. Some cookies disappear when you close the browser (session cookies); others stay until they expire or you delete them (persistent cookies).

Cookies used on this site

The table lists typical examples in each category. It is not an exhaustive or guaranteed list: Google, Cloudflare and the consent platform can rename, add or retire cookies, and the exact set placed in your browser depends on your consent choices, your location and whether advertising is enabled. The consent banner shows the current vendors and purposes.

We do not use cookies to identify you by name, and the guide does not need cookies for log-in or a shopping basket because it has neither.

How consent works

Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from consent under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations and Article 22(2) of the Spanish Ley 34/2002, because the site cannot be delivered securely without them. All other cookies need your prior consent if you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland.

On your first visit, a banner from a Google-certified consent management platform that implements the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF) asks for your choice. It lets you accept all, refuse all non-essential cookies, or choose individual purposes and vendors. Refusing is as easy as accepting, and the site works in the same way whichever option you choose.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the consent or privacy settings link shown on the site. Withdrawing consent stops further use of the relevant cookies; it does not affect what happened before, and cookies already stored remain in your browser until they expire or you delete them.

Where Google Consent Mode is used, Google tags read your consent choice and adjust what they store: if you refuse, analytics and advertising cookies are not set for those purposes.

Advertising cookies and Google AdSense

When advertising is enabled, ads on this site are served by Google AdSense.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings. To opt out of personalised advertising by other participating vendors, use www.aboutads.info/choices or www.youronlinechoices.eu.

In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, personalised ads are shown only if you consent through the consent platform. If you do not, Google may show non-personalised ads, chosen from context such as the page you are reading and your approximate location. Non-personalised ads may still use cookies or similar technologies for frequency capping, aggregated ad reporting and to combat fraud and abuse, in line with your consent choices and the law.

More details: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and the Google Privacy Policy.

Analytics cookies and Google Analytics

With your consent, Google Analytics 4 sets cookies such as _ga and _ga_<ID> so we can count visits, see which pages are useful and find pages that need updating. Reports are aggregated; we do not use them to identify individuals. Google states that Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses, and for EU visitors uses the IP address only to derive approximate location before discarding it.

If you refuse analytics in the banner, these cookies are not set. You can also install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, which stops Google Analytics from receiving data from your browser on any website.

Blocking or deleting cookies in your browser

All common browsers let you view and delete cookies, block third-party cookies or block all cookies, usually under Settings › Privacy or Privacy and security. Check the help pages of your browser (for example Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge) for current instructions, as menus change between versions. On mobile devices, you can also limit ad tracking in the operating system's privacy or advertising settings.

Blocking all cookies may stop security checks from completing and the consent banner from remembering your choice, so it may appear on every visit. Deleting cookies removes your saved choice and the banner will ask again.

Third-party content and partner links

Cookies set by Google and other third parties are governed by their own policies; we cannot read or control them. If you follow an affiliate link to a travel partner (for example flight search, parking, transfers or car hire), the partner's website sets its own cookies, including cookies used to attribute a booking to this guide. Check the partner's cookie policy on its own site.

Links to official sources, such as Aena or transport operators, open those organisations' websites, which have their own cookie rules.

Changes to this policy and contact

We review this policy when we add or remove a service that uses cookies, or when the law or the consent framework changes. The revision date on this page shows the latest version. If a change requires new consent, the banner will ask you again.

Questions about cookies can be sent to contact (at) malagaairports (dot) com. For how personal data collected through cookies is handled, your rights and how to complain, see our privacy policy.
