Cookies Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, remember your preferences, and provide usage data to website owners.

How We Use Cookies

LetsGoMalaga.com uses cookies for the following purposes:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They include cookies that enable basic features like page navigation and access to secure areas.

  • Session cookies — maintain your browsing session
  • Security cookies — protect against cross-site request forgery

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics services to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us improve content and user experience.

  • PostHog — tracks page views, affiliate link clicks and general traffic sources. Session recording is switched off, and PostHog does not run on localhost or on preview/staging versions of this site
  • Vercel Analytics — monitors website performance and page load times

Data collected through analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymous. We cannot identify individual users from this data.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization:

  • Theme preferences — remembering your display settings
  • Language preferences — storing your preferred language (future feature)

Third-Party Cookies

Some content on our website may include embedded elements from third parties that may set their own cookies:

  • Google Maps — when displaying interactive maps
  • Booking.com / GetYourGuide — when displaying affiliate booking widgets
  • Stay22 — the widget that turns our hotel links into tracked affiliate links; it only loads after you interact with the page
  • YouTube — when displaying embedded videos

We do not control cookies set by third parties. Please refer to their respective privacy policies for more information.

Managing Cookies in Your Browser

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies
  • Edge: Settings → Privacy → Cookies

Opting Out of Analytics

  • PostHog: Visit any page on this site with ?ph_optout=1 added to the URL once — this sets a two-year opt-out cookie and stops all PostHog tracking for your browser from then on
  • Blocking cookies and scripts in your browser (see above) stops PostHog and Stay22 as well as any third-party embed

Please note: Disabling essential cookies may affect website functionality.

  • Session cookies — deleted when you close your browser
  • Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a set period (typically 30 days to 2 years depending on the cookie)

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
