Cookie Policy — Malta Mobile Guide

Cookies are small text files containing a string of characters that are sent to your browser when you visit a website. Your browser stores these files on your device and sends them back to the website on subsequent visits, allowing the site to recognise your device and remember certain information. Cookies can be 'first-party' (set by the website you are visiting) or 'third-party' (set by a domain other than the one you are visiting, such as an analytics or advertising service). Cookies can also be classified by their lifespan: 'session cookies' are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser, while 'persistent cookies' remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. Similar technologies include web beacons (tiny transparent images embedded in web pages), local storage, and pixel tags, which serve comparable purposes.

We use cookies for several purposes on our website. First, we use essential cookies to ensure the basic functionality of our site, such as remembering your cookie consent preferences and maintaining your session as you navigate between pages. Second, we use functional cookies to remember your preferences, such as your selected comparison filters, preferred language, and coverage map settings, so you don't have to reconfigure them on every visit. Third, we use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our site — which pages are most popular, how long users spend on comparison tables, and where visitors come from. This data helps us improve our content and tools. We do not use cookies for behavioural advertising or cross-site tracking. Our goal is to use the minimum number of cookies necessary to provide a fast, functional, and continuously improving user experience.

We categorise the cookies used on our website into four types: Necessary cookies, which are essential for the website to function and cannot be disabled; Functional cookies, which enhance your experience by remembering your preferences and settings; Analytics cookies, which help us understand website usage patterns through anonymised, aggregated data; and Marketing cookies, which are currently minimal on our site but may be used in the future to measure the effectiveness of any promotional campaigns we run. Each category is described in detail in the cookie types table below, including specific examples of the cookies used and their purposes. You can manage your preferences for non-essential cookies at any time through our cookie consent banner or your browser settings.

You have full control over which cookies are stored on your device. When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the 'Cookie Settings' link in our website footer. Additionally, most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically find these options in the 'Privacy,' 'Security,' or 'Advanced' sections of your browser's preferences. Common actions include blocking all cookies, blocking only third-party cookies, deleting existing cookies, or setting your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set. Please note that disabling necessary cookies may prevent certain features of our website from functioning correctly — for example, your comparison filter preferences may not be saved between page views. For detailed instructions on managing cookies in specific browsers, we recommend visiting the browser's official help documentation.

Our website may set a limited number of third-party cookies from services we use to operate and improve the site. These include: Google Analytics, which sets cookies to collect anonymised data about website traffic and user behaviour (we have enabled IP anonymisation to protect your privacy); Cloudflare, which may set cookies for security purposes such as distinguishing between human visitors and automated bots; and embedded map services used in our coverage map tools, which may set their own cookies to deliver map tiles and remember zoom levels. We do not allow third-party advertising networks to set cookies on our site. We regularly audit the third-party cookies present on our website and remove any that are unnecessary or that do not meet our privacy standards. Each third-party provider's cookie practices are governed by their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies we use, updates to applicable laws and regulations, or improvements to our website functionality. When we make significant changes, we will update the 'Last Updated' date at the top of this policy and, where appropriate, re-display the cookie consent banner so you can review and update your preferences. We encourage you to check this page regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies. If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or our use of cookies, please contact us at info@maltamobileoperatorsguidelandinggomelitaepiccomparisontables5gcoveragemapstourist.com. Your continued use of our website after changes to this policy constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
