Where cookies collect personal data, the GDPR (and Cyprus Law 125(I)/2018) also applies: our legal basis for strictly necessary cookies is the performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and our legitimate interest in running a secure, functional Website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR); for all other cookies, our legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

2.3 Google Consent Mode. We use Google Consent Mode v2 to pass your consent status to Google tags. Until you give consent for Statistics or Marketing, no analytics or advertising cookies are set on your device.
2.4 Third-party cookies and international transfers. Providers marked as third parties process data under their own privacy policies and, for marketing tools, may act as independent or joint controllers. Because providers such as Google, Vimeo and Cloudflare are based in the United States, data collected via their cookies may be transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA) under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) and/or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). Their policies:
3.1 Device information on the Website. With your consent only, the quote calculator and chat read technical details from your browser. These are device type and approximate model, operating system, browser, screen size and pixel density, memory and processor cores, graphics renderer and touch support. Our technical team uses them to tailor your quote and, mostly in aggregated form, to improve our designs, technical services and products.
This is not a cookie, but it is reading information from your device, so the same consent rules apply. You give consent with the "Tailor my quote" box or the chat consent statement. Nothing is read if you don't. You can withdraw consent at any time by emailing omar@emarketing.cy (or privacy@malaka.cy).
3.2 SDKs in our Apps. Our Apps use these software development kits.

We update this policy when we add or remove cookies or tools. The effective date shows the current version. If a change needs new consent, the banner asks you again.
Under the GDPR, you have the right to request access to, rectification or erasure of, or restriction of processing of personal data collected via cookies, as well as the right to data portability, the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests, and the right to withdraw consent at any time (without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal). See our Privacy Policy or contact us to exercise these rights.
