This policy explains what cookies are used on malta-company-formation.com, why they are used, and how you control them. This site is operated by EcoClick Ltd, an EU-registered entity subject to GDPR. This policy applies to all visitors regardless of location or nationality.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your browser across pages, remember your preferences, and collect anonymous usage data. Cookies do not give us access to your device, your files, or any information you have not explicitly provided through a form on this site.
What Cookies We Use
We use two categories of cookies on this site. Nothing more.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the site to operate. They manage your browser session, store your cookie consent preference, and ensure that qualification forms function correctly. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without breaking the site’s core functionality. They do not collect personal data and are not used for any analytical or commercial purpose.
Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to understand how visitors use this site: which pages they consult, how long they stay, what content they engage with, and how they arrive. This data is anonymised before processing and is used exclusively to improve the accuracy, structure, and usefulness of our content for international founders evaluating Malta as a company formation jurisdiction.
No advertising cookies. No retargeting. No cross-site behavioural tracking.
What We Do Not Use
- Advertising or targeting cookies of any kind
- Social media tracking pixels (Meta, LinkedIn, X, or otherwise)
- Third-party behavioural profiling or remarketing networks
- Cookies that identify you personally without your explicit prior consent

How to Control Cookies
On your first visit to this site, a consent banner gives you the option to accept or decline analytics cookies. Your choice is stored for 12 months. You can withdraw or change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, at which point the banner will reappear.
You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Instructions for the major browsers:
To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. This prevents data from being sent to Google Analytics regardless of which sites you visit.
Google Analytics and Data Transfers Outside the EEA
Google Analytics processes data on servers that may be located outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Google operates under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, providing a legal basis for these transfers under GDPR. We have enabled IP anonymisation on all Google Analytics tracking implemented on this site. Your full IP address is never stored or processed by Google Analytics in connection with your visit here. For full details of how Google handles data, refer to Google’s Privacy Policy.
As a Malta-registered entity, EcoClick Ltd is subject to EU GDPR. The use of analytics cookies on this site is based on your consent, obtained through the cookie banner on first visit. You may withdraw that consent at any time as described above.
Updates to This Policy
If we introduce new tools, change how we use analytics data, or modify the categories of cookies in use, we update this page and revise the date shown at the top. Where the change affects cookies that require consent under GDPR, returning visitors will be prompted through the consent banner to confirm their preference again.
Questions about this policy or a complaint about how we handle cookie data can be directed to the Information and Data Protection Commissioner (IDPC), the Maltese supervisory authority for data protection, or submitted directly to us through our contact page. We respond within 48 hours on business days.
