Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 19, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies
Explore Jávea (operated by Sesiva LLC) uses on
explorejavea.com, why we use them, and how you can manage them.
It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to remember your preferences, and to provide anonymised reporting information to site owners.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies in two categories: essential cookies that are necessary for the site to function, and analytics cookies that we only set with your explicit consent.
We implement Google Consent Mode v2. By default all non-essential cookies are denied. Analytics cookies are only activated if you click Accept All or enable Analytics in the Manage Preferences panel. This is consistent with the guidance published by Spain's data-protection authority, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD), which requires unambiguous prior consent for analytics cookies that process personal data.

These cookies are necessary for the site to function and cannot be disabled through our preference panel. They do not identify you personally.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Our preference panel
You can review and change your cookie choices at any time using our panel. Changes take effect immediately; analytics cookies will only be set on your next page load if you have granted consent.
Browser settings
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View and delete existing cookies
- Block third-party cookies
- Block cookies from specific sites
- Block all cookies
- Delete cookies when you close your browser
Note: blocking all cookies will affect the functionality of many websites, including this one (the contact form relies on a session cookie).
Google Analytics opt-out
You can also opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
AEPD Compliance Note
In accordance with the Spanish Ley 34/2002 de Servicios de la Sociedad de la Información (LSSI) and GDPR as applicable in Spain, analytics cookies that may process personal data require prior, informed, and unambiguous consent from users. This site does not set analytics cookies until you provide that consent.
