Cookie Policy

Last updated: 18 October 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Xena Creations (“Xena”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit www.xenacreations.com.

It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use and protect personal information more generally.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone or other device when you visit a website.

They can be used for a variety of purposes, such as allowing a website to function correctly, remembering preferences, understanding how visitors use a website and, where applicable, supporting advertising or marketing activities.

Cookies may be:

Session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser; or

Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.

They may also be:

First-party cookies, placed directly by Xena’s website; or

Third-party cookies, placed by external services used on our website.

2. How we use cookies

Xena may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Make our website work correctly;
• Remember your preferences;
• Remember your cookie choices;
• Maintain website security;
• Understand how visitors use our website;
• Measure website performance;
• Improve our website and services;
• Understand which pages, projects and services visitors are interested in;
• Measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns; and
• Enable third-party features or embedded content where applicable.

We do not use non-essential cookies before obtaining your consent where consent is legally required.

Under Malta’s applicable electronic communications rules, cookies that are strictly necessary to provide a service requested by the user may be exempt from the consent requirement. Tracking and other non-essential cookies generally require prior informed consent. IDPC

3. Types of cookies we may use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to operate properly.

They may be used for purposes such as:

• Website security;
• Form functionality;
• Session management;
• Load balancing;
• Remembering cookie preferences; and
• Other essential technical functions.

Because these cookies are necessary for the website to function, they may be placed without requiring consent.

Disabling them through your browser may affect how the website works.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use xenacreations.com.

They may provide information such as:

• Which pages are visited;
• How visitors arrive on the website;
• How long visitors remain on particular pages;
• Which devices and browsers are used;
• General interaction with the website; and
• Whether visitors complete actions such as submitting an enquiry.

This information helps us improve the website and understand which content is most useful to visitors.

Where required, analytics cookies will only be activated after you provide consent.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies

If we use advertising or remarketing services, these technologies may help us:

• Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns;
• Understand whether someone visited the website after seeing an advertisement;
• Build audiences for advertising;
• Show more relevant advertisements; and
• Measure enquiries or other conversions.

These technologies may be provided by third parties such as Meta or Google.

Marketing cookies will not be activated before you provide consent where consent is required.

Functionality Cookies

Functionality cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made or provide enhanced features.

These may include preferences relating to:

• Language;
• Display settings;
• Embedded services; or
• Other website functionality.

Whether these cookies require consent will depend on their purpose and whether they are necessary to provide a feature you have specifically requested.

Third-Party and Embedded Content

Our website may include content or functionality provided by third parties, such as:

• Instagram;
• Facebook;
• Other external platforms.

When you interact with embedded third-party content, the relevant provider may place cookies or collect information about your interaction.

Where legally required, such third-party content or associated tracking technologies will not be activated until you provide consent.

The use of information by those providers is also governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.

4. Your cookie choices

When you first visit our website, you may be presented with a cookie banner allowing you to:

Accept All

Reject Non-Essential Cookies

or

Manage Preferences

You can choose which categories of optional cookies you wish to allow.

Strictly necessary cookies cannot normally be disabled through our cookie preference tool because they are required for the website to function.

Non-essential cookies should remain inactive unless and until you provide the relevant consent.

Malta’s Information and Data Protection Commissioner states that cookie consent must involve a genuine affirmative choice and that mechanisms such as pre-ticked boxes, scrolling as consent or cookie walls do not constitute valid consent. Consent must also be capable of being withdrawn. IDPC

5. Changing or withdrawing your consent

You may change your cookie preferences or withdraw your consent at any time.

You can do this through the Cookie Settings option available on our website.

Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.

It should be as easy for a visitor to withdraw consent as it was to provide it. IDPC

6. Managing cookies through your browser

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

• View stored cookies;
• Delete individual cookies;
• Delete all cookies;
• Block cookies from particular websites;
• Block third-party cookies; or
• Prevent cookies from being stored altogether.

Please note that blocking all cookies may affect certain website features.

The European Commission also notes that users can remove existing cookies or manage site-specific cookie permissions through their browser settings. European Commission
