Last updated: July 20, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how MAÍÍZA Co. uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit the MAÍÍZA website.

It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small data files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website.

Cookies can help websites:

function properly
remember visitor preferences
maintain security
understand website performance
recognize returning browsers
provide certain website features

Some cookies remain only during your browsing session, while others may remain on your device for a longer period.

2. WHO WE ARE

This website is operated by:

MAÍÍZA Co.
#12, 2380 Royal Windsor Dr
Mississauga, Ontario L5J 1K6
Canada

3. HOW WE USE COOKIES

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

operate the website
protect the website from fraud or misuse
maintain website security
remember visitor settings
remember age-gate confirmation
improve website performance
identify technical problems
understand how visitors interact with the website
support features provided by Wix

The exact cookies used may change as the website or its features are updated.

4. ESSENTIAL COOKIES

Essential cookies are required for the website to operate properly.

They may be used for:

website security
fraud prevention
session management
network protection
page rendering
technical stability
remembering necessary visitor settings
supporting contact-form functions

These cookies may be placed automatically and may not be disabled through the website’s cookie controls where they are necessary for the website to function.

Wix identifies several cookies used for security, stability, fraud detection, platform operation and rendering as essential cookies.

5. AGE-GATE COOKIES

The website may use a cookie or similar browser-storage technology to remember that a visitor has confirmed being of legal drinking age.

This prevents the visitor from having to answer the age-gate question on every page or visit.

The age gate is based on the visitor’s declaration and does not independently verify their identity or date of birth.

Clearing cookies, changing browsers or using another device may cause the age gate to appear again.

6. FUNCTIONAL COOKIES

Functional cookies may help the website remember choices made by visitors.

These may include:

website preferences
display settings
language preferences
previously selected options
accessibility-related preferences

Disabling functional cookies may affect certain website features or preferences.

7. ANALYTICS AND PERFORMANCE COOKIES

Wix or other approved services may use analytics or performance cookies to help us understand:

how visitors reach the website
which pages are visited
how long visitors remain on certain pages
whether technical errors occur
how effectively the website operates
general visitor interaction patterns

This information may be combined or aggregated to help improve the website.

We do not currently knowingly use separate third-party advertising pixels or advanced marketing analytics beyond the services provided through Wix.

This Policy must be updated if tools such as Google Analytics, Meta Pixel or similar services are added.

8. MARKETING AND ADVERTISING COOKIES

We do not currently knowingly use cookies for targeted advertising or behavioural advertising through the MAÍÍZA website.

If advertising, retargeting or social-media tracking tools are added in the future, this Cookie Policy and the website’s consent settings will be updated.

Non-essential cookies should not be treated as necessary for basic website operation. Wix provides tools allowing visitors to accept or decline non-essential cookies.

9. COOKIES USED BY WIX

The MAÍÍZA website is built and hosted using Wix.

Wix may place cookies or use similar technologies for:

security
fraud detection
technical stability
platform performance
website rendering
session management
error detection
visitor preferences
other platform functions

The names, purposes and durations of Wix cookies may change as Wix updates its services.

Wix states that its websites may initially place cookies categorized as essential, while additional Wix features, integrations or third-party applications may introduce other types of cookies.

10. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

Some website features may be provided by third parties.

Third-party services may place cookies when you:

interact with embedded content
follow social-media links
use external website features
access services provided through Wix integrations
visit linked third-party websites

MAÍÍZA Co. does not directly control cookies placed on third-party websites or platforms.

Those cookies are governed by the third party’s own privacy and cookie policies.

11. COOKIE CONSENT BANNER

The website may display a cookie consent banner that allows visitors to:

accept cookies
decline non-essential cookies
choose permitted cookie categories
review or update cookie preferences

Essential cookies may still operate because they are necessary for the website to function.

Wix provides a Privacy and Cookies area through which website owners can display a cookie banner and maintain records of visitors’ consent choices.

12. MANAGING YOUR COOKIE PREFERENCES

You may be able to manage non-essential cookies through the website’s cookie banner or privacy settings.

You may also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Most browsers allow you to:

view stored cookies
delete cookies
block certain cookies
block third-party cookies
receive a warning before cookies are stored
clear website data

Blocking or deleting cookies may affect:

website functionality
remembered preferences
age-gate confirmation
page performance
certain interactive features

13. DO NOT TRACK SETTINGS

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting.

There is not currently one universally accepted technical standard governing how all websites must respond to these signals.

The website may not respond consistently to every Do Not Track signal unless required by applicable law or supported by the website platform.

14. PERSONAL INFORMATION AND COOKIES

Certain cookies or similar technologies may involve information that can identify or be associated with a particular browser or device.

This may include:

IP address
device identifiers
browser information
session identifiers
interaction information
consent preferences

Where cookie-related information constitutes personal information, it will be handled according to the MAÍÍZA Privacy Policy and applicable Canadian privacy law.

Canadian businesses are expected to identify the purposes for collecting personal information and obtain meaningful consent where required.

15. INTERNATIONAL PROCESSING

Because the website is hosted through Wix, cookie-related or technical information may be processed using systems, affiliates or service providers located outside Ontario or Canada.

Information processed in another country may be subject to that country’s laws and lawful access requirements.

16. RETENTION

Cookies may remain on your device for different periods depending on their purpose.

Some cookies expire:

when you close your browser
after a defined number of hours, days or months
when you manually delete them
when the website or Wix replaces or removes them

Consent records or associated technical information may be retained for a reasonable period to demonstrate visitor preferences and support compliance.

17. CHANGES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY

We may update this Cookie Policy when:

the website changes
new Wix features are introduced
new third-party services are added
