Cookie Policy

What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We may also use local/session storage, pixels/tags, and SDKs that collect device and usage information. These technologies may be first-party (set by us) or third-party (set by service providers).

How we use them

• Essential: site security, load balancing, page navigation, preferences, and features you request.
• Analytics: understand site performance and improve content (e.g., aggregated usage statistics).
• Fraud prevention & security: detect abusive activity, protect accounts, and maintain integrity of services.
• Advertising/measurement: measure the effectiveness of campaigns and limit repeated ads; we aim to avoid using advertising cookies unless you opt in where a consent tool is provided.

Cookie categories (examples)

Note: Specific cookies/partners may change as we update our services.

Your choices (consent & opt-out)

Where we provide a cookie banner or settings tool, you can accept, reject, or customise non-essential cookies at any time via Cookie Settings. Essential cookies are required for core site operation.

• Browser controls: you can delete or block cookies via your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect functionality.
• Device controls: some mobile devices allow restricting ad tracking and resetting advertising IDs.
• Advertising opt-outs: you may be able to opt out of interest-based advertising through industry tools (availability varies by region and provider).

Privacy and legal context (New Zealand)

We handle personal information in line with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020. Some cookies/SDKs may involve sharing data with trusted service providers that help us operate, secure, analyse, and measure our services. Cross-border storage/processing may occur depending on provider infrastructure.
