Purpose and Functionality
Our use of cookies serves multiple purposes essential for operating a secure and user-friendly online gaming platform. These technologies enable us to maintain session continuity during your gaming sessions, ensuring that your progress and account status are preserved as you navigate between different games and sections of our website.
Cookies facilitate the processing of deposits and withdrawals, maintaining the security of financial transactions and ensuring compliance with New Zealand's anti-money laundering regulations. They also help us provide responsible gambling features, including session time tracking, spending limits, and cooling-off periods that are mandated by New Zealand gaming regulations.
Additionally, cookies enable us to offer personalised game recommendations based on your preferences and playing history, while also ensuring that promotional offers and bonuses are accurately applied to your account. They support our customer service functions by providing context about your recent activities when you contact our support team.
Third-Party Cookies
Our platform may include cookies set by third-party service providers who assist us in delivering our gaming services. These partners include payment processors, game developers, customer support platforms, and analytics providers who help us maintain and improve our services.
Third-party cookies may be placed by companies that provide games on our platform, ensuring proper game functionality and maintaining fairness in gameplay. Payment service providers use cookies to facilitate secure transactions and comply with financial regulations applicable in New Zealand.
We carefully select our third-party partners and require them to maintain privacy and security standards consistent with New Zealand law. However, we recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these third parties to understand their specific data handling practices, as their use of cookies is governed by their own policies rather than ours.
Cookie Duration and Storage
The cookies we use have varying lifespans depending on their purpose and functionality. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device for predetermined periods or until you manually delete them.
Essential security cookies may remain active for extended periods to maintain account protection and comply with regulatory requirements for transaction monitoring. Preference cookies typically last for several months to ensure your customised settings are maintained across multiple visits to our platform.
Promotional and targeting cookies generally have shorter lifespans and are regularly updated to ensure relevance. We periodically review and update cookie expiration dates to balance functionality requirements with privacy considerations, ensuring we retain information only as long as necessary for legitimate gaming operations.
