3. Cookies and Tracking

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use the following types of cookies:

Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the website to function correctly. They enable basic features such as page navigation and cannot be disabled without affecting site functionality.

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies collect aggregated, anonymous data about page views, session duration, and traffic sources. This helps us improve our content and identify the most helpful reviews for NZ players.

Affiliate Tracking Cookies

When you click on an affiliate link to a third-party casino site, a tracking cookie may be placed on your device by the affiliate network or casino operator. This cookie allows us to receive commission for referrals. These cookies are set by the third party, not by our website directly.

Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View and delete existing cookies
• Block all or certain types of cookies
• Set preferences for specific websites
• Enable “Do Not Track” signals

Disabling cookies may affect certain features of our website but will not prevent you from accessing our content.

4. Third-Party Links

Our website contains links to third-party websites, including online casino operators. These links are provided for informational and affiliate purposes.

Third-party casino operators may collect personal information including registration details, financial data, and gambling activity. Their data practices are governed by their own privacy policies and the regulations of their licensing jurisdictions, which may differ from New Zealand law.

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the personal information we collect, including:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our website
• Regular security reviews of our hosting infrastructure
• Limited access to personal data on a need-to-know basis
• Secure storage of any contact form submissions

While we take data security seriously, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data, but we are committed to promptly addressing any data breach in accordance with the NZ Privacy Act 2020 notification requirements.

Data Retention

We retain browsing analytics data in aggregated, anonymised form. Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry, after which they are securely deleted. We do not retain personal data longer than is reasonably necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy.

7. Children's Privacy

Our website publishes reviews and information about online gambling, which is restricted to persons aged 18 years and older. We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from anyone under the age of 18.

If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a person under 18, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our records. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can take appropriate action.
