Cookie & Tracking Policy

1) What cookies and similar tech are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We also use similar technologies (local storage, pixels/tags, SDKs) to help the site work, measure performance, and understand usage.

2) What we use them for

• Strictly necessary: security, load balancing, essential preferences and functions. These are required for the site to operate.
• Performance/analytics: aggregate statistics (e.g., pages viewed, session duration, error rates) to improve the site.
• Functionality: remember non-essential settings (where available).
• Advertising/measurement: measure the effectiveness of marketing and attribute visits to campaigns (where used). We do not sell personal information.

3) Third-party providers

Some cookies/tags may be set by third parties that provide analytics, crash reporting, hosting, or marketing measurement. These providers may process identifiers (e.g., cookie IDs, device IDs, IP address, approximate location derived from IP) under their own policies.

4) Your choices and how to manage cookies

• Cookie preferences: if we provide a “Cookie Preferences” link on the site, you can use it to accept, reject, or change optional categories.
• Browser controls: you can block or delete cookies via your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may impact site functionality.
• Device settings: on mobile devices you can often limit ad tracking in your OS privacy settings.
• Analytics opt-outs: some providers offer opt-out tools (for example, an analytics opt-out browser add-on).

5) Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers send a Do Not Track signal. Because there is no consistent industry standard for interpreting DNT, we may not respond to DNT signals in a uniform way. You can still use the controls described above.

6) Privacy and New Zealand

We handle personal information in accordance with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020. Cookies and identifiers may be personal information where they can reasonably identify you. For more detail about how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information, refer to our Privacy Policy.
