Cookie Policy

This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how we use them in line with the Privacy Act 2020 (New Zealand), and your choices.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser until they expire or you delete them. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.

2. How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies

Information collected through cookies and similar technologies may be personal information under New Zealand law (for example, if it can identify you or be linked to you). We use these technologies only for lawful purposes described here and in our Privacy Policy.

We use cookies and similar storage for:

  • Ensuring the website functions correctly
  • Remembering your preferences (including cookie choices)
  • Where you consent, understanding how visitors use our website or measuring advertising effectiveness

Current implementation: This site stores your cookie consent preferences in your browser (local storage). Third-party analytics or advertising scripts are only loaded if we add them and you have consented to the relevant category—so optional categories may not place any extra cookies until those tools are used.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt out of these cookies as the website cannot function properly without them.

Cookie Name Purpose Duration
cookieConsent Stores your cookie consent preferences 12 months

3.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website (for example, pages viewed and approximate location). They may be first-party or third-party. Analytics cookies are only used if you consent via the banner or settings.

If we use Google Analytics or similar services, their providers’ terms and privacy notices also apply; we configure such tools to minimise personal data where possible.

3.3 Marketing Cookies

These cookies may be set by advertising partners (for example, when measuring Google Ads conversions or remarketing). They may be used to show relevant ads or measure campaign performance.

Marketing cookies are only used if you consent. You can change your mind at any time via your browser or our cookie controls.

  • Accept All: Accept all categories of cookies
  • Reject: Reject all optional cookies (only strictly necessary cookies will be used)
  • Cookie Settings: Choose which categories of cookies to accept

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser's cookies and revisiting our website.
