1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your language preference or consent choices — so you do not have to re-enter it each time.

2. Legal Framework

We respect your privacy under New Zealand’s Privacy Act 2020. Non-essential cookies and similar technologies that collect personal information are used only after you give a clear choice through our consent banner. See also our Privacy Policy.

3. How We Use Cookies

Strictly Necessary

Required for basic operation. These store your cookie consent choices in localStorage so the banner does not reappear unnecessarily. They cannot be disabled.

Analytics (optional)

With your consent, analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) help us understand aggregated traffic patterns. Scripts are loaded only after you accept analytics cookies. Retention: up to 26 months in anonymised form.

Marketing (optional)

With your consent, marketing tags (such as Google Ads conversion or remarketing pixels) may measure ad performance. Scripts load only after you accept marketing cookies. Retention: typically up to 90 days–12 months depending on the provider.

4. Cookie Inventory

  • cookie-consent (localStorage) — your consent record — until cleared — strictly necessary
  • _ga / _gid (Google) — analytics — up to 26 months — analytics, consent required
  • _gcl_* (Google Ads) — conversion measurement — up to 90 days — marketing, consent required

If you decline optional cookies, those third-party scripts are not activated on your visit.

5. Managing Your Preferences

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" button in the consent banner. You may also clear cookies via your browser settings — please consult your browser's help documentation for guidance.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Third-party providers (for example Google) set cookies when their tools are enabled. Their privacy policies govern further use. Review Google’s Privacy Policy if you use Google services.
