1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and server-side tags. These technologies may collect personal information such as IP addresses, device identifiers, and browsing behaviour.
2. Legal Framework in New Zealand
New Zealand does not have a separate cookie law equivalent to the EU ePrivacy Directive. Instead, cookie-related collection is governed by the Privacy Act 2020 and its Information Privacy Principles (IPPs), particularly:
- IPP 1: We collect cookie data only for lawful purposes connected with our functions.
- IPP 3 / 3A: We inform you about collection through this policy, our privacy statement, and the cookie banner.
- IPP 3 (choice): Non-essential cookies are not placed unless you consent through our banner.
- IPP 11 and 12: Disclosures to third-party analytics or advertising providers are described below, including potential overseas processing.
Where marketing cookies are used to support direct electronic marketing, we also comply with the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007 by obtaining appropriate consent before sending commercial messages.
3. How We Use Cookies
When you first visit our website, a cookie banner gives you a genuine choice to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise categories. Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the site cannot function without them.

Depending on your choices and browser settings, cookie data may include IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, referral source, and pseudonymous identifiers. We use this information only for the purposes described in this policy and our privacy statement.

7. Third-Party Cookies
Third-party providers may set cookies when you interact with embedded content or when you consent to analytics/marketing categories. We do not control third-party cookies directly. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of relevant providers, such as Google (policies.google.com/privacy).
8. Retention
