Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them, while session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted when you close your web browser.
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage objects that function in a comparable manner.

Analytical and Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with casoolacasino-nz.com by collecting and reporting information about website usage. All data collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. They allow us to measure and improve the performance of our site.
We use analytical cookies to:
— Track the number of visitors to our website and identify how they arrived (search engines, direct visits, referral links, social media, etc.).

The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is generally transmitted to and stored on Google servers.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies
As an affiliate website, casoolacasino-nz.com partners with online casino operators and advertising networks. Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites and display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user. These cookies are typically placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission.
Marketing and advertising cookies are used to:
— Deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests.
— Limit the number of times you see a specific advertisement.
— Help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
— Track whether you have visited a casino operator's website through one of our affiliate links, which allows us to earn a commission if you register or make a deposit. This is how we fund the free content and reviews on our site.
— Build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content and offers on other websites you visit.
Third-party partners that may set advertising cookies through our site include, but are not limited to, Google Ads, Facebook (Meta), and various affiliate tracking platforms used by casino operators we review. Each of these third parties has its own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.
Affiliate Tracking Cookies
As an affiliate site, we rely on affiliate tracking cookies to identify when a visitor clicks on one of our outbound links to a casino operator's website. These cookies are essential to our business model, as they allow casino operators to attribute referrals to casoolacasino-nz.com and compensate us accordingly.
These cookies typically store:
— A unique identifier that links your visit to our website.
— The date and time of your click on an affiliate link.
— The specific casino or offer you clicked on.
Affiliate tracking cookies are set by the casino operators or their affiliate programme platforms when you click an outbound link. Once you leave casoolacasino-nz.com, the privacy and cookie policies of the respective casino operator will apply. We strongly recommend that you review those policies before registering or depositing funds.
Third-Party Cookies
In addition to the cookies we set directly, third parties may also place cookies on your device when you visit casoolacasino-nz.com. We do not control the setting of these third-party cookies, and their use is governed by the respective third party's own policies.
Third-party cookies on our site may originate from:
— Google (Analytics, Ads, Tag Manager)
— Facebook / Meta (Pixel)
— Affiliate tracking platforms and networks
— Casino operators we review and link to
— Embedded content providers (such as YouTube if we embed video reviews)
We encourage you to visit the websites of these third parties to learn more about their cookies and how to manage them.
Cookie Duration
The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on its type:
— Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
— Persistent cookies remain on your device for a predetermined period, which can range from a few days to several years, or until you delete them manually.
— Affiliate tracking cookies typically last between 30 and 90 days, depending on the specific casino operator's affiliate programme terms.
