Cookie Policy

This policy explains how bestonlinepokies.nz uses cookies and similar technologies. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers personal information more broadly.

What Cookies Are

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser when you visit. It lets the site remember things between pages and between visits — for example, that you've already dismissed a notice, or that you arrived from a particular link. Cookies can't run programs or carry viruses, and most simply hold a short identifier rather than anything about you personally. Some are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies) while others stay for a set period (persistent cookies).

The Types We Use

Essential cookies

These make the site function — handling basic navigation, security and remembering settings like whether you've accepted this notice. The site can't work properly without them, so they can't be switched off from within the site itself.

Analytics cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the site — which reviews and guides are read, how people arrive, and where they run into problems. This data is aggregated and helps us improve our content. It tells us about patterns across all visitors, not about you as an identifiable individual.

Affiliate cookies

When you click a link to a casino, an affiliate cookie may be set so the operator's network can recognise that the visit came from us and credit any resulting sign-up. This is how we earn commission without charging you anything. These cookies record the referral, not your gameplay or account activity.

Managing Cookies

You are always in control. Every major browser lets you view, block or delete cookies through its settings — usually under "Privacy" or "Security". You can choose to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or clear cookies when you close the browser. Bear in mind that blocking essential cookies may stop parts of this site from working as intended. Browser help pages explain the exact steps for Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge.

Consent

By continuing to use bestonlinepokies.nz, you consent to our use of cookies as described here. Where we're required to, we'll ask for your agreement to non-essential cookies before setting them, and you can withdraw that consent at any time by clearing cookies and adjusting your browser settings. We may update this policy as our tools change; the "last updated" date above shows the current version.
