Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how grandcasinodunedin.nz (we, us, our) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It is intended for users in New Zealand and should be read together with any other notices we provide, including our privacy and website terms. By continuing to browse or use our site after seeing a cookie notice, you consent to the placement and use of cookies as described in this Policy, unless you have adjusted your settings to refuse them.

We are committed to complying with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and the Information Privacy Principles. Cookies can involve the handling of personal information, such as online identifiers and IP addresses. This Policy describes what cookies are, how we use them, how you can manage your choices, and the limited circumstances in which we may share information collected via cookies.

What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small data files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They can be “session” cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (which remain until they expire or you delete them). Cookies may be placed by us (first-party cookies) or by other parties providing services to us (third-party cookies).

We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, and device identifiers. These technologies help us recognise your device, remember your preferences, provide essential website features, measure performance, and deliver content that is more relevant to your interests.

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required to operate the site and enable core functions such as page navigation, secure login areas, and fraud prevention. The site cannot function properly without these cookies.
  • Functional Cookies: Enable enhanced features and personalisation, such as remembering your settings (for example, language and region) and maintaining your preferences across visits.
  • Performance and Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our site, which pages are most popular, and how we can improve content and navigation. Information is typically aggregated and used to generate statistics about site usage.
  • Advertising and Personalisation Cookies: Used to deliver and measure advertisements and tailor content to your interests. These may also limit how often you see an ad and help evaluate campaign effectiveness.
  • Security and Fraud Prevention Technologies: Assist in detecting, preventing, and responding to security incidents and misuse, including validating traffic and ensuring a safe experience.
  • Local Storage and Similar Tools: Used to cache settings and content for quicker loading and an improved user experience, especially on repeat visits.

Some cookies collect data that may be considered personal information under New Zealand law, such as online identifiers, IP address, device type, browser type, and general location. We use reasonable safeguards to protect this information and limit its use to the purposes outlined in this Policy.

How We Use Cookie Data

We use cookies to operate and improve our website, remember your preferences, maintain session integrity, and deliver content that aligns with your interests. Cookies allow us to provide a consistent, secure browsing experience and to troubleshoot issues quickly.

We also use cookies to analyse site performance, understand visitor interactions (such as time on page, clicks, and navigation paths), and generate statistics that help us enhance the content and layout of our pages. Where advertising cookies are used, they support interest-based content and assist with measuring the effectiveness of our promotions.

Where required, we rely on your consent for setting non-essential cookies. In some cases, we rely on our legitimate interests to run and secure the site, provided this does not unreasonably impact your rights and interests. You can withdraw or modify your consent at any time using the controls described below.

Your Choices and How to Manage Cookies

You have control over how cookies are used. When you first visit our website, you may see a notice explaining that we use cookies and providing options to accept, reject, or customise non-essential cookies. You can change your choices at any time through your browser or device settings.

  • Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Most browsers allow you to refuse all or some cookies and to delete cookies already set on your device.
  • Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is placed so you can choose whether to accept it.
  • Manage local storage and similar technologies through your browser or device privacy controls.
  • If available on our site, use the cookie preferences tool to adjust your settings for analytics and advertising cookies.
  • Consider using private or incognito modes to limit persistent storage of certain data for the duration of your session.

Disabling or rejecting certain cookies may affect the functionality of the site, including access to secure areas or the ability to save your preferences. Essential cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie preference tools because they are necessary for the site to function.

Data Sharing, International Transfers, and Security

We may share information collected via cookies with our service providers who assist with hosting, security, analytics, advertising, and website operations. These providers are required to handle data in accordance with appropriate confidentiality and security obligations and to use it only on our instructions. Because the internet is global, information may be processed in countries outside New Zealand. When this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure that the recipient provides comparable safeguards to those required under New Zealand law, including through contractual protections.

We retain cookie data for only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, after which it is deleted or de-identified. We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information collected via cookies from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our site may link to other websites; those websites have their own privacy and cookie practices, and we are not responsible for their content or policies.

We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices.

To the maximum extent permitted by New Zealand law, our website and cookies are provided “as is,” and we do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation. We are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from or related to the use of cookies or this site, except to the extent liability cannot be excluded under New Zealand law. This Policy is governed by the laws of New Zealand.

You have rights to request access to and correction of personal information that we hold about you, including information collected via cookies.
