Cookie Policy

Last updated: 20 October 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how bonushunters.co.nz ("we", "us" and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you browse our website, and how you can manage your preferences.

We provide informational content about gambling-related services. We do not operate an online casino or handle casino deposits or withdrawals. For details about how personal information is collected, used and shared, please read our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites can store in your browser. They may remember settings, support security features or help measure how people use a site. Some last only until you close your browser (session cookies); others remain for a defined period (persistent cookies).

We may also use similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels and server-side event records. Not every referral identifier or website measurement involves placing a cookie on your device.

What's the difference between first-party and third-party cookies?

First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies come from a different domain, for example when an external service is embedded on a page. A third-party service may also collect information without setting a third-party cookie. Whether a cookie is necessary depends on its purpose, not just who sets it.

Types of Cookies We May Use

The table explains the main purposes for which cookies and similar technologies may be used. The detailed register below identifies the specific tools enabled on this website.

Category Purpose Examples Choice
Strictly necessary Keep the website secure and working Security checks, traffic management, storing cookie choices Required
Preferences Remember optional settings Language, region, display settings, filters Optional
Analytics Understand site usage and improve content Page visits, navigation patterns, errors, performance reports Optional
Advertising and attribution Measure permitted campaigns or referrals, where legally applicable Traffic-source identifiers, advertising measurement, referral reporting Optional; subject to law

A technology is not automatically "strictly necessary" just because it helps fund the website. We do not treat commercial attribution as an essential function merely because it may support our business.

External Links and Referral Tracking

Our articles and comparisons may link to third-party websites. When you leave our website, the destination may use its own cookies, account identifiers and analytics tools. Please review that website's privacy and cookie information before sharing personal details.

Some external links can contain parameters that identify a traffic source or referral. Such parameters are not necessarily cookies. Referral or advertising tracking is used only where applicable law permits it, and any commercial relationships are explained separately in our Advertiser Disclosure.

How can an external link be measured?

  1. Link click: A visitor follows a link from an article or comparison.
  2. Source information: The link or redirect may include a source identifier, where lawful and enabled.
  3. External website: The destination may process the information under its own policy.

This is a general explanation of how link measurement can work. It does not mean that any particular referral arrangement is available or permitted for visitors in New Zealand.

Cookies and Similar Technologies: Detailed Register

The table below identifies the cookies and similar technologies used on this website, their providers, purposes and retention periods. We review and update this information when our website services change.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can continue using most informational pages without optional cookies. Necessary cookies support core functions and cannot be disabled through the website's preference controls. You can review and change your choices through the preferences panel below.

Cookie Preferences

The interactive panel allows visitors to manage preferences for the following categories:

  • Strictly necessary: always enabled.
  • Preferences: optional.
  • Analytics: optional.
  • Advertising and attribution: optional, only where legally permitted and actually enabled.

You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Disabling all cookies may affect saved preferences or other website features. Blocking cookies on our site does not automatically remove cookies already stored by unrelated third-party websites.

Common Questions

Do I need to accept optional cookies to read your content?

No. Most guides and informational pages should remain available without optional analytics or advertising cookies. Some convenience settings may not be remembered.

Does every link to an external website create a cookie?

No. A normal link does not necessarily set a cookie. Some links contain URL parameters, while analytics or attribution may use other methods. What happens on the destination site depends on its own systems and policies.

Can cookies or identifiers count as personal information?

Yes. Depending on context, identifiers combined with an IP address, device details or browsing activity can relate to an identifiable person. Our Privacy Policy explains the handling of personal information.

Does rejecting optional cookies stop tracking on other websites?

No. Your choice here relates to technologies controlled by this website. When you visit an external operator or service, its own settings and policy apply.

Can I change my mind later?

Yes. Reopen the Cookie Preferences section and change your choices. Clearing your browser's storage may also remove a saved preference.

Privacy, Updates and Contact

When cookies or similar technologies involve personal information, we handle that information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law, including relevant requirements of New Zealand's Privacy Act 2020. That policy explains who operates the website, the purposes of collection, possible recipients, international disclosures, retention and your privacy rights.

We may update this Cookie Policy when website technology, third-party providers or legal requirements change. The date above indicates the latest published revision.
