What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences and understand how you interact with its pages. Cookies are widely used across the internet.

Where a cookie or similar technology can identify you, the information may be personal information for the purposes of the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020. Our overall approach to personal information (including rights of access and correction) is described in our Privacy Policy.

How we use cookies

We use cookies in the following categories:

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function. They enable core features such as session management and remembering your cookie consent choices. These cookies cannot be disabled, as the site would not function correctly without them. No personal data is shared with third parties through these cookies.

Analytics cookies

With your consent, we use analytics cookies to collect aggregated, anonymous information about how visitors use our site — such as which pages are visited most often and how people navigate between pages. This helps us improve the site's structure and content. We do not use this data to identify individual visitors.

Marketing cookies

With your consent, we may use marketing cookies to understand browsing patterns and, where applicable, measure or deliver advertising (including through advertising platforms). These cookies may be set by third-party services such as advertising or analytics partners. You can withdraw consent at any time using the cookie settings panel. If you decline marketing cookies, optional advertising tags should not load on your device from this site.

Local storage and similar technologies

We store your cookie preference choices in your browser using local storage (not a third-party server) so the banner does not reappear on every visit. That storage is necessary to respect your choices and is tied to this browser only.

Managing your cookie preferences

When you first visit our site, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept all cookies, decline optional cookies, or customise your preferences through Cookie Settings. Strictly necessary cookies are always active. Your choices are saved in your browser's local storage on your device.

To change your choices later, open Cookie Settings from the banner when it is visible. If the banner is hidden because a choice was already saved, you can reset it by deleting this site's stored data (including local storage) in your browser's site settings for our website, then reloading the page — the banner will appear again. You may also control cookies through your browser settings; blocking some cookies may affect functionality.

Third-party cookies

If analytics or marketing services are enabled, third-party providers may set their own cookies. These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.

Retention periods

Strictly necessary cookies are session-based or persist for up to 12 months. Analytics cookies are retained for up to 26 months. Marketing cookies vary by provider but are typically retained for up to 13 months.
