Cookie policy – kiwiracingbets

A racing and betting information site needs very little technology to run, and kiwiracingbets keeps to that. The sections below name the cookies and comparable tools in use, their purposes and the ways to decline them. A cookie is a small text file saved by the browser; local and session storage entries and counting pixels behave similarly.

Files set without a choice

Some files are needed for the site to function at all. They hold a session open, share traffic between servers, guard forms against misuse and keep the cookie choice itself. Because the site cannot run reliably without them, no separate choice is offered. A session file ends when the browser closes, and a saved choice lasts at most twelve months.

Files set after consent

Two groups need a choice in the banner first. Functional files remember settings, such as which comparison table was open last. Analytics files count page views and show which pages are read, to improve the content. IP addresses are shortened before analysis, and no profile following behaviour across sites is built.

Outside services

An embedded video or map from another provider may set files of its own, and that provider’s privacy rules then apply; objections go to it. Advertising cookies that build profiles for personalised ads are not set by kiwiracingbets without a clear choice in the banner.

The law behind it

Where cookies and similar tools collect personal information, the Privacy Act 2020 applies, with its information privacy principles in section 22. Collection has a lawful purpose connected with the site (IPP 1), and the person is told what is collected and why (IPP 3). Reasonable security safeguards protect the information (IPP 5), it is kept no longer than needed (IPP 9), and disclosure outside New Zealand follows IPP 12.

Declining and withdrawing

The “Cookie settings” link in the footer changes or withdraws the choice at any time, and withdrawal works for the future. Browsers also let their users block and delete cookies in the privacy settings. Deleting the necessary files brings the banner back, and a feature may fail for a short time.

Complaints

A complaint about the handling of personal information goes to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner. How such information is handled in general is described in the privacy policy of this site.
