Cookie Policy

Who we are

HellSpin New Zealand is an independent information and affiliate website.

Website: this website's address

If you follow a link to an external operator, subsequent cookies and tracking technologies are subject to that operator's policies.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on a user's device. Similar technologies may include pixels, local storage, session storage, tags, SDKs, scripts and technical identifiers.

These technologies may help maintain sessions, remember preferences, protect the website, measure website use or attribute a click to an affiliate programme.

Legal basis for cookies

Essential cookies may be used where they are required to operate the website or provide a function expressly requested by the user.

Non-essential analytics, marketing or affiliate cookies are used on the basis of consent where required by law. In New Zealand, personal information collected through these technologies is subject to the Privacy Act 2020 where applicable. GDPR, telecommunications and ePrivacy requirements apply only where their own territorial and material scope is met; they are not automatically New Zealand requirements.

Types of cookies we may use

We may use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies:

• Essential cookies - security, remembering consent, website stability and basic technical functions;
• Preference cookies - language, region, display settings or other user choices;
• Analytics cookies - page views, clicks, session duration, user journeys, errors and overall content performance;
• Affiliate cookies - identifying affiliate-link clicks, campaigns, traffic sources and commission attribution;
• Security cookies - detecting bots, spam, abuse, suspicious patterns and technical problems.

Some technologies may be session-based and others persistent. Retention depends on the cookie's function and the provider's settings.

Cookie consent

Where consent is required, users may accept, reject or customise selected cookie categories. Refusing optional cookies should not prevent access to the website's basic content.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Changing cookie settings

Users may manage cookies in their browser settings, delete stored files, block selected categories or enable cookie notifications.

Restricting cookies may affect certain functions, such as remembering consent, website stability, language preferences or affiliate-click measurement.

Third-party cookies

This website may use external tools, such as hosting, CDNs, analytics, a cookie consent system, security services, email, contact forms, affiliate networks or tracking partners.

Third parties may set their own cookies or similar technologies under their policies. When users visit an external casino operator, bookmaker or affiliate website, that operator's documents apply.

HellSpin New Zealand does not control cookies used by external websites after users leave our website.

Retention period

Session cookies usually expire when the browser closes. Persistent cookies may remain on a device for a specified period or until the user deletes them.

Consent cookies may be stored for as long as needed to document the user's choice. Analytics or affiliate cookies may be retained according to the tool's settings and the affiliate programme's rules.

Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when the technologies, providers, legal requirements or operation of this website change.

The current version will be available on this page with its last updated date.
