What Are Cookies and Why Do We Use Them
When you visit MaxiSpin Casino at https://maxispin-casino-nz.com/, small text files called cookies are placed on your device. These files allow our website to remember your preferences, keep your session active, and deliver a smoother experience each time you return.
Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot carry viruses. They simply store short pieces of information that help us recognise your browser and understand how you interact with our platform. Without certain cookies, core features of the casino, including login sessions and game loading, would not function properly.
Our use of cookies is guided by the Privacy Act 2020 (New Zealand), which requires us to be transparent about how we collect and process personal data. If a cookie can be linked to an identifiable individual, it is treated as personal information under that Act and handled accordingly.
Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to operate. They manage your login state, protect against cross-site request forgery, and ensure that game sessions run without interruption. Because they are required for the site to function, they cannot be disabled through our cookie settings panel.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect anonymous data about how visitors use MaxiSpin Casino, such as which pages are visited most often and whether any error messages are received. The information gathered helps us improve site performance and fix problems quickly. Data collected through analytics cookies is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, currency display, or the last game category you browsed. They allow us to personalise your visit without requiring you to reset your preferences on every return.
Targeting and Marketing Cookies
With your consent, we may place cookies that record your browsing activity across our site and, in some cases, across third-party partner sites. These cookies help us show you promotions and offers that are relevant to your interests rather than generic advertising. They also help us measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
Third-Party Cookies
Certain features on our platform, including live chat support, payment processing widgets, and embedded content, are provided by third-party services. These providers may set their own cookies on your device when you interact with those features. We do not control those cookies directly, and you should review the privacy and cookie policies of those providers for full details.
Cookies and Responsible Gambling
New Zealand law and best practice in the gaming industry require operators to take active steps to protect players. Some cookies on our platform directly support responsible gambling tools. Specifically, we use session cookies to track the duration of your current visit and functional cookies to store any self-exclusion settings, deposit limits, or session reminders you have activated in your account.
If you clear your cookies manually, some of these protective settings may be temporarily affected before they are re-loaded from your account record. We recommend logging back in immediately after clearing your browser data to confirm that your responsible gambling preferences are still active.
Cookie Lifespan
Cookies fall into two categories based on how long they remain on your device:
- Session cookies exist only for the duration of your visit and are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period after you leave the site. The lifespan varies depending on the purpose of the cookie, ranging from 30 days for certain analytics cookies to up to 12 months for preference and marketing cookies.
You can view and manage persistent cookies at any time through your browser settings.
Your Choices and Cookie Consent
When you first visit MaxiSpin Casino, a consent banner will give you the option to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences by category. Your selection is saved so you do not need to make the same choice on every visit, though you are free to change your preferences at any time.
Under the Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to know what personal information is being collected, to request access to that information, and to ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate. Withdrawing consent for non-essential cookies will not affect data that was collected while consent was previously given.
Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
All major browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings menus. The steps vary by browser, but you can typically find cookie controls under Privacy or Security settings. Below are direct links to guidance for the most commonly used browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions
Please be aware that blocking all cookies will prevent some parts of MaxiSpin Casino from working as intended, including the ability to stay logged in during a gaming session.
Opting Out of Analytics
If we use Google Analytics to understand site traffic, you can prevent your data from being included by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Data Security and Retention
Any personal information collected through cookies is stored securely and is only accessed by authorised personnel. We do not sell data derived from cookies to third parties. Retention periods are limited to what is necessary for the stated purpose of each cookie category, after which the data is deleted or anonymised.
MaxiSpin Casino uses Secure (HTTPS) connections across the entire site, which means cookie data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted in transit.
Children and Cookie Data
MaxiSpin Casino is an adults-only platform. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has accessed our site and cookies have been set on their device, please contact us immediately so we can take appropriate action.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our business practices. When we make material changes, we will display a revised notice on the cookie consent banner so that returning visitors are aware of the update. Continued use of MaxiSpin Casino after changes have been published constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
