Cookie policy – kiwicricketodds

Reading about cricket and other betting topics on kiwicricketodds takes only a small set of technical tools. The notes below describe each cookie and similar technology in use, its purpose, and how a visitor may decline or alter it. A cookie is a small text file stored by the browser; local and session storage entries and tracking pixels behave in much the same way.

What the law requires

Where cookies and comparable tools gather personal information, the Privacy Act 2020 applies, along with its information privacy principles (section 22). Collection has a lawful purpose tied to running the site (IPP 1), and visitors are told what is gathered and why (IPP 3). Reasonable security safeguards protect it (IPP 5), it is retained no longer than needed (IPP 9), and it leaves New Zealand only on the terms of IPP 12. A choice made in the cookie banner can be revisited whenever wanted.

Files the site cannot do without

Some files are needed for dependable operation: they hold a session, balance load across servers, guard forms against abuse and record the cookie choice itself. No separate choice is asked for these. A session file ends when the browser closes, and a saved choice stays for at most twelve months.

Settings and analytics

Functional files recall preferences, for instance the comparison table opened last time. Analytics files count page views and show which pages are read, so the content can be improved. Neither group is set until a choice is made in the banner. IP addresses are shortened for analysis, and no profile following behaviour across sites is built.

Outside services

Embedded content such as videos or maps may set files of its own, in which case the provider’s privacy rules apply as well and any objection goes to that provider. kiwicricketodds sets no advertising cookies for personalised ads without a clear choice in the banner.

Changing or withdrawing consent

The “Cookie settings” link in the footer allows a choice to be changed or withdrawn at any time, and withdrawal works for the future. Browsers also allow cookies to be blocked or deleted in their privacy settings. Once the necessary files are removed the banner returns, and some features may briefly stop working.

Complaints

A complaint about how personal information is handled goes to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner. The privacy policy of this site explains the handling in more detail.
