Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Vegas Hunter Casino New Zealand (“Vegas Hunter Casino”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website and related services for New Zealand players. By visiting, browsing, or using any service offered through our website, you agree that we may store and access cookies as described in this policy and in our Privacy Policy.

We encourage you to read this Cookie Policy carefully so you know what data is collected through cookies, how that data is used, and how you can control your cookie settings at any time.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, mobile phone, or tablet when you visit a website. Each cookie is unique to your browser. It allows the website to recognise your device and remember information about your visit, such as your language choice, login status, or activity on the site.

Cookies may be set directly by us (first-party cookies) or by third parties that provide services to us (third-party cookies). Cookies can also be grouped by how long they remain on your device:

Session cookies – temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies – cookies that remain on your device for a set time or until you remove them.

2. Why We Use Cookies

Vegas Hunter Casino uses cookies to deliver a safe, secure, and reliable online gaming experience for New Zealand customers. Cookies help us run our platform, protect your account, remember your choices, and improve our services. We do not use cookies to spy on you or to read any data from your device that is not linked to our website.

We use cookies for the following main reasons:

To keep our website secure and stable.
To allow you to log in, stay logged in, and use your account.
To remember your settings and preferences.
To understand how our visitors use our services so we can improve them.
To show relevant content and promotions that match your profile and activity.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies, each serving a different purpose. Some cookies are essential for the site to operate, while others help us improve performance or personalise your experience.

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of the Vegas Hunter Casino website and services. Without them, the site would not function properly. They do not store any information that can be used to market products or track your activity on other websites.

Enable basic site functions, such as page loading and navigation.
Allow you to access secure areas, such as the cashier and your account profile.
Support security features, such as fraud checks and account protection.
Manage your session when you log in, place bets, or play casino games.

Because these cookies are vital for the website to function, you cannot switch them off through our site-level cookie tools. You may block them in your browser, but key parts of our services may stop working.

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website. They provide anonymous or aggregated statistics that show how many people visit our pages, how long they stay, which areas are used most, and whether there are error messages.

Measure traffic and usage patterns across our pages.
Help us test new features and layouts.
Identify slow or broken parts of the site.
Improve navigation, game lobbies, and support content for New Zealand players.

We may use third-party analytics tools, such as Google Analytics or similar services, which use their own cookies to collect this data. These providers act as separate data controllers in some cases and may process information in line with their own privacy policies.

3.3 Functionality Cookies

Functionality cookies remember choices you make so your experience feels more personal and convenient. They help us provide features that are more closely aligned with your preferences.

Remember your language and region settings (for example, New Zealand English or NZD currency where supported).
Store your cookie consent choices.
Recall display preferences, such as layout or game view.
Keep track of whether we have already shown you certain messages or guides.

If you disable these cookies, some features may not function as intended, and you may need to set your preferences each time you visit the site.

3.4 Targeting, Marketing, and Personalisation Cookies

We may use targeting and marketing cookies to deliver content and offers that are more relevant to your interests as a Vegas Hunter Casino player. These cookies can be set by us or by our marketing partners.

Show personalised promotions based on your activity, such as bonus offers, tournaments, or VIP invitations.
Limit how often you see the same advertisement or banner.
Measure the performance of promotional campaigns.
Allow our partners to understand that you visited our site, so they can measure conversions and improve their services.

Targeting cookies may collect information such as your IP address, device type, browser, approximate location, referral source, and details about your interactions with our content. We keep this data in line with our Privacy Policy and relevant New Zealand privacy rules.

3.5 Security and Fraud-Prevention Cookies

Security cookies help us protect your account, our platform, and our licence obligations. They often work together with our internal security systems to detect suspicious patterns and maintain a safe environment.

Help detect unusual behaviour that could signal fraud, bonus abuse, or unauthorised access.
Support identity checks and KYC processes.
Assist in complying with legal and regulatory duties, including responsible gambling standards.

These cookies are closely linked to our duty to provide a secure and fair gambling service to players located in or accessing our services from New Zealand.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Besides standard cookies, we may also use other technologies that serve similar purposes. These tools can function in much the same way as cookies, helping us understand how you use our site, keep your session active, and show content that suits you.

Local storage and session storage – data stored directly in your browser for a set period or until you clear it.
Tracking pixels and beacons – tiny graphic files that load when you open an email or a webpage, allowing us to see whether you opened a message or viewed a certain page.
Software development kits (SDKs) – mobile tools built into our apps that collect technical information to support analytics, advertising, security, and app performance.

For the purpose of this Cookie Policy, we refer to these technologies together as “cookies”, unless we need to explain them separately.

5. Cookies and Personal Data

Some cookies collect data that can be linked, directly or indirectly, to you as a person. This may include your IP address, account ID, device ID, or activity data. When cookies collect personal data, we handle that data as described in our Privacy Policy and in accordance with applicable New Zealand privacy legislation where relevant.

We use technical and organisational safeguards to help protect this data, including encrypted connections, access controls, and monitoring systems. Only authorised staff and service providers have access to such information, and they must handle it confidentially.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies placed on your device may come from third parties that work with Vegas Hunter Casino. These third parties help us run our services, provide game content, process payments, deliver marketing, or collect traffic statistics.

Third-party cookies may include, for example:

Analytics providers that track site visits and performance.
Advertising networks and affiliate partners that show banners and promotions.
Social media platforms that allow sharing or account linking.
Game providers whose content you access through our site.

These third parties may set their own cookies and may collect information about your usage across different sites and services. We do not control their cookies directly. We encourage you to review their own cookie and privacy policies for more detail on how they process your data.

7. Examples of Cookies We May Use

The exact cookies used can change over time as we improve our services and add new tools. The table below shows common categories and sample purposes:

Cookie Type	Purpose	Typical Lifespan
Session ID cookie	Tracks your login session so you can stay logged in and place bets securely.	Ends when you close your browser.
Security token cookie	Helps prevent fraud and protects against unauthorised access or activity.	From a few minutes to several hours.
Language preference cookie	Remembers your language and regional choices for future visits.	Up to several months.
Analytics cookie	Collects anonymous data about pages visited, time on site, and clicks.	From a single session to two years, depending on the provider.
Marketing cookie	Shows relevant promotions, tracks campaign performance, and limits repeat ads.	From several days to several months.
Cookie consent cookie	Stores your cookie choices so we can honour your preferences.	Up to one year.

8. How You Can Manage or Disable Cookies

You have several options for managing cookies used by Vegas Hunter Casino. Keep in mind that blocking some cookies may limit the functions of our site, reduce performance, or affect your ability to play certain games, fund your account, or access features.

Where available, our site may offer a cookie banner or settings panel that lets you:

Accept all cookies.
Reject non-essential cookies.
Adjust your choices by cookie category (for example, enable analytics but disable marketing).

You may change your cookie settings at any time. If you delete or block our consent cookie, we may ask for your choices again on your next visit.

8.2 Browser Settings

Most modern browsers let you control cookies at any time. You can normally:

Block all cookies.
Block third-party cookies only.
Delete existing cookies from your device.
Set rules for each website you visit.

Steps differ across browsers. You can usually find these controls in the “Settings” or “Preferences” menu, under “Privacy” or “Security”. Remember that if you block or delete cookies, some parts of our site may not work, or you may need to log in again and re-enter details more often.

8.3 Opting Out of Analytics and Marketing

Some analytics and marketing providers offer their own tools for opting out. For example, certain analytics services allow you to install a browser add-on that blocks data collection. Advertising networks may let you opt out of interest-based ads through industry-wide tools.

Because providers and tools change over time, we recommend that you check the privacy and help pages of the tools or networks you use for up-to-date guidance.

9. Cookies in Our Mobile Apps

If you install and use our mobile apps on Android or iOS devices, we may use app-specific tracking technologies, such as mobile identifiers, SDKs, and device analytics tools. These work in a similar way to cookies and allow us to:

Keep your session active and secure while you are logged in.
Monitor app performance, crashes, and technical issues.
Measure how features are used so we can improve them for New Zealand players.
Show relevant in-app messages and promotions.

You can often control some of these tools through your device settings by limiting ad tracking, resetting your advertising ID, or adjusting app permissions. The exact steps depend on your device model and operating system version.

10. Cookies, Responsible Gambling, and Security

As a real-money online casino, we have strong obligations to support responsible gambling practices and to keep your account safe. Cookies play a role in both of these areas.

We may use cookies to support tools such as reality checks, session reminders, and time limits you set for your gameplay.
Security cookies help us track logins and detect attempts to access your account from unusual locations or devices.
Fraud-prevention cookies and related data support our duty to prevent money laundering, bonus abuse, and underage play.

Any use of cookies in this context follows our legal duties and our commitment to a fair and safe environment for New Zealand players who meet the minimum age requirement.

11. Cookies and Third-Party Content

Some parts of our site may include links, iframes, or integrated content from other providers, such as game studios, payment providers, and social networks. These parties may use their own cookies and trackers, which operate under their own rules.

When you click a link to an external website or interact with third-party content, that provider may place cookies or collect data as described in their own policies. We are not responsible for how these third parties handle cookies or data, and we recommend that you read their privacy and cookie statements carefully.

12. Data Retention Linked to Cookies

We only keep data collected through cookies for as long as needed for the purposes set out in this Cookie Policy or in our Privacy Policy. Retention periods can vary depending on the type of cookie and the information collected.

Session data is usually removed automatically when you close your browser or log out.
Analytics data may be stored for longer to identify trends and long-term changes in usage.
Security and fraud-related data may be kept longer where required by law or for the defence of legal claims.

Once data is no longer required, we will delete it or anonymise it in a secure manner.

13. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Depending on the category of cookie, we rely on different grounds under data protection rules:

Legitimate interest – for cookies that are essential to provide our services, protect security, and support operational needs, we rely on our legitimate interest in running a secure and efficient online casino.
Consent – for cookies used for analytics, marketing, or advanced personalisation that are not strictly necessary, we rely on your consent, which you may give or withdraw at any time.

Where consent is required, we will present a clear prompt, such as a cookie banner, allowing you to confirm or adjust your choice.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, in applicable laws, in the technologies we use, or in the partners we work with. Updated versions will be posted on our website with a revised “last updated” date.

Any significant changes that affect how we use cookies or your rights as a Vegas Hunter Casino customer may be brought to your attention through a notice on the website or by direct communication where appropriate. We encourage you to review this page regularly to stay informed about how we use cookies.
