How we use cookies and similar technologies on Kiwi Play Lounge.
Effective Date: 31 March 2026
Last Updated: 31 March 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Kiwi Play Lounge ("we", "us", "our") uses them on our website at kiwiplaylounge.com (the "Site"), what types of cookies we set, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further detail on how we handle personal information.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply site owners with information about how visitors interact with their site. Cookies can be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them.
Kiwi Play Lounge uses a minimal number of cookies. We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or cross-site tracking. The cookies we use fall into the following categories:
These cookies are necessary for the basic functionality of the Site. Without them, certain features would not work properly. Essential cookies we use include:
Essential cookies cannot be disabled without impairing the core functionality of the Site.
These cookies enhance your experience by remembering preferences and settings. On Kiwi Play Lounge, functional cookies may be used to remember game state information (such as virtual lounge point balances) during a browsing session. These cookies do not track your activity across other websites and do not contain personal information.
We may use analytics cookies to collect aggregated, anonymised data about how visitors use the Site — such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on a page, and what devices or browsers are used. This data helps us improve the performance, content, and layout of the Site. Analytics data is processed in aggregate and is not used to identify individual visitors.
If we use a third-party analytics service, we configure it to anonymise IP addresses and disable cross-site tracking features. We do not share analytics data with any third party for their own purposes.
Kiwi Play Lounge does not use third-party advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or retargeting technologies. We do not embed third-party content (such as social media widgets or external video players) that would set cookies on your device. Our Site is designed to be clean, lightweight, and free from invasive tracking technologies.
When you click on external links to sites such as the NZ Gambling Helpline or Choice Not Chance, those sites may set their own cookies. We have no control over third-party cookies and encourage you to review the cookie policies of any external sites you visit.
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, set preferences for specific websites, or browse in "private" or "incognito" mode which typically deletes cookies when the browser window is closed. Below are links to cookie management instructions for common browsers:
Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect your experience on the Site. For example, if you clear the cookie consent preference stored in localStorage, the cookie banner will appear again on your next visit.
In addition to traditional cookies, Kiwi Play Lounge may use browser localStorage and sessionStorage to store small amounts of non-personal data, such as your cookie consent preference and in-game state (virtual lounge point balance). Like cookies, this data is stored locally on your device and can be cleared through your browser settings. We do not use local storage or session storage to track users, store personal information, or enable third-party tracking.
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to websites. As Kiwi Play Lounge does not engage in cross-site tracking or use advertising cookies, our site inherently respects DNT signals. Whether or not your browser sends a DNT header, your experience on our Site will be the same — private, minimal, and free from invasive tracking.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Cookie Policy.
