Cookie policy – Nzhoopsbets
Cookies are small text files that a browser keeps on a device, and Nzhoopsbets uses only a few of them, along with comparable tools such as local and session storage entries and counting pixels. Below is what runs on this basketball betting guide, for what purpose, and how a visitor can refuse or change it.
Which law applies
Where cookies and similar tools collect personal information, the Privacy Act 2020 governs through its information privacy principles (section 22). Collection must have a lawful purpose tied to running the site (IPP 1), and people are told what is collected and why (IPP 3). The information is guarded by reasonable security safeguards (IPP 5), is not kept longer than needed (IPP 9) and goes outside New Zealand only under IPP 12. A banner choice can be changed at any time.
Essential files
Without these files the site would not run dependably. They hold a session open, balance load between servers, protect forms from abuse and store the banner choice. No separate choice is asked for. Session files expire when the browser closes; the stored choice is kept for up to twelve months.
Settings and audience measurement
Settings files remember things like the odds table opened last. Audience files count page views and show which pages are read, to improve content. Both groups wait until the banner has been answered. Analysis uses shortened IP addresses, and behaviour is not profiled across sites.
Files set by outside services
An embedded video or map can set files of its own, in which case that provider’s privacy rules also apply and objections go to that provider. Nzhoopsbets sets no advertising cookies for personalised ads unless the banner choice is clear.
Changing a choice
A choice can be changed or withdrawn at any time with the "Cookie settings" link in the footer, and withdrawal works for the future. Browsers separately allow blocking and deleting cookies in their privacy settings. Deleting the necessary files brings the banner back and may disturb some features for a short time.
Complaints
Complaints about handling of personal information go to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner. More on that handling is in the privacy policy of this site.
