Cookie policy – footytipsnz.com

Reading football betting tips needs little in the way of technology, and the site keeps its use of it small. What follows names the cookies and comparable tools in use, their jobs and the ways of refusing them. Cookies are small text files stored by the browser; local storage, session storage and counting pixels do much the same work and are treated alike.

The legal frame

The Privacy Act 2020 is the law that bites wherever cookies or similar technology collect personal information, and its information privacy principles (section 22) set the standard. Collection serves a lawful purpose linked to the site (IPP 1), and people are told what is collected and why (IPP 3). The information is held under reasonable security safeguards (IPP 5), not kept longer than needed (IPP 9) and sent abroad only as IPP 12 permits. A choice made in the cookie banner may be altered at any moment.

Files the site needs

A few files cannot be dispensed with. They keep a session going, share traffic between servers, shield forms from abuse and store the cookie choice itself, so they are set without asking. Session files end with the browser session; the stored choice stays for twelve months at most.

Settings and statistics

Settings files remember small things, such as the tipster table last opened. Statistics files count page views and show which tips pages are read, so that the writing can improve. These two groups are set only after the banner choice. Addresses are truncated before analysis, and no profile is built across websites.

Outside services

When a video or map from another service is embedded, that service may place files of its own and its privacy rules apply as well; an objection goes to it. footytipsnz.com itself places no advertising cookies for personalised profiles unless the banner choice is clear.

Refusal and withdrawal

The footer link “Cookie settings” allows a choice to be changed or withdrawn, and withdrawal applies from then on. Browsers also let cookies be blocked or deleted from their privacy settings. After necessary files are removed the banner shows again, and a few features might briefly fail.

Complaints

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner receives complaints about the handling of personal information. How this site handles it is set out in the privacy policy.
