Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that websites can use to remember information about you between sessions. They are a standard part of how the internet works and can be used for many purposes, including authentication, preferences, analytics, and advertising. Browsers typically allow websites to set cookies, and you can control cookie settings through your browser preferences.

How We Use Local Storage

OceanKiwiPlay primarily relies on browser localStorage rather than traditional cookies. localStorage is similar to cookies but persists indefinitely until manually cleared and can store more data. We use localStorage to provide a seamless experience across visits to our platform. Specifically, we store:

• Age Confirmation: Your confirmation that you are 18 years or older
• Cookie Consent Preference: Whether you have accepted or declined our cookie banner
• Virtual Coin Balance: Your current balance of virtual coins
• Game Progress and Settings: Your game history, achievements, and personal preferences

Essential Storage (Always Active)

The following storage functions are essential to OceanKiwiPlay and are always active to ensure the platform functions correctly:

• Age Verification: We store your age confirmation to comply with our 18+ policy and prevent access by minors.
• Consent Preference: We store your choice regarding our cookie consent banner so we do not repeatedly show it on every visit.
• Coin Balance: We securely store your virtual coin balance locally so your progress is remembered across sessions.
• Session Data: We use essential cookies to maintain session information if needed for security or functionality.

Analytics

At this time, OceanKiwiPlay does not use analytics cookies or third-party analytics services to track user behavior across the web. We do not collect data about your browsing patterns, device information, or usage statistics for advertising or marketing purposes. This helps us maintain your privacy while you enjoy our platform.

Third-Party Cookies

OceanKiwiPlay does not embed third-party advertising or tracking services. However, we do provide links to external support organisations such as GamCare, GambleAware, Gambling Therapy, and the Responsible Gambling Council. When you visit these external sites by following our links, they may set their own cookies in accordance with their privacy policies. These third-party cookies are not under our control, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies independently.
