What This Policy Covers
This Cookie Policy explains how OnlySpins Casino, operated from 1 Queens Wharf, Wellington Central, Wellington 6011, New Zealand, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on onlyspins-casino-nz.com. It applies to all visitors and registered players accessing our website from New Zealand.
By continuing to use our site after being shown the cookie notice, you agree to cookies being placed on your device in accordance with the settings you choose. You can change those preferences at any time.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions, both of which are available on our website.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They serve a range of practical purposes, from keeping you logged in during a session to helping us understand which parts of the site are most useful to players.
Similar technologies include web beacons (tiny image files embedded in pages or emails), pixel tags, and local storage objects. Throughout this policy, we refer to all of these collectively as “cookies” for simplicity.
Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot be used to access personal files stored on your device. They can only be read by the website or service that set them.
Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, adjusting account settings, or placing funds into your account. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.
- Session authentication and account security
- Maintaining your login state across pages
- Storing your cookie consent preferences
- Processing transactions and verifying identity during gameplay
- Fraud prevention and responsible gambling controls
Because these cookies are essential, they do not require your consent under New Zealand privacy law. However, we are transparent about their use.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use the site, such as which pages are visited most frequently and whether error messages are received. All data collected is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
- Tracking page load times and site errors
- Identifying which games and sections attract the most visits
- Measuring the effectiveness of site improvements
- Monitoring connection stability during live dealer sessions
We use this information to improve how the site performs for all players, including those on mobile devices and slower connections.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow us to remember choices you make so we can provide a more personalised experience. These are not strictly necessary but significantly improve the quality of your visit.
- Remembering your preferred language or currency (NZD)
- Saving display preferences such as game grid layout
- Recalling whether you have previously accepted promotional terms
- Keeping track of recently played games for quick access
Targeting and Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to make promotional content more relevant to you, both on our website and on third-party platforms. They work by building a profile of your interests based on browsing activity.
- Serving bonus offers and promotions relevant to your activity
- Limiting how often you see the same advertisement
- Measuring the effectiveness of marketing campaigns
- Enabling retargeting through trusted advertising networks
We do not use targeting cookies to collect data from users who have self-excluded or opted out of marketing communications. If you have set responsible gambling limits or requested a cooling-off period, advertising cookies are disabled for your account.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on onlyspins-casino-nz.com are placed by third parties rather than by us directly. These include game software providers, payment processors, and analytics platforms. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, and we recommend reviewing them if you want detailed information about how they handle data.
Common categories of third-party cookies you may encounter include:
- Game provider SDKs that track session performance and fairness metrics
- Payment gateway scripts that verify transaction authenticity
- Analytics platforms that aggregate anonymised visitor statistics
- Security tools that detect bot traffic and fraudulent activity
We take reasonable steps to ensure that any third party we work with handles data responsibly and in a manner consistent with our obligations under the Privacy Act 2020 (New Zealand).
Cookies and Responsible Gambling
OnlySpins Casino takes its responsible gambling obligations seriously. Certain cookies on our platform play a direct role in meeting those obligations:
- Session time tracking cookies alert us when a player has been active for an extended period, supporting our duty of care under responsible gaming principles.
- Deposit limit cookies ensure that player-set financial controls are enforced consistently across sessions and devices.
- Self-exclusion cookies permanently block excluded players from accessing promotional content and bonus triggers, even if they clear their browser history.
- Age verification status is retained in a secure cookie to prevent underage access attempts during a session.
These responsible gambling cookies are classified as strictly necessary. Disabling them may prevent certain protective features from functioning correctly, which is why we strongly advise against blocking all cookies without exception.
Cookie Lifespan
Cookies can be either session-based or persistent:
- Session cookies are temporary and expire as soon as you close your browser. They are used primarily for navigation and account authentication during active play.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period after you leave the site. Depending on their purpose, this may range from 24 hours (for certain session-recovery functions) to up to 24 months (for advertising and preference cookies).
You can view the specific lifespan of individual cookies stored by our site through your browser’s developer tools or cookie management settings.
