1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Coral Cove NZ ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at coralcovenz.com (the "Platform"). This policy should be read alongside our Terms of Use and provides you with clear information about the cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, provide information to website owners, and enhance the user experience. Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remaining on your device for a set period or until manually deleted).
3. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Platform to function and cannot be switched off. They include cookies that:
- Remember your age verification status (18+ gate).
- Store your cookie consent preferences.
- Maintain session security and prevent cross-site request forgery.
3.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as:
- Remembering your preferences (e.g., language, display settings).
- Storing form data to improve your experience on return visits.
3.3 Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the Platform. This helps us improve performance and content. Data collected is aggregated and anonymous. Examples include page visit counts, traffic sources, and navigation patterns.
3.4 Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party services integrated into our Platform, such as game providers. These third parties have their own cookie policies, and we encourage you to review them. We do not control third-party cookies.

5. Managing Cookies
You have the right to accept or decline cookies. When you first visit the Platform, a cookie consent banner will appear giving you the option to accept or decline non-essential cookies.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View what cookies are stored and delete them individually.
- Block third-party cookies.
- Block cookies from specific websites.
- Block all cookies.
- Delete all cookies when you close your browser.
Please note: Blocking all cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of the Platform, such as age verification and consent preferences.
6. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we may use browser local storage for similar purposes (e.g., storing your age verification and cookie consent preferences). Local storage data persists until explicitly cleared by you through your browser settings.
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. As there is currently no industry standard for handling DNT requests, we do not respond to DNT signals at this time.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our business practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
