Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2026-05-27 • winlixnz.com
This Cookie Policy explains how Winlix NZ Limited ("we", "us") uses cookies, pixels, local storage, SDKs and similar technologies (collectively, "Cookies") on winlixnz.com. Cookies help operate the site, remember preferences, measure performance, and support security/fraud prevention. Where used, they may also support advertising or audience measurement.
What Cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser. Similar technologies include pixels/web beacons (small images/scripts that transmit data), local storage (browser-stored data), and mobile/website SDKs (code used to collect events and device signals).
Cookie categories we may use
| Category | Purpose | Typical retention |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Core site functions (page navigation, load balancing), account/session management, consent and security features. | Session to 12 months |
| Security & Fraud Prevention | Detect abuse, prevent fraud, protect accounts, rate-limit and investigate suspicious activity. | Session to 24 months |
| Performance & Analytics | Understand usage (e.g., pages visited, errors), improve performance and features, and measure aggregated trends. | Up to 24 months |
| Functional | Remember preferences (language, settings) and enhance user experience. | Up to 12 months |
| Advertising / Targeting (if enabled) | Measure campaigns, limit ad frequency, and (where applicable) deliver or personalize ads/audiences. | Up to 24 months |
Retention varies by cookie and can be shorter if you delete cookies or if we change providers/configurations.
First-party vs. third-party Cookies
First-party Cookies are set by winlixnz.com. Third-party Cookies are set by service providers we use (for example, analytics, security, or advertising partners) and are governed by those providers’ policies.
How to manage your Cookie preferences
- On-site controls: If we provide a cookie banner or preferences center, you can adjust non-essential cookies there at any time.
- Browser controls: You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect site functionality.
- Opt-outs: Where available, you can opt out of certain third-party analytics/advertising via provider tools and industry opt-out programs. If you use multiple devices/browsers, update settings on each.
- Global Privacy Control (GPC): If your browser sends a GPC signal, we will treat it as a privacy preference and apply it where reasonably practicable, consistent with our obligations under the Privacy Act 2020 (NZ).
- Do Not Track: Some browsers offer a DNT signal; there is no consistent industry standard for responding, so our practices are described in this Policy.
Updates to this Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes are effective when posted on this page with an updated date.
