Cookie Policy
What cookies murraydowns.co.nz sets, why, and how to disable them — the full table of strictly-necessary, analytics, affiliate-tracking and functional cookies; third-party cookies; browser-level controls and Do Not Track behaviour; and how affiliate click attribution works without sharing personal data.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences, track usage, and (in the case of affiliate sites like ours) attribute referrals to casino partners. Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information by themselves — they typically hold a random session ID that links to data stored on the server.
2. Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on this Site:
Strictly necessary cookies
Required for the site to function. These cannot be disabled. They typically only set in response to actions you take (e.g. setting your privacy preferences, logging in if applicable, filling in forms).
Analytics cookies
Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. We use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled. Analytics data is aggregated and does not personally identify individuals.
Affiliate tracking cookies
When you click an affiliate link to a casino, a tracking cookie or URL parameter is set so the casino can attribute the referral to us. These cookies contain only an anonymous campaign or click ID — no personal information.
Functional cookies
Remember your preferences (e.g. cookie consent choice, hidden notification banners, viewed-content history). They make the site easier to use but are not essential.

4. Third-Party Cookies
When you click an outbound link to a casino partner, that casino may set its own cookies on your device. We do not control these third-party cookies. Please refer to the privacy and cookie policies of those sites for details.
5. Managing Cookies
Browser-level controls
You can disable, delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Each browser does this differently — search "manage cookies" plus your browser name (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge). Note that disabling all cookies will affect the functionality of most websites including this one.
Opting out of Google Analytics
You can install the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on which disables Google Analytics tracking across all sites.
Do Not Track signals
This Site honours browser-issued "Do Not Track" (DNT) headers. If your browser sends a DNT header, we disable analytics and non-essential tracking for that session.
6. Affiliate Cookies and Your Privacy
Affiliate cookies do not contain your name, email, address, financial information, or any other personally identifiable data. They contain only an anonymous click ID that allows the receiving casino to credit us with the referral. No personal information about you is shared from this Site to any casino partner.
7. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date reflects the most recent revision.
