Cookie Notice
Last updated: 2 September 2026
This Cookie Notice explains how Rainbet Casinos Guide uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit rainbet.co.nz.
Rainbet Casinos Guide is an independent information and comparison portal with an editorial focus on New Zealand. Cookies help us operate the website, understand how readers use our content, remember certain preferences and, where applicable, measure referrals to third-party partners.
This notice should be read together with our Privacy Notice, which explains how personal information is handled more broadly.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites can place on your browser or device.
Some cookies are necessary for a website to function correctly. Others can help remember preferences, understand website traffic or measure interactions with links and content.
Cookies can be:
Session cookies, which normally disappear when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain for a defined period unless you delete them earlier.
Similar technologies, such as local storage, tags or tracking identifiers, may perform related functions. In this notice, we generally use the term “cookies” to cover these technologies where appropriate.
2. How Rainbet Casinos Guide Uses Cookies
We aim to use cookies only where they serve a practical purpose connected with operating, improving or measuring the website.
Depending on the services active on rainbet.co.nz, cookies may be used to:
- Keep core website functions working
- Remember cookie and privacy preferences
- Maintain website security
- Understand which pages readers visit
- Identify technical or navigation problems
- Measure traffic and general website performance
- Understand how readers reach the portal
- Attribute referrals made through certain affiliate links
The exact cookies used can change as the website and its technical services evolve.
3. Strictly Necessary Cookies
Some cookies are required for basic website functions and cannot reasonably be switched off through our consent settings.
They may be used for functions such as security, session management, fraud prevention, form operation or remembering whether you have already made a cookie choice.
Because these technologies are necessary to provide the website or a feature you have requested, they may operate without the same consent mechanism used for optional cookies.
Blocking them through your browser may cause parts of Rainbet Casinos Guide to stop working correctly.
4. Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics can help us understand how readers use the portal.
For example, it may show that a particular casino review receives substantial traffic, that readers commonly move from a payment guide to a casino review, or that a page is difficult to use on certain devices.
Depending on the analytics services enabled, information collected may include page views, approximate location, device type, browser, referral source and general interaction data.
We use this information to improve areas such as navigation, editorial structure, page performance and usability.
Where applicable law requires consent before analytics cookies are used, they should remain inactive until the appropriate permission has been provided.
5. Functional Cookies
Functional cookies can be used to remember choices that improve how the website behaves for returning visitors.
This might include preferences relating to interface behaviour, consent settings or other non-essential website features.
Not every functional feature necessarily requires a cookie, and the specific technologies in use may change over time.
Declining optional functional cookies should not prevent access to the main editorial content of Rainbet Casinos Guide, although some convenience features may work differently.
6. Affiliate Tracking
Some links on Rainbet Casinos Guide may be affiliate links.
When you follow one of these links to a third-party casino or commercial partner, a tracking identifier may be used to record that the referral originated from our website.
This can allow the partner or affiliate platform to determine whether a qualifying action resulted from that referral.
Affiliate tracking may involve cookies or other technical identifiers operated by the external partner rather than directly by Rainbet Casinos Guide.
These technologies do not give us access to your casino password, account balance, private gambling history or payment credentials.
Once you leave rainbet.co.nz and enter a third-party website, that site’s own cookie and privacy practices apply.
Our commercial model is explained separately in our Commercial Relationships Disclosure.
7. Advertising and Measurement Technologies
Where advertising or commercial placements are used on Rainbet Casinos Guide, measurement technologies may be used to understand whether a campaign or referral has generated traffic or other permitted interactions.
We do not describe all advertising-related technologies as necessary cookies.
Where a technology is optional and applicable law requires consent, it should be controlled through the relevant consent mechanism.
The presence of advertising or affiliate measurement does not alter casino game outcomes and does not give Rainbet Casinos Guide control over a player’s casino account.
8. Third-Party Cookies
Some services used by the website may place their own cookies or similar technologies.
These can include providers involved in:
- Analytics
- Website security
- Embedded content
- Technical performance
- Affiliate attribution
- Consent management
Third-party providers control their own technologies and may process information under their own privacy and cookie policies.
Rainbet Casinos Guide does not control cookies placed after you leave our website and visit an external casino, payment service or other third-party platform.
9. Cookie Consent
Where consent is required for optional cookies, visitors should be given a meaningful choice before those technologies are activated.
The cookie banner or preference tool may allow you to:
Accept optional cookies, Reject non-essential cookies, or choose categories individually where that functionality is available.
Strictly necessary technologies may remain active because they are required for the website to function or to remember your privacy choices.
You can change your preferences later where the site’s consent-management tool provides that option.
10. Your Choice Does Not Affect Editorial Access
Declining optional cookies should not prevent you from reading the main editorial content on Rainbet Casinos Guide.
You should still be able to access casino reviews, guides and informational pages even if you do not consent to optional analytics or affiliate-related cookies.
Certain technical or convenience features may behave differently, but cookie consent should not be used as a condition for accessing ordinary editorial content where such consent is not necessary.
11. Browser Controls
Most modern browsers allow you to control cookies directly.
Depending on the browser, you may be able to:
- View stored cookies
- Delete existing cookies
- Block all cookies
- Block third-party cookies
- Allow cookies only for selected websites
- Clear cookies automatically when the browser closes
Browser controls work separately from the consent settings available on Rainbet Casinos Guide.
If you delete all stored cookies, the website may no longer remember a previous consent decision and may ask you to choose your preferences again.
12. Cookie Retention
Different cookies remain active for different periods.
Some last only for the current browsing session, while others may remain for days, months or another defined period.
We do not intend to keep cookie-based information longer than reasonably necessary for the purpose for which the relevant technology is used.
Retention can also depend on the settings of third-party services involved.
Where possible, unnecessary retention periods should be avoided.
13. New Zealand Readers
Rainbet Casinos Guide is primarily designed for readers in New Zealand, while its publisher is established in the United Kingdom.
Our approach to cookies therefore considers the privacy requirements relevant to the operation of the portal and the audience it serves.
The purpose of identifying New Zealand as our editorial focus is to describe the market covered by our content. It does not mean that Rainbet Casinos Guide is incorporated or operates as a gambling provider in New Zealand.
14. We Do Not Use Cookies to Control Casino Activity
Rainbet Casinos Guide does not operate the casinos reviewed on the portal.
Cookies used on our website cannot:
- Place wagers for you
- Determine casino game outcomes
- Access your casino balance
- Approve withdrawals
- Modify casino bonuses
- Complete casino verification
Any cookies or tracking technologies used after you enter a casino website are governed by that operator and are outside our direct control.
15. Changes to the Cookies We Use
Website technology changes over time.
We may add, replace or remove services as Rainbet Casinos Guide develops. This can result in changes to the cookies or similar technologies used on the portal.
Where a material change affects this notice or the consent choices available to readers, we may update this page accordingly.
The Last updated date at the top of the page indicates when this notice was most recently revised.
16. Relationship With Our Privacy Notice
Cookies are only one part of how website information can be processed.
Our Privacy Notice provides broader information about:
personal information submitted through contact forms, technical information, analytics, data sharing, international processing, retention and privacy rights.
Readers who want a fuller explanation of how information is handled should review both notices.
