Cookies & Tracking Policy
Effective date: 25 March 2026
This Cookies & Tracking Policy explains how Social Arcade NZ Limited ("we", "us") uses cookies, SDKs, pixels and similar technologies on socialarcadenz.com (the "Site"). These tools help the Site work, help us understand usage, measure advertising, and protect against fraud and abuse. This policy should be read with our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. We may also use local storage, device identifiers, pixel tags, and server-side measurement. Some technologies are set by us (first-party) and some by partners (third-party).
Types of cookies we use
- Strictly necessary: enable core functions (security, page navigation, session management, consent settings). These are generally required for the Site to operate.
- Preferences: remember choices (such as region or display preferences) where available.
- Analytics: help us understand how the Site is used (e.g., pages visited, approximate location, device/browser information) so we can improve performance.
- Advertising & measurement: help measure ad performance, limit frequency, attribute conversions, and improve relevance of ads across platforms (for example, Google Ads measurement). Depending on your settings, these may involve identifiers and sharing data with advertising partners.
- Fraud prevention & security: help detect suspicious activity, reduce spam, and protect accounts and transactions.
Google / advertising measurement transparency
We may use Google services (such as Google Analytics and Google Ads measurement) to understand Site activity and advertising effectiveness. Where implemented, we may send events such as page views or conversions. Depending on your consent choices and configuration, Google may process data using cookies or similar identifiers. We aim to apply consent-based controls for analytics and ad-related storage (for example, analytics storage and ad storage) where required.
Your choices and controls
- Cookie banner/settings: if available on the Site, you can accept, reject, or customise non-essential cookies. Your choice can be changed later using the same settings tool.
- Browser controls: you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Note: blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect Site functionality.
- Device settings: on mobile devices you may be able to limit ad tracking via your OS settings (e.g., reset/limit advertising identifiers).
- Opt-out tools: some third parties provide opt-out mechanisms (for example, Google Ad Settings and analytics opt-out options). You can search those providers’ help pages for the most current instructions.
How long cookies last
Some cookies last only while your browser is open (session cookies). Others remain for a set period (persistent cookies). Retention depends on the cookie’s purpose and your settings.
Updates to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes to technologies, legal requirements in New Zealand, or our practices. We will post the updated version on this page and update the effective date.
