What Are Cookies and Why Does Kaboombet Casino Use Them
When you visit kaboombet-casino-nz.com, small text files called cookies are placed on your device by your browser. These files do not contain executable code and cannot damage your device. What they do is store information that helps the site recognise you between visits, remember your preferences, and function correctly as an interactive platform.
Cookies have been a standard part of how websites work for decades. Without them, you would need to log in every time you clicked a new page, your chosen language settings would reset constantly, and the site would have no way of knowing whether you had already claimed a particular bonus. For an online casino that handles account balances, bonus activations, game sessions, and payment processing, that kind of continuity is not optional. It is foundational.
Kaboombet Casino uses cookies in accordance with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and the Information Privacy Principles (IPPs) set out within it. This policy explains exactly which cookies we use, what purpose each category serves, who else places cookies on our site, and what your options are for managing or limiting them.
The Legal Framework That Governs Our Cookie Use
New Zealand does not have standalone legislation specifically dedicated to cookies in the way that European jurisdictions do. The primary legal framework governing how we collect, store, and use information from visitors to kaboombet-casino-nz.com is the Privacy Act 2020, which replaced the Privacy Act 1993 and significantly updated how personal information must be handled in New Zealand.
Under the Privacy Act 2020, personal information is defined broadly. Information that can identify you, either on its own or in combination with other data, is personal information and must be collected, stored, and used fairly and transparently. Certain cookies we use fall within that definition because they generate identifiers linked to your device, your account, or your behaviour on the site.
The Gambling Act 2003 is also relevant to how we operate as an online casino. That legislation places obligations on gambling operators around player identification, age verification, and responsible gambling. Some of the cookies we use exist specifically to support our compliance with those obligations, including verifying that users accessing gambling features are over 18 and that responsible gambling tools are correctly applied to the right accounts.
Kaboombet Casino is operated by Windward Circle BV and holds casino licence number DIA-NZ-GL-452891-23. Our registered contact address in New Zealand is Level 7, Westpac Trust Building, 106 George Street, Dunedin 9016. You can contact us directly at support@kaboombet-casino-nz.com or on +64 3 470 0319.
Types of Cookies We Use
Our cookies fall into four distinct categories. Understanding what each category does is the most practical way to assess which you are comfortable with and which you would prefer to limit.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the site to function at a basic level. Without them, core features of kaboombet-casino-nz.com cannot operate. They cannot be switched off without breaking your ability to use the site, and they do not store any information that identifies you personally beyond what is required to keep your session active.
Strictly necessary cookies cover the following functions:
- Maintaining your login session so you stay signed in as you move between pages
- Storing session tokens that authenticate your account during gameplay
- Processing deposits and withdrawals securely without losing your transaction in progress
- Enforcing access controls so that game areas, account settings, and banking pages are only accessible after authentication
- Applying responsible gambling limits that have been set on your account, including deposit caps and session time restrictions
- Retaining your cookie consent choices so you are not prompted on every page load
These cookies are active from the moment you access the site and remain in place throughout your session. Session cookies of this type are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent versions, such as those that keep you logged in across visits, remain on your device for a defined period that is described in the cookie details table below.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember choices you make on the site that go beyond basic access. They are not strictly required for the site to load, but they significantly affect the quality of your experience. Disabling them means the site reverts to default settings every time you visit.
Functional cookies handle the following on kaboombet-casino-nz.com:
- Remembering your preferred game lobby view and filter settings
- Retaining your language and display preferences across sessions
- Tracking which bonus offers you have already seen or dismissed so we do not display them repeatedly
- Storing your preferred payment method in the banking section to speed up deposits
- Remembering whether you have opted into or out of specific promotional communications within the site
Functional cookies do not track your activity across external websites. They are specific to your experience on kaboombet-casino-nz.com and are not shared with third parties for their own purposes.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies collect aggregated data about how visitors use the site. The information gathered helps us understand which pages perform well, where technical problems are occurring, and how players navigate between game categories and account sections. This data is used to improve the platform over time.
The specific purposes analytics cookies serve on our platform include:
- Counting unique visitors and tracking session lengths to assess overall site activity
- Identifying which game categories and individual titles attract the most engagement
- Detecting pages where visitors leave the site unexpectedly, which can indicate a loading error or confusing navigation
- Measuring how long the registration and deposit processes take to complete, so we can identify steps that cause friction
- Tracking the performance of our mobile browser experience across different device types and screen sizes
Analytics data collected through these cookies is anonymised before processing. It is not used to identify individual users and is not linked back to your account. We use Google Analytics to process site performance data. Google Analytics sets its own cookies when active on our site. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Marketing and Targeting Cookies
Marketing cookies are placed with the purpose of delivering promotional content that is relevant to your interests, both on kaboombet-casino-nz.com and on other websites you visit. They track activity across sites over time to build a picture of your interests, which is then used to tailor advertising.
On our site, marketing cookies are used for the following:
- Personalising the bonus offers and promotional banners you see within your account based on which games you play most
- Delivering retargeted advertising on third-party platforms if you have visited kaboombet-casino-nz.com without completing registration
- Measuring the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by tracking whether a visit to our site followed an advert being displayed elsewhere
- Limiting how frequently you see the same promotional message to avoid displaying the same content repeatedly
Marketing cookies involve data being shared with advertising partners and social media platforms. You have the right to refuse these cookies without affecting your ability to use the site. If you refuse marketing cookies, promotional content within your account will revert to generic offers rather than personalised ones. You will not see targeted advertising from Kaboombet Casino on external platforms.

Third-Party Cookies on kaboombet-casino-nz.com
Kaboombet Casino is not the only party placing cookies on your device when you use our site. A number of third-party services we rely on to operate the platform set their own cookies independently. These third parties have their own privacy policies and their own obligations under applicable law. We do not control the cookies placed by these providers beyond what we have contracted with them.
The third-party services active on kaboombet-casino-nz.com include:
- Google Analytics: Provides site performance and traffic data. Google’s privacy policy applies to all data collected through its analytics services and is available at policies.google.com/privacy.
- Google Ads: Tracks ad conversions and supports remarketing campaigns. Subject to Google’s advertising data policies.
- Meta (Facebook) Pixel: Measures the effectiveness of Facebook and Instagram advertising campaigns and supports retargeted ads. Meta’s data policy is available at facebook.com/policy.
- Game software providers: Some of our game providers, including Evolution, Play’n Go, Playtech Live, PG Soft, Evoplay, Spribe, and BGAMING, may set functional cookies when their games are loaded in your browser. These cookies are limited to the functionality of the game session and do not persist beyond the session in most cases.
- Payment processors: When you initiate a deposit or withdrawal, third-party payment processors may set cookies as part of their fraud prevention and transaction verification processes. These cookies are strictly necessary for payment security.
We do not sell personal information collected through cookies to third parties. Data sharing with the providers listed above is limited to what is necessary to deliver the service in question.
Cookies and Age Verification
New Zealand law requires that access to gambling products be restricted to persons aged 18 and over. Kaboombet Casino uses cookies as part of its age verification and access control systems. Once you have completed the identity verification process required by our Know Your Customer (KYC) procedure, a verification flag is associated with your account and maintained through authenticated session cookies.
This means that each time you log in, our systems can confirm that your account has been verified as belonging to an adult player before granting access to real-money games, deposits, and bonus activation. Without session cookies, this verification would need to be repeated from scratch on every page load, which is not technically practical.
If you clear all cookies from your browser while logged in, you will be required to authenticate again before accessing your account. This is expected behaviour and is a security feature rather than a malfunction.
How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for managing the cookies placed on your device when you use kaboombet-casino-nz.com.
Through Our Cookie Consent Tool
When you visit the site for the first time, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept all cookies, accept only strictly necessary cookies, or customise your preferences by category. Your choices are saved and applied across your sessions on the site. You can revisit and update your preferences at any time by accessing the cookie settings link in the footer of the site.
Through Your Browser Settings
Every major browser provides settings that allow you to control, block, or delete cookies. The method varies by browser:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data
- Samsung Internet (Android): Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies
Blocking all cookies through your browser will prevent strictly necessary cookies from operating, which will stop you from being able to log in or play games on kaboombet-casino-nz.com. If you want to block only non-essential cookies, use the category-specific options in our consent tool rather than a blanket browser block.
Opt-Out Tools for Specific Third Parties
Several of the third-party providers whose cookies are active on our site offer dedicated opt-out mechanisms:
- Google Analytics opt-out: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
- Google Ads personalisation: adssettings.google.com
- Meta ad preferences: facebook.com/ads/preferences
- Your Online Choices (industry opt-out tool): youronlinechoices.com/nz
- Network Advertising Initiative opt-out: optout.networkadvertising.org
Using these tools will opt you out of targeted advertising from the relevant providers across all websites, not just kaboombet-casino-nz.com.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers transmit a Do Not Track (DNT) signal to websites indicating that the user prefers not to be tracked across sites. There is currently no universally agreed standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and New Zealand law does not require a specific response to them.
At present, kaboombet-casino-nz.com does not alter its cookie behaviour in response to DNT signals. We recommend using our cookie consent tool or your browser’s built-in controls to manage tracking preferences, as these mechanisms give you more granular control than the DNT signal currently provides.
Cookie Data and Your Privacy Rights Under the Privacy Act 2020
To the extent that cookies placed on your device collect or are linked to personal information as defined under the Privacy Act 2020, you have the following rights in relation to that information:
- Right of access: You may request confirmation of whether we hold personal information about you and request a copy of that information.
- Right of correction: If personal information we hold is inaccurate, you may request that it be corrected.
- Right to complain: If you believe we have breached the Information Privacy Principles, you may make a complaint to us directly. If we do not resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, you may escalate it to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz.
To exercise your access or correction rights, contact us at support@kaboombet-casino-nz.com. Include your registered account email address and a description of the specific information you are requesting. We will respond within 20 working days, as required under the Privacy Act 2020.
Analytics cookies that are fully anonymised and cannot be linked back to any individual are not considered personal information under the Privacy Act 2020. The rights described above do not apply to anonymised aggregate data of that type.
Cookies on the Kaboombet Mobile Browser Experience
Kaboombet Casino does not have a native app that requires installation from the App Store or Google Play. The entire platform runs through your mobile browser, which means the cookie framework described in this policy applies equally to mobile users. No separate cookie environment exists for mobile play.
Mobile browsers handle cookie settings through the same mechanisms as desktop browsers, though the navigation paths to those settings vary by device. On iOS, Safari settings are accessed through the main Settings app rather than within Safari itself. On Android, cookie controls are found within the browser’s own settings menu.
Mobile browser sessions behave identically to desktop sessions for the purposes of authentication, responsible gambling limits, and bonus tracking. Clearing your browser data on mobile, including cookies, will log you out of your account in the same way it would on desktop.
Responsible Gambling and Cookie Data
The responsible gambling tools available on kaboombet-casino-nz.com depend on cookies and server-side account data working together. Deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, and self-exclusion periods are all enforced through a combination of account-level records and session authentication cookies.
If you have set a deposit limit or initiated a self-exclusion period, these restrictions are applied to your account at the server level and persist regardless of whether you clear your cookies or use a different browser. Clearing your cookies will require you to log in again, but it will not reset or bypass any responsible gambling restriction that has been set on your account.
If you need support with responsible gambling tools or want to set limits on your account, contact us at support@kaboombet-casino-nz.com or on +64 3 470 0319. You can also access responsible gambling resources through the Problem Gambling Foundation of New Zealand on 0800 664 262 or the free text service on 8006, available around the clock.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
Kaboombet Casino may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or changes in how our third-party service providers operate. When material changes are made, we will display a notification on the site to let you know that the policy has been updated.
Continued use of kaboombet-casino-nz.com after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If you disagree with the updated policy, you should adjust your cookie preferences through our consent tool or discontinue use of the site.
