This Cookie Policy explains how Kiwi Bet (fit4football.co.nz) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we handle your data.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They're widely used across the internet to make sites work properly, improve performance, and provide information to site owners.
Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the site you're visiting) or "third-party" (set by other services used on the site, like analytics tools). They can also be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (stored on your device for a set period).
We use three categories of cookies on our site. Here's a straightforward breakdown:
| Category | Purpose | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Basic site functionality | Yes |
| Analytics | Understanding how visitors use our site | No |
| Affiliate Tracking | Tracking clicks to betting operators | No |
These cookies are necessary for the site to function. Without them, some features may not work correctly. They include:
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Session ID | Maintains your browsing session as you navigate between pages | Session (deleted when you close browser) |
| Cookie consent | Remembers your cookie preferences so we don't ask you every visit | 12 months |
| Mobile menu state | Remembers navigation preferences on mobile devices | Session |
Essential cookies cannot be disabled without breaking the site's basic functionality.
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. This helps us figure out which content is useful, where people drop off, and how we can improve the experience. These cookies collect information like:
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique visitors to the site | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Maintains session state for Google Analytics 4 | 2 years |
| _gid | Distinguishes users for analytics purposes | 24 hours |
| _gat | Throttles request rate to Google Analytics | 1 minute |
Google Analytics data is anonymised and aggregated. We don't use it to identify individual visitors. You can opt out of Google Analytics entirely by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
When you click on a link to a betting operator on our site, affiliate tracking cookies are placed on your device. These cookies tell the betting operator that you were referred by Kiwi Bet, which is how we earn commissions to fund our operations.
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Affiliate network tracking | Records your click and associates it with our site | 30-90 days (varies by network) |
| Click ID | Unique identifier for your click-through to the operator | 30-90 days (varies by network) |
| Sub-ID parameters | Tracks which page or link on our site you clicked from | 30-90 days (varies by network) |
These cookies are only set when you actively click a link to a betting site. They are not set just by browsing our pages. The information tracked is limited to the click itself — the affiliate networks do not receive any personal information from us about you.
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services rather than by us directly. These include:
We do not have direct control over third-party cookies. However, you can manage or block them using your browser settings or the tools described in the next section.
You have several options for controlling cookies:
All modern browsers allow you to manage cookie settings. Here's how to access cookie controls in the most common browsers:
You can choose to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or delete existing cookies. Keep in mind that blocking all cookies may affect how some websites function.
To specifically opt out of Google Analytics across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. While there is currently no universal standard for how sites should respond to DNT signals, we respect your preferences and encourage you to use the browser controls described above for more reliable cookie management.
Our site will still work if you disable non-essential cookies. You'll be able to browse all our reviews, guides, and comparisons without any issues. The main differences you might notice: analytics cookies being blocked means your visits won't be counted in our traffic reports (that's fine by us), and if you block affiliate cookies, clicking through to a betting operator may still work but the operator won't know you came from our site (which means we won't earn a commission, but that's our problem, not yours).
New Zealand does not currently have cookie-specific legislation equivalent to the EU's ePrivacy Directive. However, the collection and use of information through cookies is covered by the NZ Privacy Act 2020 to the extent that cookies collect personal information.
Under the Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to:
For more details on your rights and how to exercise them, see our Privacy Policy.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, particularly when we add or remove third-party services, or when there are changes in relevant legislation. We'll update the "Last updated" date at the top when changes are made.
