Cookie Policy
MaoriSpins operates a cookie system detailed here, outlining their function and your management options. We follow current best practice: non-essential cookies demand your explicit opt-in consent.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files your browser stores on your device when visiting MaoriSpins. They remember your preferences, enable core functionality, and—with your consent—support our analytics and marketing programmes.
A cookie can be set either by the site itself (first-party cookie) or by a third-party provider (third-party cookie).
2. Categories of cookies
2.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for MaoriSpins to function properly. The site cannot operate without them, so your consent isn't required.
- **bjh_consent** — remembers your cookie choice so the banner won't keep appearing each time you visit. Kept for 12 months.
- session-id — a server-side session identifier. Held for the duration of your session.
2.2 Analytics cookies (optional)
We use these only after you consent via our cookie banner, allowing us to analyse visitor behaviour and improve site content and usability.
- **_ga, _ga_*\** (possible Google Analytics) — anonymised visitor statistics. Retention: up to 13 months.
If you do not accept analytics cookies, these will not be set in your browser.
2.3 Marketing cookies (optional)
Marketing cookies need your consent to show tailored advertising. MaoriSpins presently avoids marketing cookies. If we adopt them, we'll notify you in advance and refresh this list.
3. Giving and withdrawing consent
The first time you arrive at the site you will see a cookie banner with two choices:
- **'Accept all'** — agree to analytics and marketing cookies (where applicable).
- 'Essentials only' — only strictly necessary cookies are set.
Your browser stores your preference for 12 months. To change it, clear this site's cookies—the banner will reappear on your next visit.
4. Managing cookies in your browser
You can also manage cookies directly from your browser. In most browsers you can:
- view and delete stored cookies;
- block all cookies, or cookies from specific sites;
- set the browser to notify you when a cookie is set.
Guides for the most common browsers:
- **Chrome:** Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause issues with the site.
5. Retention
MaoriSpins stores its own cookies for up to 12 months; session cookies end when you close your browser. Specific retention periods are detailed above.
6. Updates to this policy
We update this cookie policy as circumstances require—such as when launching new services or when legal obligations change. Significant updates are announced on our site, with the latest revision date shown at the top of this page.
