What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website places on your device. They let a site recognise your device, remember your settings and measure how pages are used.
- Session cookies last only while your browser is open.
- Persistent cookies stay on your device until they expire or you delete them.
- First-party cookies are set by the site you are on; third-party cookies by another domain, such as an analytics provider.
Cookies work as a small exchange between your browser and a website. The site sends a cookie with a name and a value, and your browser sends it back on later requests. That return trip is how a site recognises a returning device without asking you to sign in.
Cookies do not run programs and they cannot read other files on your device. Cookies only store short text values. What matters for privacy is who sets the cookie and what that party does with the value, which is why this policy separates first-party from third-party cookies.
The cookies we use
| Name | Purpose | Party | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| JSESSIONID | Identifies your web session on our servers | 1st party | Session |
| deployr-uid | Personalises site content | 1st party | Session |
| deployr-experiment | Assigns you to an A/B test group | 1st party | Persistent |
| deployr-visitor-country | Tailors the site to your country, for example the language | 1st party | Persistent |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics: distinguishes visitors | 3rd party | Persistent |
We also use New Relic for performance monitoring and Google Analytics to understand how the site is used.
The JSESSIONID cookie keeps your visit together while you move between pages on newcasino.co.nz. The JSESSIONID cookie is a session cookie, so your browser discards it when you close the browser. Our servers use it to treat several page requests as one visit.
The deployr-uid, deployr-experiment and deployr-visitor-country cookies are first-party cookies. The deployr-uid cookie personalises site content. The deployr-experiment cookie places you in an A/B test group, which lets us compare two versions of a page. The deployr-visitor-country cookie tailors the site to your country, for example the language.
The _ga_* cookie is a third-party cookie from Google Analytics. Google Analytics uses it to distinguish visitors, which lets us count visits and see which pages are read. New Relic is the performance monitoring service named in this policy. Performance monitoring helps us notice pages that load slowly or fail.
Third-party cookies are set by a different domain than the one you are visiting. On this site, the Google Analytics cookie is the third-party cookie in the table. Google's opt-out add-on, linked in the browser section of this page, stops Google Analytics on every site you visit.
How to manage cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the links above cover the main browsers. Blocking cookies may stop some features from working, such as remembered settings.
Every major browser lets you view, block and delete cookies. Chrome, Firefox and Safari each keep this control in their privacy or settings menu. The links in the browser section of this page point to each vendor's own instructions.
Blocking all cookies and blocking only third-party cookies have different effects. Blocking third-party cookies stops the Google Analytics cookie, while first-party cookies such as the country cookie keep working. Blocking every cookie may stop remembered settings from working. Deleting cookies gives that device a fresh start.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes take effect when they are posted on this page.
The effective date in the page header shows which version you are reading. If a change affects which cookies the site sets, the cookie table above is the part to check. Check the table again after any update, because the table lists names, purposes and durations.

Cookie questions
Does NewCasinoRank use advertising cookies?
The cookies listed in this policy are for running the site, personalisation, A/B tests, country settings, analytics (Google Analytics) and performance monitoring (New Relic). A casino's own site sets its own cookies once you leave ours.
Can I use the site without cookies?
Yes. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some features, such as remembered settings, may stop working.
How do I stop Google Analytics from tracking me?
Block third-party cookies in your browser, or install Google's opt-out browser add-on for Google Analytics.
Do affiliate links set cookies?
When you follow a link to a casino, the casino and its tracking partners may set cookies on their own site to record that you came from us. Their cookie policies apply there.
When did this policy last change?
The policy took effect on 22 February 2023. The date at the top of the page shows when the page was last updated.
Where can I read how newcasino.co.nz handles personal data?
Cookies record small pieces of information about your device and visit. Personal data covered by law is a wider topic than cookies. Our privacy policy explains how newcasino.co.nz handles information about visitors.
Do cookies affect which casinos you rank?
The cookie table lists no cookie that ranks casinos. Cookies are used for the purposes in that table. The order of casinos comes from our ranking method, not from your browsing.
Do other rules apply when I use the site?
This policy covers cookies only. Using newcasino.co.nz involves more than cookie rules. The terms and conditions set out the rules for using the site.
Where can I get help if gambling is a problem for me?
Cookies have no link to gambling harm, but the topic matters on a gambling site. Support is free and confidential. Our responsible gaming page lists tools and contacts, including the Gambling Helpline on 0800 654 655.
What is the difference between a session cookie and a persistent cookie?
A session cookie is deleted when you close your browser. A persistent cookie stays until it expires or you delete it. In the table above, JSESSIONID and deployr-uid are session cookies, while the A/B test, country and Google Analytics cookies are persistent.
Is it safe to delete cookies set by newcasino.co.nz?
Yes. Deleting cookies removes small text files only. Your device and its files are not affected. After deletion, remembered settings such as your country are no longer stored.
