Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy provides a detailed explanation of how Rootz LTD uses cookies and other similar tracking technologies on its websites, including wildz-nz.net. The purpose of this document is to inform users about what these technologies are, the specific reasons we use them, and the rights and tools available to you to control their use. This policy is an integral part of our commitment to transparency and should be read in conjunction with our main Privacy Policy for a complete understanding of our data processing practices.

The information outlined here applies to all visitors and registered users accessing our services from New Zealand. We are dedicated to providing a clear framework that allows you to make informed decisions about your privacy and your online experience with us.

Overview of Cookies and Tracking Technologies

To deliver a functional, secure, and personalised online experience, our website utilises standard digital technologies, including cookies, pixels, and local storage. These technologies are essential for the operation of modern websites and help us improve our services. They work by placing or reading small data files on your device to remember information about your visit.

It is important to understand that these technologies typically use anonymous identifiers and do not directly collect sensitive personal information such as your name or address. Their primary function is to enable the website to recognise your device and remember your preferences and activities over time, ensuring a smoother and more efficient user experience.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files composed of a string of characters that are sent to your computer or mobile device’s browser when you visit a website. When you return to the site, the cookie allows the website to recognise your browser and recall information from your previous session. This capability is fundamental for remembering user preferences, facilitating efficient navigation between pages, and generally improving the browsing experience.

Cookies can be classified based on their duration:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary files that exist only for the duration of your visit to our website. They are deleted automatically from your device as soon as you close your browser. Session cookies are crucial for functions such as managing your login session and enabling secure access to your account.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a pre-set period specified within the cookie file itself, or until you manually delete them. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them. Persistent cookies are used to remember your preferences and settings over multiple sessions, such as your chosen language or region.

The Purpose of Using Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for a range of essential purposes, all of which are designed to provide you with a secure, efficient, and enjoyable gaming experience. From ensuring the basic functionality of our website to delivering personalised content and advertising, these technologies are integral to our operations. We do not sell any information collected via cookies to third parties.

Our use of these technologies can be broken down into four main categories:

• To Ensure Core Website Functionality: Certain cookies are classified as strictly necessary because they are indispensable for the technical operation of our platform. They enable critical functions such as user authentication, which allows you to log in securely, and transaction management. They also help us detect and prevent fraudulent activity, thereby ensuring the integrity of our services and protecting your account.
• To Enhance Your User Experience: We use functional cookies to make your interaction with our website smoother and more intuitive. This includes remembering your personal preferences, such as language and region settings, so you do not have to re-enter them on each visit. By understanding how you navigate the site, we can also optimise page loading times and overall performance.
• For Analytics and Performance Improvement: To understand how our users interact with our services, we use analytics cookies. These cookies collect anonymous, aggregated data about website traffic, popular pages, user pathways, and the time spent on our site. This information is vital for us to identify areas for improvement, refine our content, and make data-driven decisions to enhance the platform’s functionality.
• For Marketing and Personalised Advertising: Marketing cookies help us deliver advertising that is relevant to your interests. These cookies track your browsing activity across websites to build a profile of your interests, which is then used to show you more personalised advertisements on our site and others. They also help us measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and correctly attribute traffic from our affiliate partners.

The Types of Cookies We Use

The cookies used on the Wildz website can be categorised based on their specific function. Your consent is required for all non-essential cookies, and you have full control over these settings through our consent management tool. The primary categories of cookies deployed on our website are:

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential to enable you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like logging into your account or processing transactions, cannot be provided. They do not store any personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent as they are essential for the site to function correctly and securely.
2. Performance Cookies: They collect information about how you use our website, for instance, which pages you visit most often and if you receive error messages from web pages. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how the website works and to provide a better user experience.
3. Functional Cookies: Allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, they can be used to remember your login details so you do not have to re-enter them repeatedly. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
4. Marketing Cookies: Used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website, and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have complete control over the non-essential cookies used on our website. We provide several methods for you to manage your consent and preferences, allowing you to tailor your browsing experience according to your comfort level with privacy. Your choices will be respected and can be updated at any time.

Using Our Consent Management Platform

When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner. This interactive tool allows you to accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or customise your settings by enabling or disabling specific categories of cookies. You can change your mind and withdraw your consent at any time by accessing the “Cookie Settings” link, which is located in the footer of our website. Your updated preferences will be applied immediately.

Adjusting Your Browser Settings

Most modern web browsers also allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to block all cookies, accept only certain types, or notify you when a cookie is being sent to your device. Please be aware that if you choose to block all cookies, including strictly necessary ones, you may experience a loss of functionality on our website and other sites you visit.

Third-Party Cookies

In addition to the cookies we set ourselves, we also work with a number of trusted third-party partners who may set cookies on your device when you visit our site. These partners provide essential services that help us operate and improve our platform. For example, our game providers may use cookies to ensure their games run correctly and securely within our platform.

Our analytics partners use cookies to provide us with aggregated, anonymous insights into our website traffic. Similarly, our advertising and affiliate partners use cookies to deliver targeted advertising and to track the performance of our marketing campaigns. These third parties collect information about your interaction with our site and potentially other websites, which is used for their own analytical or advertising purposes in accordance with their respective privacy and cookie policies. We conduct due diligence on all our partners to ensure they adhere to high standards of data protection, but we do not have direct control over the cookies they set.
