Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other digital device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, improve user experience, and provide reporting information. Cookies help us remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, language, and cart contents) over a period of time.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We use different categories of cookies to optimize our platform. Below is a detailed breakdown of the cookies active on KiwiLottoNumbers.co.nz:
-
Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies These cookies are vital for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as maintaining your secure session, keeping items in your ticket cart, and verifying your 18+ age status. Because they are necessary for the site’s operation, they cannot be disabled in our systems.
-
Analytics & Performance Cookies These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular, and see how visitors move around the platform. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore completely anonymous.

Preference & Functionality Cookies These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. For example, they remember the specific lottery draw (e.g., Powerball or Strike) you last viewed or your preferred number grid settings. If you do not allow these cookies, some of these services may not function optimally.
3. Third-Party Cookies
In some special cases, we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. For instance, we use secure third-party payment gateways to process your ticket purchases. These providers may place their own cookies to facilitate secure transactions and prevent fraud. Additionally, we may use standard analytics tools (like Google Analytics) to help us understand how you use the site and ways that we can improve your experience.
