What This Policy Covers
This Cookie Policy explains how Vegas Nova Casino, operated by VegaNova Ltd (Level 2, 101 Cashel Street, Christchurch 8011, New Zealand), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the website vegasnova-casino-nz.com. It describes what these technologies are, why they are placed, and what options you have to manage them.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions, both of which are available on the Vegas Nova website. By continuing to use vegasnova-casino-nz.com after being presented with a cookie notice, you indicate acceptance of non-essential cookies in accordance with the settings you choose at that time.
What Cookies Are
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit it. Cookies are stored in your browser and sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to any other website that recognises that particular cookie.
Cookies are not programs. They cannot execute code, deliver viruses, or access any information stored elsewhere on your device beyond what was specifically written into them. They exist solely to carry small amounts of information between your browser and the website’s server.
Alongside traditional cookies, we may also use similar technologies including:
- Web beacons (also called pixel tags or clear GIFs): tiny, invisible graphic files embedded in web pages or emails that notify us when a page has been viewed or an email has been opened
- Local storage objects: data stored in your browser’s local or session storage, used similarly to cookies but with a larger capacity and different expiry behaviour
- Device fingerprinting: a method of identifying your browser or device based on a combination of technical characteristics, used for fraud detection and account security purposes
References to “cookies” throughout this policy apply to all of these technologies unless stated otherwise.
Why Vegas Nova Casino Uses Cookies
The cookies placed on vegasnova-casino-nz.com serve four broad purposes:
- Keeping the site and its features working correctly for every visitor
- Remembering your preferences so you do not have to reconfigure them on every visit
- Understanding how the site is used so we can improve it over time
- Delivering advertising that is more relevant to your demonstrated interests
New Zealand players using Vegas Nova Casino can expect cookies to be involved in session authentication, responsible gambling limit tracking, game loading, language preferences, and payment security checks, among other functions.
Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. Without them, services you have specifically requested, including logging into your account, navigating the game lobby, or processing deposits, cannot be delivered. Because they are essential, these cookies cannot be disabled through our consent management tool. They do not store any personally identifiable information beyond what is technically necessary to operate the service.
Examples of what strictly necessary cookies do at Vegas Nova Casino:
- Authenticate your session after you log in, so you remain logged in as you move between pages
- Store your active session token to prevent you from being signed out during gameplay
- Track your active bonus or wagering status within a session
- Maintain the currency and language settings you have selected (NZD and English)
- Detect and block suspicious login attempts or unusual account activity
- Support the load balancing infrastructure that keeps the site responsive under traffic
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies extend the personalisation of your experience beyond the minimum required for the site to work. They remember choices you have made and apply them the next time you visit, saving you from repeating the same configuration steps each session.
At Vegas Nova Casino, functional cookies may be used for:
- Remembering whether you have dismissed the cookie consent banner
- Saving your preferred game view or lobby filter settings
- Storing your preferred payment method selection in the cashier
- Remembering responsible gambling settings you have set within your account, including session time reminders and deposit limits
- Keeping track of which bonus or promotional offer you were shown, so you are not served the same notification repeatedly
You can disable functional cookies, but doing so may affect your experience on the site. Some preferences will revert to their defaults on each visit.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors interact with vegasnova-casino-nz.com. The data gathered is aggregated and does not identify individual users. It is used by VegaNova Ltd to understand which sections of the site perform well, where visitors encounter difficulties, and how overall traffic patterns change over time.
Analytics cookies at Vegas Nova Casino may capture:
- Which pages are visited and in what sequence
- How long a visitor spends on particular sections of the site
- The type of device, operating system, and browser being used
- The approximate geographic region of the visitor (country or region level, not precise location)
- Whether a visit originated from a link, search engine, or direct URL entry
- Technical errors or page loading failures that affect user experience
Third-party analytics providers, including Google Analytics, may process this data. These providers are bound by their own privacy and data processing terms. Where technically feasible, we configure analytics tools to anonymise IP addresses before storage.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing cookies allow Vegas Nova Casino and third-party advertising partners to show you relevant promotional content across the web, based on your previous interactions with vegasnova-casino-nz.com or other sites within partner networks.
These cookies may:
- Track whether you clicked on an advertisement for Vegas Nova Casino on a third-party website
- Measure the effectiveness of our campaigns by recording whether a visitor who saw an ad later registered or made a deposit
- Limit how often the same advertisement is shown to the same user
- Build a profile of your interests based on browsing behaviour, which advertising platforms use to target promotional content
You can opt out of marketing cookies at any time through the cookie preference centre or through the individual opt-out tools provided by advertising networks such as the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tool.
Opting out of marketing cookies does not reduce the number of advertisements you see online. It changes the basis on which those advertisements are selected, meaning they will be less tailored to your interests.
Cookie Duration
Cookies placed on vegasnova-casino-nz.com are either session cookies or persistent cookies:
- Session cookies exist only for the duration of your browser session. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser tab or window. They are typically used for authentication and security purposes.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, for a period defined in the cookie’s expiry setting. Depending on the cookie’s purpose, this period may range from a few days to several months. Persistent cookies are used for preference storage, analytics, and marketing functions.
The specific duration of each cookie category is available through the cookie preference centre on vegasnova-casino-nz.com.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies placed during your visit to vegasnova-casino-nz.com originate from third parties rather than from VegaNova Ltd directly. These include our game providers, payment processors, analytics platforms, and advertising networks.
Third-party entities whose cookies may be present on the Vegas Nova website include:
- Game software providers, including Evolution, Play’n Go, PG Soft, BGaming, Evoplay, Spribe, SmartSoft, Ezugi, Playtech Live, Evoplay, 3 Oaks Gaming, OnlyPlay, Barbara Bang, VoltEnt, Turbo Games, and others in the Vegas Nova library
- Payment and financial services providers, including processors associated with Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT transactions
- Analytics platforms such as Google Analytics
- Advertising and retargeting networks
- Customer support technology providers
VegaNova Ltd does not control the cookies placed by third parties and is not responsible for the content of their privacy policies. We recommend reviewing the privacy documentation of any third party whose services you interact with through our platform.
Cookies and Responsible Gambling
As a licensed casino operating under Anjouan Gaming Commission licence number 15856, Vegas Nova Casino is required to operate responsible gambling measures as part of its licensing obligations. Certain cookies support the technical delivery of these measures.
Specifically, cookies and session tracking technologies may be used to:
- Apply and enforce deposit limits you have set in your account
- Track session duration and trigger time reminders as configured
- Maintain your self-exclusion or cooling-off status across sessions and devices
- Prevent access to the gambling sections of the site for users who have set exclusion preferences
Cookies that are strictly necessary to deliver responsible gambling controls cannot be disabled, as doing so would compromise the platform’s ability to enforce the protections you have activated.
Your Rights Under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020
The Privacy Act 2020 governs how personal information about New Zealand individuals is collected, used, stored, and disclosed. To the extent that cookies and tracking technologies collect or process personal information about you as a New Zealand resident, your rights under that Act apply.
These rights include:
- The right to know that your personal information is being collected, and to be told the purposes for which it will be used
- The right to access personal information held about you by VegaNova Ltd
- The right to request correction of personal information that is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated
- The right to make a complaint to the New Zealand Privacy Commissioner if you believe your privacy rights have been breached
Cookie data that does not identify you individually, such as aggregated analytics data, typically falls outside the scope of personal information as defined by the Act. Where cookies do collect personal information, such as a cookie linked to a registered account, the Act’s requirements apply in full.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@vegasnova-casino-nz.com or in writing to Level 2, 101 Cashel Street, Christchurch 8011, New Zealand.
How to Manage Cookies
Cookie Preference Centre
When you first visit vegasnova-casino-nz.com, a consent banner gives you the option to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences by category. You can revisit and change these settings at any time through the Cookie Settings link in the website footer.
Changes you make through the preference centre take effect immediately and persist across future sessions until you change them again or clear your browser’s cookie storage.
Browser-Level Controls
All major browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings menus. Instructions for the most widely used browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data
Blocking all cookies at the browser level will prevent our consent management system from storing your preferences and may cause essential site functions to break, including login and game loading. If you choose to block cookies wholesale, you will need to re-enter your preferences on each visit.
Deleting Cookies Already Stored
Deleting existing cookies from your browser removes all data currently stored, but does not prevent new cookies from being placed on your next visit unless you also update your browser settings or preference centre choices to prevent them.
Changes to This Policy
VegaNova Ltd reviews this Cookie Policy periodically to ensure it remains accurate, current, and compliant with applicable regulations including the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and the requirements of the Anjouan Gaming Commission. Changes may be made when we update our technology, add new providers, or when legal requirements change.
We will communicate material changes by displaying a notice on the vegasnova-casino-nz.com homepage or through a notification in your registered account. Continued use of the site following such notice constitutes acceptance of the updated terms, subject to any category preferences you have set in the consent management tool.
