Privacy Policy – Cosmo Casino (New Zealand)
This Privacy Policy explains in plain terms how Cosmo Casino, available at cosmocasinonz.shop, collects, uses, stores and protects your personal information when you visit our review pages, comparisons and guides about online casinos. By using our site you accept the practices described below, which are aligned with the GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and applicable New Zealand privacy law.
1) Who are we?
Cosmo Casino is an independent media/review site dedicated to online casino reviews, comparing offers and publishing editorial content. We do not operate gambling services directly; we provide information, analysis and external links to third-party operators. If you have any questions you can contact us by post at Tory Street, Palmerston North, New Zealand 6876 or by phone at +64 250935393, as well as by e-mail: support@.
2) Scope and legal basis for processing
We process personal data only when necessary:
- Legitimate interest: to ensure site security, prevent fraud and improve user experience.
- Consent: for storing non-essential cookies (analytics, personalisation, advertising) and for subscribing to our communications.
- Performance of a contract: when you request a specific service from us (for example, a response to a message).
- Legal obligation: limited retention of certain technical traces where required by law.
3) Categories of data collected
Depending on how you interact with Cosmo Casino, we may collect the following categories of data:
- Technical data: IP addresses (possibly masked), cookie identifiers, server logs, browser type/configuration, operating system, pages visited, time on site, referring URLs.
- Browsing data: display preferences, outbound clicks to third-party sites, load performance metrics.
- Contact data (optional): name, email, message content when you use a contact form or write to us at support@.
- Audience and attribution data (subject to consent): aggregated analytics metrics, campaigns, UTM parameters, event tags.
4) Purposes of use
We use data to:
- Operate and protect the site (detect anomalies, prevent abuse and spam).
- Measure audience and understand content use to improve our guides and comparisons.
- Personalise the experience (for example, remembering your language or cookie consent preferences).
- Respond to your enquiries submitted via our forms or to support@.
- Ensure legal compliance, record keeping and handling any disputes.
5) Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies strictly necessary for the site to function and, with your consent, cookies for analytics and personalisation. On your first visit a banner allows you to accept, reject or configure your choices. You can change preferences at any time via the consent manager in the footer.
Cookies help us to:
- Provide a smooth browsing experience (load balancing, security, storing preferences).
- Analyse audience data in aggregate to improve editorial quality and performance.
- Offer a personalised experience (if you consent).
6) Analytics tools and affiliate links
Analytics tools (hosted or third‑party) may be used to produce aggregated, anonymised statistics. Additionally, Cosmo Casino may publish affiliate links to licensed gambling operators. These links do not involve any payment processing by us; if you click them you will be redirected to a third‑party site whose own privacy policy applies. We encourage you to read those policies carefully.
7) Sharing and recipients of data
We do not sell your data. Possible recipients include:
- Technical providers (hosting, security, monitoring, analytics) acting as data processors and bound by contractual confidentiality and security obligations.
- Competent authorities only where required by law or court order.
8) Transfers outside the EU/EEA
If some providers operate outside the EU/EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place (for example, Standard Contractual Clauses) so that an adequate level of protection is maintained. Additional information can be provided on request.
9) Retention periods
We keep data for limited periods proportionate to the purposes:
- Analytics cookies: according to configured duration and/or until you withdraw consent.
- Technical logs: short technical retention needed for security and diagnostics.
- Contact messages: retained while we process your request, then archived for a limited time if necessary.
10) Information security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures (encryption in transit, server hardening, access controls, monitoring). Information is stored on secure servers and regularly updated. While no system can guarantee zero risk, we strive to protect your data to the highest practical standard.
11) Your rights
In accordance with GDPR and applicable data protection law, you have the following rights:
- Access to your data;
- Rectification of inaccurate data;
- Erasure ("right to be forgotten") within legal limits;
- Restriction of processing;
- Objection to processing based on legitimate interests;
- Portability of data you have provided;
- Withdrawal of consent at any time for processing based on consent.
12) Target audience and harm prevention
The content of Cosmo Casino is intended for an adult audience located in New Zealand. Gambling carries risk of loss and addiction; we encourage responsible behaviour and recommend seeking specialist help resources if needed.
13) Third‑party sites and liability
Our site contains links to third‑party platforms (operators, official resources, comparison tools). We have no control over their practices and cannot be held responsible for their content or security. Make sure to read their privacy policies and terms of use before providing personal information.
