Cookie Policy

Effective Date: 1 June 2026

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how dmmit.com uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit this website. This policy is aligned with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and developments under the Privacy Amendment Act 2025 where they affect transparency and cross-border processing.

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to support core functionality, remember preferences, and improve site performance. Local storage keys may serve similar purposes for age verification and consent choices.

Types of cookies we use

• Necessary cookies for essential website operation
• Functional cookies for preferences and user experience
• Analytics/performance cookies for traffic and usage insights
• Marketing/targeting cookies for campaign measurement

Cookie management

You can manage, accept, or reject cookies in your browser and via our on-site banner. Disabling some cookies may affect website functionality. Non-essential cookies are used only in line with your choices where consent is required.

Third-party cookies

Some third-party providers may set their own cookies (for example analytics or advertising partners). Their processing is governed by their own policies. We apply Information Privacy Principle 3A (IPP3A) standards when assessing indirect collection via such tools.

International data transfers

If cookie-related data is transferred outside New Zealand, we apply safeguards required under applicable law, including contractual protections for cross-border flows.

Children's privacy

This website is intended for users aged 18 years or older.

Retention periods

Session cookies typically expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until you delete them. Consent and age-verification choices stored in local storage persist until you clear site data or we update our storage keys as part of a site revision. Analytics retention depends on provider configuration; we configure tools to minimise identifiable data where settings allow.

Your choices and browser controls

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through settings. Blocking all cookies may prevent the age gate or consent banner from remembering your choices, so you may see those prompts again on each visit. You can also use private browsing modes, though operators you visit separately may still set their own cookies under their policies.

Do Not Track and similar signals

Where browsers send optional preference signals, we assess them against current technical standards and legal guidance in New Zealand. We do not respond to every signal uniformly because industry practice is still evolving, but we limit non-essential tracking when you reject cookies through our banner.

Updates to this policy

We may revise this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, analytics providers, or legal requirements. The effective date at the top will change when material updates occur. We encourage you to review this page periodically, especially before opting into marketing or analytics categories after a prior rejection.
