Cookie Policy for 7Bit
Last updated: 25 February 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how 7Bit uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you access or use the online casino services provided through 7Bit (“the Website”). It describes the types of cookies we use, the purposes for which we use them, and how you can control their use in accordance with applicable laws in New Zealand. This Cookie Policy forms an integral part of, and should be read together with, our main Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how 7Bit processes personal information, your rights as a user in New Zealand, and our broader data protection practices. By consulting this Cookie Policy, users of 7Bit can better understand how cookie-based technologies support gameplay, enhance security, enable responsible gaming tools, and help us to comply with regulatory and industry requirements that apply to online casino operations.
In preparing this Cookie Policy, 7Bit has taken into account New Zealand’s Privacy Act 2020, the Information Privacy Principles, and relevant guidance issued by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner, as well as international best practices on cookie transparency. While New Zealand does not impose a specific “cookie consent” regime identical to the GDPR, we voluntarily adopt a high standard of disclosure and choice regarding cookies used on 7Bit in order to remain transparent with our players and visitors. This means we explain what information cookies collect, whether that information constitutes personal information, and how it is combined with other data about your account. By continuing to use 7Bit after having been presented with our cookie banner and settings, you acknowledge that you have read this Cookie Policy and consent to the use of cookies as described here.
If you do not agree with the practices described in this Cookie Policy, you should adjust your browser or device settings to manage cookies or refrain from using the services offered through 7Bit. Please note, however, that certain cookies are strictly necessary for the functioning of our online casino, and disabling them may compromise your ability to access your account, place bets, play games, or make secure payments. This Cookie Policy applies to all visitors, registered players, and any other individuals who interact with 7Bit, regardless of their location, with specific emphasis on users who are resident or located in New Zealand.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website such as 7Bit. These files are stored in your browser’s memory or on the device’s hard drive and contain data that can later be read by our systems or by the systems of selected third parties. Cookies typically contain identifiers such as a unique cookie ID, the name of the domain that set the cookie, and a numerical value or timestamp. At 7Bit, cookies help the Website remember your preferences, authenticate your account, maintain your session during gameplay, and deliver a secure and personalized casino experience.
On 7Bit, we use both session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporary files that exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. These cookies enable essential functionality, such as keeping you logged in as you move between pages, updating balances, and applying game settings during a single visit. Persistent cookies, by contrast, remain on your device for a predetermined period, even after you close your browser, unless you delete them manually. They enable features such as remembering your login preferences, language choice, device type, and responsible gaming settings so that you do not need to reconfigure them every time you visit 7Bit.
Cookies can collect different types of information, some of which may be regarded as personal information under New Zealand’s Privacy Act 2020 when it relates to an identifiable individual. For instance, cookies may log your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, approximate location, date and time of access, and pages or games visited. While many cookies on 7Bit do not directly identify you as a person, they can still be linked to your player account when you are logged in, which allows us to provide personalized content, promotions, and responsible gaming tools. Our use of cookies is always governed by principles of necessity, proportionality, and fairness, and we limit the scope of tracking to what is required to run and optimize the online casino.
Cookies are only one category of tracking technology that may be used on 7Bit. We may also use related technologies such as web beacons, pixels, local storage, SDKs, and device fingerprinting methods that serve similar purposes. For simplicity, this Cookie Policy refers to all such technologies collectively as “cookies,” even if they do not involve the placement of traditional text files on your device. Whenever these technologies are used on 7Bit, they are subject to the same level of transparency and control described in this Cookie Policy. Our aim is to ensure that users based in New Zealand, or accessing the site from New Zealand, have a clear understanding of how their online behaviour on 7Bit can be measured and analysed by means of cookies.
2. How We Use Cookies
7Bit uses cookies on 7Bit for several core purposes: to operate the Website effectively, to secure your account and transactions, to remember your preferences, to measure performance, and to tailor our marketing communications in a way that is relevant and responsible. When you sign in to your player account, cookies allow us to authenticate you and maintain your session so that you do not need to re-enter your login credentials on every page. This authentication function is particularly important in an online casino environment, where real-money balances and bonus funds must be accurately updated as you navigate between games, banking pages, and account settings. Cookies also enable us to implement responsible gaming tools that track session duration and provide reminders or limits based on your chosen settings.
From a security perspective, cookies help 7Bit verify that requests to 7Bit originate from your browser and not from automated bots or malicious scripts. For example, we may use cookies to track repeated failed login attempts, to identify unusual device or IP address combinations, and to trigger additional verification measures when suspicious activity is detected. Many of these security and anti-fraud cookies are essential for the integrity of our platform and for complying with our obligations to protect players and prevent misuse of the site. Moreover, by using security cookies, we are better able to monitor potential risks and respond quickly in the event of attempted account takeovers or fraudulent payment activities.
Preference cookies are employed to store your choices and customisations on 7Bit, such as language, time zone, display settings, and whether you wish to receive certain types of onsite notifications. These cookies improve your overall experience because the Website can adapt to your profile rather than present a generic interface each time you log in. For responsible gaming, preference cookies can also remember your selected session reminders, deposit limits, or self-exclusion tools, helping us to uphold your chosen limits across visits. Without such cookies, you might have to repeat these configurations, and our ability to support responsible gaming initiatives would be reduced.
Analytical cookies allow 7Bit to understand how visitors and players interact with 7Bit. They collect aggregated and pseudonymised data that helps us identify which pages are most popular, how long users stay on a given page, which games attract the most engagement, and where technical issues or slow loading times may occur. We rely on these insights to improve the Website’s performance, enhance navigation, optimise game offerings, and ensure that our online casino remains reliable and user-friendly for New Zealand users. Analytical cookies may be provided either by 7Bit or by trusted third-party analytics partners in accordance with strict data protection measures.
Marketing and targeting cookies are used to deliver promotions and advertisements that are more likely to be relevant to your interests. On 7Bit, these cookies help us present welcome offers, loyalty rewards, game-specific bonuses, and other campaign content that aligns with your playing history and declared preferences, always subject to responsible marketing standards applicable to online gambling. These cookies may also limit the number of times you see the same advertisement, measure the effectiveness of our campaigns, and allow us to refine our communications strategy for users in New Zealand. We recognise that marketing cookies have a more pronounced impact on privacy; therefore, we offer users additional control over whether such cookies are enabled.
3. Categories of Cookies Used
7Bit categorises the cookies used on 7Bit into four primary groups: Essential cookies, Functional cookies, Analytical cookies, and Marketing cookies. These categories reflect the purpose and necessity of each cookie type and are intended to help you make informed decisions about cookie settings. While some categories are mandatory for the core operation of our online casino, others are optional and can be declined or restricted using browser controls and any consent tools provided on the Website:
Essential cookies are those that are strictly necessary for the Website to function properly. They enable fundamental features such as logging in, navigating between secure areas, maintaining session integrity, processing transactions, and applying security measures against fraud and abuse. Without essential cookies, 7Bit cannot provide you with the core online casino services you request. Due to their indispensable role in the functioning of the site, these cookies cannot typically be disabled via standard cookie preference tools, although you may still be able to block or delete them through your browser settings (recognising that doing so will severely impact your experience and may prevent you from using 7Bit at all).
Functional cookies enhance the ease of use and personalisation of 7Bit. They remember settings such as language, currency preference where applicable, display layouts, sound levels in games, and whether you have seen certain informational messages. Functional cookies may also help maintain responsible gaming configurations, including your session timers and limit preferences, so that these apply consistently across visits. While not strictly essential, these cookies significantly improve usability and convenience, and disabling them may result in a less personalised and more repetitive experience every time you use 7Bit to access casino games and services.
Analytical cookies are used to gather aggregated statistical data about how users interact with 7Bit. They may track metrics such as the number of visitors from New Zealand, the pages or games most frequently accessed, the devices and browsers used, and how users arrive at the Website (for example, via search engines or referral links). This data is used to monitor overall performance, identify technical issues, evaluate new features, and understand player engagement trends. While analytical cookies often rely on third-party technologies, 7Bit ensures that these providers treat the collected information in accordance with contractual safeguards and applicable privacy laws, and we typically receive only anonymised or pseudonymised reporting.
Marketing cookies, sometimes referred to as advertising or targeting cookies, help us deliver tailored promotional content on 7Bit and, in some cases, on third-party platforms. For instance, marketing cookies may allow us to show you promotions related to games you have recently played, or to highlight new features that may be relevant to your profile. They also help us measure the effectiveness of campaigns by tracking impressions, clicks, and conversions, without directly revealing your identity to external advertisers. Because marketing cookies have a greater impact on your privacy expectations, they are typically not activated unless you have provided consent through the cookie banner or your browser settings, particularly when you first visit 7Bit from New Zealand.
The table below provides a high-level overview of the principal categories of cookies used by 7Bit and the purposes they serve on 7Bit:
| Cookie category | Typical examples of use | Is it essential for 7Bit? | Types of data processed | Example duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Login authentication, session management, payment processing, security checks | Yes, required to operate core online casino functions | Encrypted login ID, session ID, basic device and security flags | Session-only or up to several hours |
| Functional | Language settings, display preferences, responsible gaming reminders, saved choices | No, but strongly recommended for a smooth experience | Preference identifiers, chosen language, UI configuration, responsible gaming options | Several days to several months |
| Analytical | Traffic statistics, game performance metrics, error tracking, heatmap analysis | No, optional but helpful for service improvement | Pseudonymised user IDs, page views, click paths, device type, approximate location | Between one session and up to 24 months |
| Marketing | Promotion personalisation, campaign measurement, retargeting restrictions | No, optional and subject to consent | Unique advertising IDs, promotion views and clicks, campaign attribution data | Several weeks to 24 months depending on campaign |
4. First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
Cookies used on 7Bit can originate from two main sources: first-party cookies set directly by 7Bit and third-party cookies set by external partners whose services are integrated into our online casino. Understanding the distinction between these two categories is important for assessing how your data is shared and for exercising control over cookies via browser and device settings.
First-party cookies are stored by the domain brockhallfarm.com and are primarily managed and controlled by 7Bit. These cookies include essential and functional cookies for authentication, security, session maintenance, responsible gaming features, as well as some analytical cookies used to generate internal performance reports. Because first-party cookies are set by 7Bit itself, we have direct control over their configuration, lifespan, and the information they store. We design first-party cookies to collect no more information than necessary for their intended purpose and to comply with New Zealand privacy requirements and our own internal data protection policies.
Third-party cookies are placed by domains other than brockhallfarm.com when you interact with content or technologies integrated into 7Bit. For example, we may use third-party analytics providers such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the Website, game studios that integrate their content and related tracking, or payment service providers that assist in secure transaction processing and fraud prevention. These third-party partners may set their own cookies to recognise your device when you visit our Website and, in some cases, when you visit other websites that use the same services. While these third-party cookies help us run and improve the online casino, they are subject to the respective providers’ privacy and cookie policies.
7Bit enters into contractual arrangements with third-party providers to ensure that any cookies they set on 7Bit are used only for clearly defined purposes, such as analytics, game performance optimisation, security, or verified marketing campaigns. Where personal information is processed through third-party cookies, we require that partners implement appropriate safeguards, including data minimisation, access limitations, and secure storage. In some cases, data collected via third-party cookies may be transferred outside New Zealand; where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure that such transfers comply with relevant New Zealand privacy requirements and reflect appropriate levels of protection.
When it comes to consent and control, 7Bit respects your ability to manage both first-party and third-party cookies. While you cannot disable strictly necessary first-party cookies if you wish to use key aspects of the service, you may restrict or block many third-party analytical and marketing cookies through your browser or device settings. Additionally, certain third-party providers offer their own opt-out mechanisms, particularly in relation to analytics and online advertising. We encourage you to consult the privacy and cookie notices of these third parties for further information about how they use cookies and how you can exercise your choices across different online services beyond 7Bit.
5. Security and Anti-Fraud Cookies
Security and anti-fraud cookies are a subset of essential cookies that play a critical role in safeguarding your account, your funds, and the integrity of 7Bit. Because 7Bit operates as an online casino platform, we must apply robust security measures to protect against unauthorised access, account takeover attempts, payment fraud, bonus abuse, and other forms of malicious behaviour. These protective measures rely on cookies to recognise legitimate sessions, detect anomalies in login patterns, and ensure that critical account operations are conducted by authorised users only.
When you log in to 7Bit, security cookies record information about your session, such as a session token, your browser type, and approximate device details. This enables us to verify that subsequent requests during a session come from the same environment and have not been hijacked by a third party. If unusual behaviour is detected, such as simultaneous logins from different geographic regions or rapid, automated requests typical of bots, security cookies help us flag the session for additional scrutiny, temporarily suspend certain operations, or require further verification steps. These mechanisms contribute significantly to the protection of users in New Zealand and globally who rely on 7Bit to conduct real-money gaming activities.
Anti-fraud cookies are additionally used to monitor patterns of transactions and gameplay that may indicate attempts to exploit the system or bypass our terms and conditions. For example, cookies may help identify repeated creation of new accounts from the same device or IP address, irregular deposit and withdrawal behaviour, or interactions with restricted software tools designed to manipulate game outcomes. By linking this data with internal risk models, 7Bit can detect potential fraud earlier and take appropriate action, such as requesting further documentation, blocking suspicious transactions, or reporting concerns to relevant partners or authorities where required.
Security cookies may occasionally be provided by trusted third-party security and payment partners who specialise in fraud detection and risk scoring. In these cases, the cookies help cross-reference device and transaction information against known patterns of fraudulent behaviour across multiple platforms, thereby enhancing the level of protection offered on 7Bit. Any personal information processed via such cookies is handled in accordance with New Zealand privacy standards and relevant contractual commitments, and is not used for unrelated marketing or profiling activities. Our objective is always to use security and anti-fraud cookies proportionately, targeting genuine risks while minimising unnecessary intrusion into users’ privacy.
Because these cookies are vital to the safety of 7Bit and its users, they are normally classified as essential and cannot be fully disabled if you wish to make use of core online casino services. Disabling or blocking security cookies through your browser may prevent you from logging in, completing transactions, or accessing certain account features, and may force us to limit your access to 7Bit to preserve security for all users. We strongly recommend that you allow security and anti-fraud cookies if you intend to create or maintain a player account on 7Bit.
6. Analytical Tools
7Bit uses analytical tools and related cookies to better understand how visitors interact with 7Bit and to continuously improve the performance, reliability, and usability of our online casino services. These analytical tools record aggregated and pseudonymised data about site usage, enabling us to identify trends, diagnose technical issues, and optimise our game portfolio and user interface. While analytics cookies may not always be strictly required for the operation of the Website, they are extremely valuable in ensuring that our services remain efficient and responsive for users in New Zealand and beyond.
Analytics cookies on 7Bit may collect information such as the pages you visit, the time spent on each page, navigation paths, clicks and interactions with buttons or game tiles, error messages encountered, and performance indicators such as page loading times. They may also note your device type (for example, mobile, tablet, desktop), operating system, browser version, screen resolution, and approximate geographic location based on IP address. Importantly, this information is typically processed in aggregated form and does not aim to identify you as an individual; rather, it helps us understand how large groups of users behave so we can enhance our offerings accordingly.
Some analytical tools may include heatmaps and session recordings, which visually represent how users move their cursor, tap, scroll, or navigate through 7Bit. These techniques enable our product and UX teams to see which parts of a page attract the most attention, whether important buttons are easy to find, and where users may encounter friction during registration, deposit, or gameplay. In implementing these tools, 7Bit takes care to avoid capturing sensitive fields such as passwords or full payment details. Any recording that may inadvertently contain personal information is handled securely and, where feasible, anonymised or masked.
Third-party analytics providers, such as Google Analytics or comparable services, may set their own cookies on 7Bit to perform these measurements on our behalf. These third-party cookies generate reports that we use to monitor traffic patterns, player acquisition sources, conversion rates, performance of responsible gaming features, and overall health of the platform. We review these reports to ensure that 7Bit remains stable and accessible for New Zealand users, to test new features, and to improve load times and responsiveness across different devices. In line with New Zealand privacy principles, we work with analytics providers that offer data protection guarantees and allow us to configure settings such as IP anonymisation where appropriate.
Participation in analytics is, in many cases, optional. Depending on your browser, device settings, and potential controls offered on 7Bit, you may be able to restrict certain analytical cookies while still accessing essential features of the online casino. However, limiting analytics may reduce our ability to identify performance issues specific to your context and may slightly delay improvements tailored to your device type or connection quality. By keeping analytics enabled, you support 7Bit in making informed choices about upgrades, game integrations, and responsible gaming tools that ultimately enhance the experience for the New Zealand player community.
7. Advertising and Targeting
Advertising and targeting cookies are used on 7Bit to present promotions, bonuses, and communications that are aligned with your interests and playing profile, always subject to responsible gambling and advertising rules. These cookies enable 7Bit to refine which offers appear to you on the Website, in banners, or in selected external channels, while avoiding repetitive or irrelevant messaging. For example, if you regularly play a particular type of slot game, marketing cookies may help us highlight similar new releases or targeted tournaments, rather than displaying generic promotions that may be less appealing to you.
On 7Bit, marketing cookies may track whether you have seen a specific promotional banner, whether you clicked on it, and whether you subsequently engaged with the advertised feature or game. This allows 7Bit to measure campaign effectiveness, allocate marketing resources responsibly, and comply with advertising guidelines aimed at preventing misleading or excessive promotion of gambling services. Importantly, marketing cookies do not grant external advertisers unrestricted access to your personal information. Instead, they rely on unique identifiers and aggregated metrics that help us and our selected partners evaluate performance without disclosing your account details.
In some instances, 7Bit may collaborate with advertising partners or affiliates who place tracking cookies or pixels to understand how users arrive at 7Bit and how referral campaigns perform. These cookies may record that you came to the Website from a particular affiliate link, marketing email, or advertisement and may credit that referral source accordingly. They can also be used to prevent fraud in affiliate programs by ensuring that commissions are based on genuine, unique registrations from New Zealand or other approved jurisdictions. Such use of cookies is subject to specific contractual obligations that limit the partners’ use of data and require adherence to privacy standards.
Because marketing and targeting cookies are more intrusive in terms of profiling and personalised advertising, 7Bit treats them as optional and, where required, subject to your consent. You may be able to opt out of certain marketing cookies via browser settings, operating system preferences, or dedicated opt-out links offered by specific advertising networks. However, please note that opting out of targeting cookies does not eliminate all forms of advertising; it simply means that you will receive more generic, less tailored promotional content both on 7Bit and in other online spaces where we advertise. Your decision to enable or disable these cookies does not affect your eligibility to receive important service-related communications from 7Bit, such as updates to this Cookie Policy or essential account notifications.
8. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have the ability to manage, restrict, or delete cookies stored on your device when using 7Bit. While certain essential cookies are required to provide you with core online casino services, many other cookies can be controlled through your browser settings or, where available, the cookie management tools presented on the Website. It is your responsibility to familiarise yourself with these controls and to configure them in line with your preferences, bearing in mind that disabling cookies may affect functionality and your overall experience on 7Bit.
Most web browsers used in New Zealand provide settings that allow you to view, block, or delete cookies from specific websites or from all websites you visit. These settings are typically found in sections labelled “Privacy,” “Security,” or “Site Settings” within the browser’s options or preferences menu. You can usually instruct your browser to block new cookies, to notify you before a cookie is stored, or to delete existing cookies at regular intervals or on demand. By adjusting these settings in relation to brockhallfarm.com, you can limit the placement of non-essential cookies while retaining those that are necessary to log in, play games, and manage payments securely on 7Bit.
In addition to browser-level controls, some operating systems and mobile platforms offer centralised privacy settings that influence how apps and mobile browsers handle cookies and similar identifiers. For instance, certain mobile devices allow you to reset advertising IDs, limit ad tracking, or restrict background data collection. If you use 7Bit via a mobile browser or a dedicated mobile interface, configuring these settings can have an impact on how marketing and analytical cookies are used in connection with your account. You should consult the documentation for your specific device or operating system to understand the options available.
When 7Bit provides its own cookie banner or preference centre on 7Bit, you may be able to grant or withdraw consent to certain cookie categories directly from our interface. Such tools typically distinguish between essential cookies, which cannot be disabled if you wish to use the online casino, and optional cookies such as analytics and marketing. By updating your preferences in this panel, you can fine-tune which cookies are active during your sessions on 7Bit without having to change settings at the browser level. However, please note that changes made through our preference tools may rely on a small number of cookies to remember your choices.
Here is a general overview of where cookie settings may be found in popular browsers commonly used to access 7Bit:
| Browser | Typical path to cookie settings | Notes on management |
|---|---|---|
| Google Chrome | Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data | Allows blocking third-party cookies, clearing browsing data, and setting site-specific rules for brockhallfarm.com |
| Mozilla Firefox | Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data | Offers enhanced tracking protection and options to manage cookies and cached web content |
| Safari (macOS) | Preferences > Privacy | Provides options to block all cookies, manage website data, and remove cookies related to brockhallfarm.com |
| Microsoft Edge | Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data | Enables control over third-party cookies, per-site permissions, and clearing of cookies |
The exact steps for managing cookies may vary depending on browser version and device type. You should always refer to the most recent help pages provided by your browser developer to ensure accuracy. Remember that if you delete cookies related to 7Bit, you may lose saved settings, preferences, and responsible gaming configurations, and you will likely be required to log in again before accessing your account.
9. Mobile Device Tracking
When you access 7Bit from a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet, we may use cookies and similar technologies adapted for the mobile environment. These technologies help ensure that the mobile version of 7Bit functions properly, loads efficiently over mobile networks, and remembers key settings such as your preferred language, responsible gaming timeouts, and interface layout. Although the underlying principles are similar to desktop cookies, mobile tracking may rely more heavily on device identifiers, local storage, or app-specific tokens, especially if you access 7Bit through a dedicated mobile interface.
On mobile browsers, 7Bit may store cookies in the same way as on desktop browsers, using temporary and persistent files managed by the browser. These cookies support essential functions such as logging in, maintaining secure sessions during gameplay, and updating balances and transaction histories in real time. They also enable analytical measurements of how mobile users in New Zealand navigate 7Bit, which games are most popular on smaller screens, and where interface adjustments are needed to improve tap and scroll experiences. Our goal is to provide an equivalent level of functionality and security across both desktop and mobile access points.
If 7Bit offers a mobile app or app-like experience, we may employ mobile SDKs and in-app tracking tools that serve similar purposes to cookies but are implemented through the app’s code. These technologies may use advertising IDs or device identifiers made available by your operating system (such as Android’s Advertising ID or Apple’s Identifier for Advertisers) to support analytics, debugging, security, and responsible marketing communications. In compliance with New Zealand privacy expectations and platform policies, these identifiers can usually be reset or limited through your device’s privacy and advertising settings, giving you additional control over mobile tracking.
Responsible gaming remains a key consideration on mobile devices. 7Bit may use mobile-related cookies and identifiers to track the duration of your playing sessions, to show you reminders or limit notifications when you approach self-imposed thresholds, and to enforce time-based restrictions on gameplay if you have activated such features. These mechanisms are crucial for ensuring that responsible gaming tools remain effective regardless of whether you access 7Bit from a desktop, laptop, or mobile device. We design such tracking to focus on safety and compliance, not on unnecessary profiling beyond what is required for responsible operations.
As with desktop browsing, you can manage cookies and similar technologies on mobile by adjusting your browser’s or device’s privacy and security settings. You may choose to clear cookies, restrict background data, or limit ad tracking, which may reduce the extent of mobile analytics and marketing activities associated with your use of 7Bit. However, please note that disabling essential mobile tracking could affect the stability of the app or mobile site, potentially interrupting gameplay or preventing secure login on 7Bit.
10. Data Retention
The duration for which cookies remain on your device when using 7Bit depends on whether they are session cookies or persistent cookies, as well as the specific purpose they serve. Data retention in relation to cookies is guided by principles of necessity and proportionality: 7Bit retains cookie-based identifiers only for as long as needed to achieve the relevant function, such as maintaining a session, remembering preferences, or performing aggregated analytics. Once the retention period expires, cookies are either automatically deleted or rendered inactive, though you may delete them manually at any time via your browser or device settings:
- Session cookies on 7Bit are designed to last only until you close your browser or end your session. These cookies typically handle functions like login authentication, temporary security checks, and short-term game state management. When you close your browser window or log out of your account, these cookies should be removed automatically from your device. They are not intended to persist between visits, and they do not continue to track your activities once your session with 7Bit has ended.
- Persistent cookies, by contrast, remain on your device for a longer, predefined period, which may range from a few days to several months or, in some cases, up to two years for certain analytics or marketing identifiers. For example, preference cookies that remember your chosen language or responsible gaming limits may have a longer lifespan so that these choices can be applied consistently whenever you return to 7Bit.
- Analytical cookies that track recurring visits or long-term usage patterns may also be set to remain active for longer durations to allow us to identify trends over time. Marketing cookies may retain identifiers for the duration of a specific campaign or for a defined period needed for campaign reporting and frequency capping.
7Bit periodically reviews the retention periods associated with cookies used on 7Bit and adjusts them as necessary to reflect changes in business needs, technology, and legal requirements in New Zealand and other relevant jurisdictions. Where possible, we favour shorter retention periods and aggregated or anonymised data that minimises privacy risks while still permitting meaningful analysis. Any personal information derived from cookie activity may also be subject to additional retention rules described in our Privacy Policy, particularly when it is linked to your account or used in connection with legal obligations such as anti-money laundering or dispute resolution.
You retain the option to delete cookies from your device at any time before their scheduled expiry by using your browser or device controls. Doing so will remove those identifiers immediately and stop further data collection associated with them. However, note that this may also reset preferences and responsible gaming settings stored via cookies on 7Bit, and may alter the appearance and functionality of the Website during your next visit to 7Bit.
11. Impact of Disabling Cookies
Disabling or restricting cookies on 7Bit can have a significant impact on your ability to use the services provided by 7Bit and may affect the quality, speed, and reliability of your experience. Because many aspects of an online casino rely on real-time session management, secure authentication, and accurate tracking of balances and game states, essential cookies are deeply integrated into the technical foundation of the Website. If you choose to block essential cookies at the browser or device level, it may become impossible for 7Bit to recognise your login, maintain a stable session, process transactions, or apply your responsible gaming preferences.
Even when you disable only non-essential cookies, such as certain functional, analytical, or marketing cookies, you may notice changes in how 7Bit operates. For example, without functional cookies, the Website may no longer remember your preferred language, game settings, or interface layouts, requiring you to configure these options each time you log in. Some responsible gaming reminders or session limit tools that rely on persistent identifiers may not operate as consistently, which could reduce the effectiveness of the safeguards you have chosen. 7Bit designs these tools to operate as robustly as possible, but some level of cookie functionality is often necessary for reliable behaviour.
Disabling analytical cookies may limit our ability to detect and resolve technical issues specific to your environment. We may find it more difficult to identify slow loading pages, game glitches, or errors that occur on certain devices used by New Zealand players if we cannot collect aggregated performance data. While you will still be able to play games and use the core services in many cases, improvements and bug fixes may take longer to implement or may be less tailored to your particular usage patterns on 7Bit.
If you turn off marketing and targeting cookies, you will continue to see offers and promotions on 7Bit, but they may be less relevant to your interests or gameplay history. Instead of seeing tailored bonuses or game recommendations, you may encounter more generic banners and campaigns designed for a broad audience. Additionally, 7Bit’s ability to measure which promotions resonate with New Zealand users and to refine responsible marketing strategies will be more limited, possibly resulting in a less optimised promotional environment.
Ultimately, the decision to manage cookies remains yours. However, because cookies and similar technologies are integral to the secure and efficient operation of 7Bit, we recommend that you carefully consider the consequences of disabling them and, where possible, use more granular controls (for example, allowing essential and functional cookies while restricting marketing cookies) rather than blocking all cookies from 7Bit.
12. Updates to This Policy
7Bit may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the cookies we use, the technologies integrated into 7Bit, or applicable legal and regulatory requirements in New Zealand and other relevant jurisdictions. Technological developments in online gaming, analytics, and security mean that new types of cookies or similar tools may be introduced, while older tools may be removed or updated. Whenever we make material changes to this Cookie Policy, we will take reasonable steps to inform you so that you remain aware of how cookies affect your use of 7Bit.
Changes to this Cookie Policy will be published on 7Bit with an updated “Last updated” date at the top of the document. In the case of significant modifications—for example, the introduction of new categories of cookies, expansion of third-party analytics or advertising partnerships, or changes in how we request and record cookie consent—we may also provide additional notices. Such notices may appear via prominent banners on the Website, within your account dashboard, or via electronic communications where appropriate and permitted.
We encourage users in New Zealand to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies on 7Bit. Your continued use of the Website following the publication of any updates will be taken as your acknowledgment of the revised Cookie Policy, subject to any additional consent mechanisms required by law. If you do not agree with the updated version, you should adjust your cookie settings or discontinue your use of 7Bit.
In addition to updating this Cookie Policy, 7Bit may revise related documents, including the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions, to ensure consistency across our legal and informational materials. We strive to maintain a transparent, comprehensive picture of how your data, including cookie-derived data, is processed when you use 7Bit, particularly given the sensitivity and regulatory attention that accompanies online casino services.
13. Contact Information
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Cookie Policy, the cookies used on 7Bit, or your privacy rights as a user in New Zealand, you are encouraged to contact 7Bit through our designated support channels.
