Managing Cookies at LEON Bet NZ
Don't want to be tracked more than necessary? Then start here. First, the short answer for these pages: the LEON Bet NZ information site has no login, no payments, no analytics and no advertising cookies, so reading it involves no tracking. Cookies come into play once a link takes you to LEON Bet's platform. This policy covers the platform cookies that you can turn off without losing anything important, then covers the ones the site needs, and ends with step-by-step browser settings. The goal is that you can make a real, informed choice, not just click "accept" to make a banner disappear.
Which Cookies You Can Switch Off
On LEON Bet's platform, three groups of cookies are optional. Declining them does not stop you from logging in, betting or playing:
- Advertising and targeting cookies. These measure our campaigns and tailor offers you see on other websites. They are set only if you consent, and you can withdraw that consent whenever you want. This is the group to switch off if tracking is your main concern.
- Performance and analytics cookies. These count visits and show us which pages are slow or produce errors. Turning them off means your visits are left out of those statistics.
- Functionality cookies. These remember the language you prefer. Without them the site still works, but you may have to pick your language again on each visit.
Cookies That Must Stay On
Strictly necessary cookies are what make an account-based betting platform function. The terms of LEON Bet list the essentials plainly: authenticating your session, remembering your language and studying traffic so the site can be improved. They keep you signed in from page to page, hold your session securely, and let deposit forms, bet slips and games work. They cannot be switched off from within the site; if you remove them through your browser, you will be signed out (see "What Happens If You Block Everything" below).
Cookie Basics
For anyone new to the term: a cookie is a short text file stored by your browser on behalf of a website. Each time you return to the site, the browser returns the file, so the site can tell it has seen you, or your settings, before.
Cookies placed by the website you are visiting are called first-party cookies. Cookies placed by another company whose content appears on that website, such as a game studio or an analytics service, are third-party cookies. Both kinds can be session or persistent, and both are covered by the controls described below. Related technologies such as local storage and tracking pixels serve similar purposes and are treated the same way in this policy.
Expiry: Session Versus Persistent
Not every cookie stays for the same length of time:
| Type | Lifespan | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Session cookie | Deleted when you close the browser | Holding your login or a half-completed form during one visit |
| Persistent cookie | Kept until its set expiry date, which differs from cookie to cookie | Recognising you or your preferences on a later visit |
You can delete persistent cookies before they expire at any time through your browser.
Partners That Set Cookies
Some cookies come from companies other than LEON Bet. Game studios that supply casino titles often need their own cookies for a game to load and for your session and results to be recorded properly. Analytics providers set cookies that produce the platform's usage statistics, and advertising partners do so only where you have consented. Information from these cookies stays within a verified network of partners that work with us and is used only for the purpose each partner serves. It is not sold, and it is not passed to unrelated third parties — though, to be precise, it does reach the partners named here.
If you block third-party cookies and a particular game then refuses to start, the usual fix is to allow cookies for that game's provider in your browser settings, while leaving advertising cookies switched off.
Opting Out in Your Browser
Your browser gives you the final say over what is stored on your device. The exact wording differs between versions, but this is where to look:
| Browser | Where the controls are | What you can do there |
|---|---|---|
| Google Chrome | Settings → Privacy and security | Block third-party cookies, delete browsing data, adjust site settings for one site |
| Safari (Mac) | Safari Settings → Privacy | Manage website data, block all cookies |
| Safari (iPhone, iPad) | Settings app → Safari | Clear history and website data, block cookies |
| Mozilla Firefox | Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data | Manage or clear stored data; choose a tracking-protection level |
| Microsoft Edge | Settings → Cookies and site permissions, or Privacy, search, and services | Delete cookies and site data, clear browsing data, set tracking prevention |
Two shortcuts are worth knowing. A private or incognito window keeps cookies only until that window is closed, which is useful on a shared computer. And most browsers let you delete the cookies of a single website from the same settings page, so you can reset one site without signing out of all the others.
What Happens If You Block Everything
Before you set your browser to refuse all cookies, know the cost. With strictly necessary cookies blocked on LEON Bet's platform you will be logged out of your account and will not be able to log back in, and the cashier, promotions and parts of the game lobby may fail to load. Third-party blocking alone can also stop certain games from running. If you want to cut tracking but keep using LEON, refuse the optional categories instead and clear your cookies after each session.
Updates to This Policy
If this policy changes, the revised policy replaces this one and carries a new effective date. For a significant change, such as a new type of cookie, a notification is shown the next time you log in to LEON Bet.
