3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary
These are required for the site to work (for example, storing your cookie consent). They do not require consent under New Zealand law but may involve limited technical data.

|---|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | localStorage | Stores your cookie category choices | Up to 12 months |
3.2 Analytics (Optional)
If you enable analytics in our cookie banner, we may use tools such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, approximate location, device type). These tools are only activated after you consent.
3.3 Marketing (Optional)
If you enable marketing cookies, we may use tags (for example, Google Ads conversion or remarketing pixels) to measure ad performance. These are only activated after you consent. You can withdraw consent at any time via the cookie banner.
4. Third-Party Resources
Even without optional cookies, loading some assets may cause third parties to receive technical data (such as IP address and browser type):
- Google Fonts — typography
- Font Awesome (cdnjs / Cloudflare) — icons
Each provider has its own privacy policy. We choose reputable providers and limit data collection where possible.

Blocking strictly necessary storage may prevent the consent banner from remembering your choice.
