We are committed to transparency about the technologies we use and to respecting your privacy in accordance with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to site owners. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device for a set period or until you delete them) or "session-based" (deleted automatically when you close your browser).
In addition to traditional cookies, modern websites may use similar technologies such as browser local storage, session storage, and web beacons. These technologies serve comparable purposes and are subject to the same transparency principles outlined in this policy.
Sky Play Arcade uses a minimal number of cookies and local storage entries. We have deliberately designed our Site to function with as few cookies as possible, in keeping with our commitment to user privacy. Below is a detailed breakdown of the technologies we use, organised by category.
These are strictly necessary for the Site to function correctly. They enable basic features such as remembering your cookie consent preference and ensuring the Site operates as intended. Without these, certain parts of the Site may not work properly.
Essential cookies and local storage entries cannot be disabled without affecting the core functionality of the Site. They do not collect personal information and are not used for marketing or profiling purposes.
Functional cookies remember choices you make on the Site (such as display preferences or game settings) to provide a more personalised experience. At present, Sky Play Arcade does not use any functional cookies beyond the essential local storage entry described above. If we introduce functional cookies in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly, and you will be informed through our cookie consent mechanism.

When your browser requests font files from Google's servers, Google may log standard connection information (such as your IP address) in accordance with their own privacy policies. We do not control the data practices of Google or any other third-party provider. We encourage you to review Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy for details on how they handle data collected through their font delivery service.
Apart from Google Fonts, we do not embed any third-party scripts, widgets, social media plug-ins, or tracking pixels that could place cookies on your device. We do not use services such as Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, or any similar third-party tracking tools.
