Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Removemove.ddd uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

In New Zealand, information collected through cookies (such as IP addresses and online identifiers) may constitute personal information under the Privacy Act 2020. We handle that information in accordance with the Information Privacy Principles (IPPs), particularly IPP 3 (collection from the individual concerned, including providing a collection notice).

1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. We also use similar technologies such as local storage (for example, to remember your cookie preferences). Cookies and similar tools help our site function, remember your choices, and — only where you agree — analyse how the site is used or support relevant content.

2. Agency Details

The agency responsible for personal information collected through cookies is:

Removemove.ddd
77 Tay Street, Invercargill 9810, New Zealand

Phone: +64 3 218 2989

3. Cookie Categories We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies and Storage

These are essential for the website to operate. They cannot be switched off through our cookie banner because the site would not function correctly without them. Under New Zealand privacy law, collection of personal information through these tools is limited to what is necessary for our legitimate website operations.

• tdde_cookie_consent (local storage) — Records your cookie preference choices so the banner does not reappear unnecessarily. Duration: until you clear your browser storage.
• Session cookies — Support basic site functionality during your visit. Duration: deleted when you close your browser.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are viewed, how long people stay, and general traffic patterns. They are placed only if you choose "Accept All" or enable Analytics in Cookie Settings.

• _ga, _gid (if enabled) — Google Analytics identifiers. Duration: up to 24 months.
• Purpose: Aggregate traffic analysis to improve content and usability. Data may be processed by Google on servers outside New Zealand — see Section 6.

3.3 Marketing Cookies

These cookies may be used to measure advertising effectiveness and deliver relevant content. They are placed only if you choose "Accept All" or enable Marketing in Cookie Settings.

• Marketing pixels (if enabled) — Track visits from advertising campaigns. Duration: up to 12 months.
• Purpose: Understand which channels bring visitors to our masterclass pages. We do not use marketing cookies to send unsolicited electronic messages — email marketing is governed separately under the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007.

4. How We Obtain Your Consent

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner gives you a clear choice:

• Accept All — Enables analytics and marketing cookies in addition to strictly necessary cookies.
• Decline — Only strictly necessary cookies and storage are used. Analytics and marketing cookies are not placed.
• Cookie Settings — Lets you turn analytics and marketing on or off individually. Strictly necessary cookies remain active.

We do not use pre-ticked boxes for optional cookies. Your choice is recorded in your browser's local storage. You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser storage for this site and making a new selection when you return, or by contacting us.

You can also manage or block cookies through your browser settings. Instructions are usually found under "Privacy", "Security", or "Cookies" in your browser's help menu. Blocking all cookies may affect site functionality.

5. Personal Information Collected via Cookies

Depending on which cookies are enabled, we or our service providers may collect:

• IP address (which may be considered personal information in New Zealand);
• browser and device information;
• pages visited and time spent on the site;
• referring website address;
• pseudonymous analytics identifiers.

We collect this information only for the purposes described in this policy and our Privacy Policy. We do not sell personal information collected through cookies.

6. Third-Party Cookies and Overseas Disclosure

Some cookies are set by third-party services, including:

• Google Analytics (if you consent to analytics cookies) — may process data in the United States or other countries. Google's privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.
• Google Maps (embedded on our contact page) — may set cookies when you interact with the map, regardless of our analytics settings. Google's terms and privacy policy apply.

Where personal information collected via cookies is disclosed overseas, we comply with IPP 12 of the Privacy Act 2020 by taking reasonable steps to ensure recipients protect your information with comparable safeguards. See our Privacy Policy for more detail on overseas disclosure.

7. Legal Framework

New Zealand: Our use of cookies is governed by the Privacy Act 2020 and its Information Privacy Principles. We provide clear notice about our use of cookies (IPP 3), collect information only for specified purposes (IPP 1), and obtain your informed consent before placing non-essential tracking cookies. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner provides guidance on online privacy and tracking technologies at www.privacy.org.nz.

European Economic Area: Where GDPR applies to visitors from the EEA, strictly necessary cookies are processed on the basis of legitimate interest. Analytics and marketing cookies are processed on the basis of your explicit consent, which you may withdraw at any time.

8. Retention

Cookie data is retained for the durations listed in Section 3, or until you delete cookies from your device. Consent preference records in local storage remain until you clear them or change your settings.

9. Your Rights

Under the Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to:

• request access to personal information we hold about you that was collected through cookies (IPP 6);
• request correction of inaccurate information (IPP 7);
• withdraw consent for optional cookies at any time;
• complain to us or to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner if you believe we have interfered with your privacy.

See our Privacy Policy for full details, including how to make a request and our 20-working-day response timeframe.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, our practices, or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows when the policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
