What Are Cookies and Why This Page Exists
When you visit Dream Palace Casino, small text files called cookies are placed on your device. These files hold fragments of information that help the website recognise your browser on return visits, keep your session active while you play, and understand in general terms how people move through the site.
This Cookie Policy explains what types of cookies Dream Palace Casino uses, what each of them does, how long they stay on your device, and what choices you have about them. It applies to all visitors accessing the site from New Zealand, whether on desktop or mobile.
Dream Palace Casino is operated under a licence issued by the Malta Gaming Authority. As part of our licensing obligations and our commitment to transparent data practices consistent with New Zealand’s Privacy Act 2020, we are required to give you clear, plain-language information about how tracking technologies function on this platform.
Types of Cookies Used on Dream Palace Casino
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies keep the website working. Without them, you cannot log in to your Dream Palace Casino account, navigate between pages, or complete any transaction. They do not collect information used for marketing purposes, and they cannot be switched off without breaking core site functionality.
Examples of what strictly necessary cookies handle on this site:
- Maintaining your active session when you move between game pages
- Storing your authentication state so you remain logged in
- Remembering items in your session such as deposit amounts or active bonus selections
- Supporting fraud detection and security checks during login and payment processing
- Enforcing responsible gambling controls, including session time limits where applied
Because these cookies are essential to site operation, they are set automatically and are not subject to your consent. They are deleted either when you close your browser or after a short fixed period.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow Dream Palace Casino to remember choices you have made so the site behaves in a way that suits you. They do not track your browsing activity across other websites.
- Language and region preferences
- Your preferred display settings or lobby layout
- Whether you have acknowledged a particular notification or banner
- Auto-fill support for returning players at the login screen
These cookies persist for a set period after your visit, usually between 30 days and 12 months, depending on the specific cookie. You can disable them through your browser settings, though doing so may affect how the site behaves on your next visit.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies collect aggregated, anonymised information about how visitors use Dream Palace Casino. No individual player is identified through this data. The information is used to identify which parts of the platform perform well and which parts could be improved.
Specifically, these cookies help the team understand:
- Which pages receive the most traffic and at what times
- Where users tend to leave the site
- How long sessions typically last
- Whether errors or slow load times occur on particular devices or connection types
- How visitors arrive at the site (search engine, direct link, referral)
Dream Palace Casino uses Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics sets its own cookies and processes data according to Google’s privacy framework. Where applicable, IP anonymisation is enabled so that no full IP address is stored. The retention period for Google Analytics data is 14 months by default.
Marketing and Targeting Cookies
These cookies are used to show you relevant promotional content, both on Dream Palace Casino and on third-party websites where advertising is served. They track whether you have visited the site before and help ensure that you do not see the same advertisement repeated excessively.
Marketing cookies may be set by Dream Palace Casino directly or by trusted advertising partners. Information gathered by these cookies may be shared with those partners for the purpose of showing you tailored offers related to online gaming in New Zealand.
In line with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to opt out of marketing cookies at any time. Instructions for doing so are provided in the section below.
Third-Party Cookies
Some features on Dream Palace Casino are delivered by third-party service providers. These parties may set their own cookies on your device when you interact with their embedded content or tools. Dream Palace Casino does not have direct control over third-party cookies, and each provider operates under their own privacy and data retention policies.
Third-party services that may place cookies through the Dream Palace Casino platform include:
- Payment processors used for deposits and withdrawals
- Live chat and customer support providers
- Game software studios whose titles are embedded in the lobby
- Responsible gambling tools integrated into the platform
- Social media plugins if you connect accounts or share content
We encourage you to review the cookie and privacy policies of any third-party provider whose services you actively use through this site.
Cookie Retention Periods
Cookies on Dream Palace Casino fall into two broad categories based on how long they remain on your device:
- Session cookies exist only while your browser is open. They are removed automatically when you close your tab or window. Most authentication and session management cookies fall into this category.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device after the browser is closed, for a defined period ranging from a few days to up to 24 months. Analytics, functional, and marketing cookies are typically persistent. Each cookie has its own expiry date set at the time it is placed.
Your Cookie Choices and How to Manage Them
Consent and the Cookie Banner
On your first visit to dream-palace-casino-nz.com, a cookie consent notice is displayed. This banner allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or adjust your preferences by category. Your selection is saved and applied for future visits. You can revisit and change your preferences at any time.
Browser-Level Controls
Every major browser includes built-in tools that let you view, block, or delete cookies. The steps vary slightly depending on which browser you use:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari (macOS and iOS): Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies
Blocking all cookies through your browser will prevent Dream Palace Casino from functioning correctly. Strictly necessary cookies are required for login, session management, and payment processing. If you block these, you will not be able to access your account.
Opting Out of Analytics
You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits by installing the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This tool works across all websites that use Google Analytics and does not affect your ability to browse Dream Palace Casino normally.
Opting Out of Targeted Advertising
If you prefer not to receive interest-based advertising from third-party networks, you can manage your preferences through the following platforms:
- Your Online Choices (for members of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance network)
- Network Advertising Initiative Opt-Out Tool
Opting out of targeted advertising does not mean you will stop seeing ads for Dream Palace Casino. It means those ads will no longer be tailored based on your browsing behaviour.
Cookies and Responsible Gambling Obligations
Dream Palace Casino takes its responsible gambling obligations seriously. Certain cookies on this platform exist specifically to support player protection measures required under our Malta Gaming Authority licence and consistent with New Zealand’s broader consumer protection framework.
These include cookies that:
- Track active session duration to enforce voluntary time limits set by players
- Store self-exclusion status so that excluded players cannot bypass restrictions by clearing standard site data
- Monitor deposit amounts within a session to support limit-setting tools
- Flag accounts where reality check reminders have been enabled
Because these functions exist to protect players, the cookies that support them are treated as strictly necessary and cannot be disabled independently of the responsible gambling tools they underpin.
Children and Cookie Data
Dream Palace Casino is strictly an adults-only platform. No person under the age of 18 may register, play, or access real-money features. Our registration process includes age verification steps, and cookies associated with verified adult accounts are not used to collect or process data relating to minors in any way.
If you believe that a person under 18 has accessed this site and cookies have been set on a shared device, you can clear all cookies through your browser settings at any time using the steps described above.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
Dream Palace Casino may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, applicable law, or the way we operate the platform. When material changes are made, returning visitors will be asked to review and re-confirm their cookie preferences where consent is required. Continued use of the site following any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy in relation to cookies that do not require explicit consent.
