Cookie Policy
KakapoArcade relies on cookies to enhance your experience. This policy describes which cookies we use, their purpose, and how you can manage them. We adhere to best practice by requiring your active consent before enabling non-essential cookies.
1. What are cookies?
Kakāpō Arcade places small text files called cookies on your device when you visit. These enable us to remember your preferences, maintain site functionality, and—where you've consented—track your usage and support our marketing.
A cookie can be set either by the site itself (first-party cookie) or by a third-party provider (third-party cookie).
2. Categories of cookies
2.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for Kakapo Arcade's core functionality and operate without requiring your consent.
- bnk_consent — remembers the cookie choice you have made so the banner does not appear on every visit. Retention: 12 months.
- **session-id** — a server-side session identifier. Retention: for the duration of the session.
2.2 Analytics cookies (optional)
We use analytics cookies only when you consent via the cookie banner, letting us track how visitors interact with the site so we can improve content and usability.
- _ga, _ga_*** (probable Google Analytics) — anonymised visitor statistics. Retention: up to 13 months.
If you do not accept analytics cookies, these will not be set in your browser.
2.3 Marketing cookies (optional)
Marketing cookies need your clear consent to deliver targeted advertising across platforms. Kakapo Arcade currently doesn't use marketing cookies. If that changes, we'll inform you first and update this privacy notice.
3. Giving and withdrawing consent
The first time you arrive at the site you will see a cookie banner with two choices:
- **'Accept all'** — agree to analytics and marketing cookies (if applicable).
- 'Essentials only' — only strictly necessary cookies are set.
Your browser stores this preference for 12 months. To alter it whenever you wish, clear the site's cookies and the banner reappears on your next visit.
4. Managing cookies in your browser
You can also manage cookies directly from your browser. In most browsers you can:
- view and delete stored cookies;
- block all cookies, or cookies from specific sites;
- set the browser to notify you when a cookie is set.
Guides for the most common browsers:
- **Chrome:** Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause issues with the site.
5. Retention
KakapoArcade's cookies operate on individual retention schedules as outlined above; our proprietary cookies persist for up to 12 months, whereas session cookies are removed upon browser closure.
6. Updates to this policy
We update this cookie policy as needed, particularly when we launch new services or legal requirements change. Material changes are announced on the site, with the most recent revision date shown at the top of this page.
