1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make websites work more efficiently, to improve the user experience, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies are set either by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website (known as "third-party cookies"). Cookies can be stored on your device for varying periods of time:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire and are automatically deleted as soon as you close your browser. They are used to support your journey through the website during a single visit.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device after your browser is closed, for a duration specified in the cookie itself. They allow the website to remember your preferences and settings on your next visit.

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs"), local storage objects, and tracking scripts. Throughout this Cookie Policy, all of these technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies" for ease of reading.

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use cookies for a variety of purposes on the Mirequessianroyalstay website. These purposes include, but are not limited to:

  • Ensuring that our website functions correctly and securely.
  • Remembering your preferences and settings for a more personalised experience.
  • Analysing how visitors use our website so we can improve its content and functionality.
  • Delivering targeted and relevant advertising to you based on your interests.
  • Enabling social media features and integrations.
  • Preventing fraudulent activity and protecting the security of our systems.
  • Complying with legal and regulatory obligations applicable to hotel-casino operations in New Zealand.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorise the cookies used on our website into the following types. You will find detailed information about the specific cookies in each category in the table provided below.

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for our website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in to a secure area, filling in forms, or making reservations. Without these cookies, certain parts of our website would not operate correctly. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and do not require your consent under applicable law; however, we are committed to being transparent about their use.

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, how visitors navigate through the site, and where visitors encounter errors. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymised. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not be able to include your visit in our statistics, which may affect our ability to improve your experience.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have integrated into our pages. These cookies may be used to remember your language preference, the region you are in, your room or dining preferences, or other settings you have selected. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function correctly.

3.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies

These cookies are set through our website by our advertising partners and marketing service providers. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites you visit. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will still see advertising, but it will be less targeted and relevant to your interests. Given the nature of our hotel-casino operations, all marketing cookies relating to casino promotions are deployed strictly in compliance with New Zealand gambling advertising regulations.
