Cookie Policy: Cookies We Use and How to Manage Them

What cookies are, the essential, analytics and affiliate-tracking cookies we set, and how to control or switch them off.

Last updated 20 August 2026.

This Cookie Policy explains how junipercollective.co.nz uses cookies and similar technologies, what they do, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our privacy policy.

1. What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit. It lets the site remember things between pages and visits — for example, that you've already dismissed a notice. Cookies can be "session" cookies, which disappear when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which stay for a set period. Similar technologies such as pixels and local storage work in comparable ways, and we treat them the same in this policy.

2. The types of cookies we use

Essential cookies

These are needed for the site to work — for basic navigation, security, and remembering choices like your cookie preferences. The site cannot function properly without them, so they can't be switched off through our site, though you can block them in your browser.

Analytics cookies

These help us understand how the site is used — which pages are popular, how visitors arrive, and where things could work better. The data is largely aggregated. We use it to improve our reviews and guides, not to identify you personally.

Affiliate-tracking cookies

When you click a link to a third-party operator, an affiliate-tracking cookie may record that the referral came from us so that we can be credited if you go on to sign up. This is how the site earns its keep. These cookies do not change what you pay, and they do not affect our rankings, which are based on our own testing.

3. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties rather than by us directly — for example our analytics provider and our affiliate-tracking partners. When you follow a link and leave our site, the destination operator sets its own cookies under its own policy, which we do not control. We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of any operator site you visit.

4. How to manage or disable cookies

You are in control. You can:

  • adjust your choices through any cookie banner or preferences link shown on the site;
  • set your browser to block or delete cookies — every major browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) lets you do this in its privacy or settings menu, and its help pages explain how;
  • use your browser's private/incognito mode, which clears most cookies when you close the window; and
  • opt out of many analytics and advertising cookies via industry tools such as your browser's "Do Not Track" setting.

Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site from working properly. Blocking analytics or affiliate cookies won't affect your ability to read our content.

5. Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our tools or the law change. The version shown here, with its "last updated" date, is always the current one.
