Cookie Policy

1. About this policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Trevessian Royal Manor Limited , located at 17 Puketiro Road, Glen Eden, Auckland 0602, New Zealand , may use cookies and similar browser storage on the Trevessian Royal Manor website.

The front-end website is designed to operate using local website resources. Cookies are small text records stored by a browser; similar technologies may include local storage or session storage. This Policy should be read together with the Privacy Policy.

2. What cookies do

Cookies can remember a browser preference, maintain a session, support security, store a consent choice or help measure whether a website feature is working as intended. A cookie normally contains an identifier and related values rather than the full content of a page.

3. Essential cookies

Essential cookies or equivalent storage are used only where required for a feature the user requests, website security, load balancing, fraud prevention, accessibility preferences or the storage of a consent choice. Because these technologies are necessary for the requested service or security, they may not require consent in jurisdictions where the law provides an essential-use exemption.

Disabling essential storage in the browser may cause certain website controls or preferences to stop working correctly.

4. Preference storage

Preference storage may remember choices such as language, interface state or accessibility settings. Where a preference technology is not strictly necessary, we will use it only where the applicable legal basis permits and will request consent where required.

5. Analytics category

If privacy-respecting analytics are introduced, they may be used to understand aggregated page performance, navigation patterns and technical errors. Non-essential analytics will not be activated before consent where consent is legally required. We aim to minimise identifiers and avoid collecting more information than is necessary for measurement.

6. Marketing category

The current public website does not need advertising cookies to display its core content. If marketing or advertising technologies are introduced in the future, this Policy and any consent interface will be updated before those technologies are relied upon where consent is required.

7. Functional integrations

A future optional feature may depend on a specialist service provider. If that feature uses non-essential cookies or browser storage, the relevant category, purpose and provider information will be disclosed before activation where required by law.

8. Consent under GDPR principles

Where GDPR or similar consent rules apply, non-essential cookies are used only after a valid consent choice. Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. Refusing optional cookies should not prevent access to content that does not depend on them.

A user who has consented to an optional category may change or withdraw that choice for future use. Withdrawal does not make earlier lawful processing unlawful.

9. How to manage cookies

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view stored site data, delete individual cookies, clear all website data, block third-party cookies, block all cookies or configure deletion when the browser closes. The wording differs by browser and device.

Blocking all storage may reduce functionality. If a dedicated consent control is available on the website, that control can be used in addition to browser settings for the categories it covers.

10. Storage duration

Session storage is normally removed when the browsing session ends. Persistent storage remains until its stated expiry, until it is replaced, or until the user deletes it. We seek to use retention periods proportionate to the purpose and to avoid indefinite retention of optional identifiers.

11. First-party and third-party cookies

A first-party cookie is set for the website domain being visited. A third-party cookie is associated with another domain. The site is structured so that its front-end assets do not depend on remote third-party resources. If a future optional service introduces third-party storage, it will be treated as a separate disclosure and consent issue where required.

12. Local storage and session storage

Browsers also provide storage mechanisms that are not technically cookies. Where these mechanisms store identifiers or preferences on a user device, we apply the same transparency and consent principles when the applicable law treats them similarly to cookies.

13. Security storage

Security-related storage may be used to distinguish legitimate requests, maintain integrity, reduce abuse or remember a security state. We limit this use to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant protective function.

14. Data linked to cookies

Depending on the category, cookie-related data may include a random identifier, consent state, timestamps, page or feature interactions, browser characteristics and security signals. We do not intend essential website cookies to store the full text of enquiry messages.

15. Sharing cookie-related data

Where a service provider processes cookie-related information on our behalf, we require an appropriate contractual and legal basis for that processing. We do not sell cookie identifiers. Any legally required disclosure to a public authority will be assessed under applicable law.

16. International processing

If optional cookie-related information is processed outside New Zealand and GDPR transfer rules apply, an appropriate transfer mechanism will be used. Relevant New Zealand overseas-disclosure requirements will also be considered where they apply.

17. Your privacy rights

Cookie-related personal information is covered by the rights described in the Privacy Policy. Depending on the applicable law, those rights may include access, correction, objection, deletion, restriction, portability or withdrawal of consent, subject to statutory conditions and exceptions.

18. Changes to cookie use

We may update this Cookie Policy if browser technologies, website functionality or legal requirements change. If a new non-essential cookie category is introduced, we will update the relevant information and obtain consent where required before activation.
