At a glance: your cookie choices

Planning guidance

Your choices

Where the website presents a cookie choice mechanism, you can use the options shown there to manage the choices available to you. You can also usually control cookies through your browser or device settings. The controls you see, and the choices they affect, can vary with your browser, device, settings and the technology in use.

Before you change settings

Before you change settings

Restricting or blocking some cookies may affect how parts of a website work or whether a website remembers choices you have made. This does not mean you cannot browse Voyage Portals, but your experience may be less consistent after settings are changed or stored data is cleared.

Policy scope

What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your browser or device when you use a site. Depending on how they are used, cookies can help a site recognise a browser during a visit or remember a choice made earlier. They are a common website tool, but not every website uses every type of cookie or uses cookies for every possible purpose.

For Voyage Portals, this policy describes the ways cookies and related tools may be relevant to the website in plain language. It is intended to help you understand the choices available to you, rather than to imply that every technology described below is always active.

Similar technologies

Websites may also use related technologies where applicable, including local storage, pixels or tags. These tools can perform different functions, such as remembering information on a device or helping a website understand whether a page is working as expected. In this policy, we use the term “cookies” broadly to include these related technologies when they are used in a similar way.

Purpose categories

How cookies may be used

Cookies and similar technologies may support different website purposes. The categories below are policy-level explanations, not a live inventory of cookie names, providers or expiry periods.

Essential operation and security

Some technologies may be needed to support basic website operation, keep sessions or settings working, or help protect a site from misuse where applicable. Technologies in this category can be necessary for a service to operate as intended. This description does not mean that Voyage Portals provides login accounts, payment systems or uses a particular security service.

Preferences and accessibility

Where choices are offered, technologies may remember preferences such as language, display or accessibility-related settings. This can help create a more consistent browsing experience when you return to a page or move between pages. Voyage Portals is provided in English for New Zealand visitors, but no specific preference feature should be assumed from this general explanation.

Understanding website use

If deployed, measurement technologies may help website operators understand how pages are used and improve content or performance. This may assist with identifying which information is useful or whether a page is functioning well. It does not mean that Voyage Portals uses a named analytics provider, identifies individual visitors, or carries out advertising targeting or cross-site tracking.

Browser and device settings

Managing cookies in your browser or device

Use your browser or device controls

You can usually review, limit, delete or block cookies through the settings available in your browser or on your device. A practical approach is to first check the privacy, site-data or cookie area of the browser or device you use; then decide which changes suit you; and finally review the result when you next visit a website. Exact steps differ between browsers, operating systems and software updates, so consult the current help resources supplied for your own browser or device.

Check third-party guidance carefully. Use official help material for your own browser, device or privacy tools, as settings, menu names and terminology can change over time.

External boundaries

Third parties and policy changes

Voyage Portals does not control the policies of independent third parties. Before providing information or changing settings on another website, read the privacy and cookie information made available by that site or service.
