A cookie is a small text file placed on your computer's hard drive or browser by a webpage server. A cookie file contains anonymous details of your IP address, PC platform (Windows, Mac etc.), browser and domain (whether accessing from New Zealand or elsewhere).

We may collect personal information about you from a third party source where you have agreed to the release of such personal information to us.
You must not provide personal information to us about another person, unless that person has authorised us, through you, to collect, use and disclose personal information about that person, for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

We will not be liable for any direct or indirect damage or loss for any unauthorised access or misuse of your personal information, but we will use our best efforts to prevent this.
