Cookie Policy
The short version: a few first-party analytics cookies, nothing for advertising.
Unofficial Placeholder Site
This is a fan-made website. It is not operated by, affiliated with, or endorsed by the Dunedin Thunder, the Dunedin Ice Hockey Association, or the New Zealand Ice Hockey League, and it does not claim to represent the team in any capacity.
If I have used your image or media without consent, please don't be mad, I just needed content to build this placeholder website for the team. Please find my contact details in the footer.
What cookies we use
This website does not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Our hosting platform may set strictly-necessary cookies required to serve the site securely and reliably.
We use Google Analytics to understand which pages fans visit so we can improve the site. It sets first-party cookies (_ga and _ga_*) that distinguish one visitor from another; they are not used for advertising and we don't share the data with anyone else.
Third-party cookies
The photo gallery on our media page embeds the team's Instagram feed, served by Instagram (Meta), which may set its own cookies under Meta's cookie policy when that page loads. Beyond that, following links to other services — iTICKET for tickets, YouTube for streams and highlights, nzihl.com for statistics, or our social media pages — takes you to sites that set their own cookies under their own policies.
Controlling cookies
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Because this site doesn't depend on cookies for anything you can see, blocking them won't break your experience here. If you'd rather not be counted in our analytics, blocking cookies for this site or using Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on does exactly that.
Changes
If we add features that need cookies — for example, the newsletter or embedded video — this policy will be updated before they go live.
