Cookie Policy for 7Bit
Last updated: 25 February 2026
This Cookie Policy explains in detail how cookies and similar tracking technologies are used when you access or use the online casino services provided by 7Bit through the website 7Bit (“the Website”), operated at blackcatrelics.com. It describes what cookies are, which types of cookies are deployed on your device, the purposes for which they are used, and how you can manage your cookie preferences in accordance with applicable laws in New Zealand. This Cookie Policy forms an integral part of, and should be read together with, the main Privacy Policy of 7Bit that is available on blackcatrelics.com and which explains in greater detail how personal information is collected, used, stored, and shared. By consulting this Cookie Policy, you will gain a clearer understanding of the technical and legal aspects of cookie use on 7Bit, as well as your rights and choices as a user located in New Zealand.
The primary purpose of this Cookie Policy is to provide transparent information about how 7Bit uses cookies to enhance your user experience, to ensure the security and integrity of your gaming sessions, to support responsible gaming, and to comply with applicable data protection and privacy obligations in New Zealand. While New Zealand does not have a specific cookie-only statute comparable to some other jurisdictions, 7Bit treats cookie-based data as personal information where it directly or indirectly identifies an individual and therefore applies principles of fairness, transparency, and user control. This Cookie Policy also explains how cookies relate to other technologies such as local storage, pixels, and device identifiers, and how they may interact with third-party services integrated into blackcatrelics.com.
By accessing or using blackcatrelics.com, including any of its mobile versions, downloading any related applications, or engaging in real-money or demo play on 7Bit, you acknowledge that you have been informed about the use of cookies and that you consent to the practices described in this Cookie Policy, subject to the choices and controls available to you.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files or pieces of information that are stored on your device (such as a computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website like 7Bit. When you access blackcatrelics.com, the site may instruct your browser to store one or more cookies, which are then sent back to the Website with each subsequent request. This mechanism enables the Website to recognize your browser over time, remember certain information about you, and maintain continuity between your visits and activities. Cookies typically contain information such as a unique identifier, the name of the domain from which the cookie originated, a timestamp, and sometimes configuration or preference information related to your use of the online casino at 7Bit.
Cookies serve various functions, some of which are essential for the operation of blackcatrelics.com, while others are used to enhance performance, facilitate analytics, enable personalized marketing, or support responsible gaming features. On 7Bit, cookies may be used to keep you signed in to your account, remember your language and currency preferences, ensure that age and eligibility checks are consistently enforced, and store your consent status regarding cookie usage. In addition to traditional HTTP cookies, 7Bit may also employ similar technologies such as HTML5 local storage, session storage, web beacons, and tracking pixels, which operate in a comparable manner by storing or transmitting information from your device. For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, references to “cookies” are intended to cover both classic cookies and these analogous technologies where they are used on blackcatrelics.com.
Cookies can be either “session” cookies or “persistent” cookies. Session cookies exist only for the duration of your browser session and are typically deleted when you close your browser. These are frequently used to link your actions during a single visit to the site and to maintain your login state while navigating between pages on 7Bit. Persistent cookies, on the other hand, remain stored on your device for a longer, defined period and are used to remember you when you return to the Website, helping to track repeated visits and long-term preferences. Both session and persistent cookies are used by blackcatrelics.com for various technical, analytical, and marketing purposes in line with this Cookie Policy.
From a privacy perspective, cookies may or may not involve personal information. When a cookie is associated with data that can reasonably identify an individual user or device, 7Bit treats that cookie data as personal information and handles it in accordance with the principles set out in its Privacy Policy, as well as relevant New Zealand privacy laws. By understanding what cookies are and how they function, you can make informed choices about their use on 7Bit and adjust your browser or device settings accordingly, as described in the later sections of this Cookie Policy.
2. How We Use Cookies
7Bit uses cookies on blackcatrelics.com for several interrelated purposes that include enabling the core functionality of the online casino, enhancing security and integrity, improving your user experience, and measuring and optimizing the performance of our services. When you sign in to your 7Bit account, certain essential cookies help authenticate you and maintain your login session across different pages and game sections so that you can move between the lobby, games, cashier, and account settings without being repeatedly asked to re-enter your credentials. These cookies also help ensure that the correct account is associated with your gameplay, deposits, withdrawals, bonuses, and loyalty rewards, thereby providing a seamless gaming experience across the Website.
Cookies are also central to the way 7Bit personalizes elements of blackcatrelics.com based on your previous interactions. For instance, preference cookies can remember your chosen language, the default currency for your wagers, your preferred game categories, and previously visited pages, enabling 7Bit to tailor content suggestions and layout to your habits. This improves usability and reduces the amount of repetitive input from you, resulting in a more intuitive experience on blackcatrelics.com. Such personalization can extend to recommended games, promotional banners, and reminders relevant to your typical playing times.
Security and fraud prevention represent another critical layer of cookie use on 7Bit. Certain cookies are employed specifically to detect unusual login patterns, repeated failed login attempts, or atypical transaction behaviour that might indicate unauthorized account access, bonus abuse, or fraudulent activities. These cookies support essential security checks, help enforce session timeouts when appropriate, and assist in the protection of both your funds and the integrity of the 7Bit platform. In addition, cookies may help us ensure compliance with applicable legal obligations, including those related to anti-money laundering, age verification, and territorial restrictions.
From a performance perspective, 7Bit relies on cookies to collect aggregated analytics data about how blackcatrelics.com is used. This can include data such as the pages visited, the time spent on various parts of the site, the types of devices and browsers used, and technical performance indicators such as error messages or loading times. By analysing this cookie-derived data, 7Bit can identify which features are functioning well, where bottlenecks or technical issues may arise, and how the navigation experience can be improved. These insights are used to optimize the site’s structure, content, and technology stack in order to provide a reliable and responsive environment for New Zealand users.
Finally, some cookies are used by 7Bit and its partners to support marketing and advertising initiatives. Marketing cookies help us understand the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, track conversions from promotional links, and display more relevant offers to both new and returning players from New Zealand. These cookies may be set either directly by blackcatrelics.com or by third-party service providers working with 7Bit, and they are subject to additional user controls and consent where required. Overall, the careful and transparent use of cookies helps 7Bit deliver a secure, responsible, and engaging online casino experience.
3. Categories of Cookies Used
7Bit uses several distinct categories of cookies on blackcatrelics.com, each designed to fulfil specific functions within the overall operation and enhancement of the Website. Understanding these categories will help you determine which cookies are necessary for the core service and which ones you may have more discretion to disable, subject to any mandatory legal requirements or technical limitations:
- Essential cookies are those that are strictly required for the Website to function properly and for you to be able to use the core features of 7Bit. Without these cookies, basic services such as secure login, account verification, payment processing, and responsible gaming enforcement could not be reliably provided. For example, essential cookies might be used to maintain your session across pages, to apply security settings consistently, to remember your progress during a transaction, or to store your cookie consent preferences so that we do not need to ask for your consent repeatedly.
- Functional cookies enhance the usability and personalization of blackcatrelics.com. They are not strictly mandatory for the Website to operate, but they significantly improve your overall user experience on 7Bit. Functional cookies may remember your preferred language, time zone, currency, display settings, or game favourites so that the Website loads according to your preferences every time you visit. They may also support specific features such as live chat assistance, account configuration tools, or customized content sections on 7Bit. If you choose to disable functional cookies, you may still be able to access the Website, but certain convenience features may not operate as smoothly.
- Analytical cookies, sometimes referred to as performance or statistics cookies, are used by 7Bit and, in some cases, by its analytics partners to collect information about how visitors use blackcatrelics.com. This can include data about which pages are visited most often, how long users stay on those pages, how they navigate from one section to another, and whether they encounter errors or performance issues. The data gathered through analytical cookies is generally aggregated and de-identified, and it is used to improve the design, functionality, and content of 7Bit. By understanding how New Zealand users interact with the site, 7Bit can optimize loading times, streamline registration paths, and refine features linked to responsible gaming, such as session reminders and deposit limit tools.
- Marketing cookies, also known as targeting or advertising cookies, are used to deliver promotional content that is more relevant to your interests and to measure the effectiveness of such campaigns. These cookies may be set by 7Bit or by authorised third-party providers such as advertising networks, affiliate tracking systems, or social media platforms. Marketing cookies can record information such as that you visited blackcatrelics.com, which promotions you interacted with, whether you completed registration or made a deposit after clicking an advertisement, and how frequently you respond to specific types of offers. This helps 7Bit present tailored bonuses, free spin offers, or tournament invitations that are more likely to match your profile, while also respecting your privacy choices and applicable New Zealand laws.
The table below provides an overview of the main categories of cookies used on blackcatrelics.com and their general purposes within the 7Bit online casino environment.
| Cookie category | Description | Examples of purpose on blackcatrelics.com |
|---|---|---|
| Essential cookies | Cookies necessary for the core operation of the Website and online casino services. | Maintaining secure login sessions, processing payments, enforcing security checks, storing cookie consent choices, and ensuring responsible gaming session management. |
| Functional cookies | Cookies that support enhanced functionality and personalization of the user experience. | Remembering language and currency preferences, storing game favourites, adjusting layout settings, enabling live chat features, and saving interface customization options on 7Bit. |
| Analytical cookies | Cookies that collect statistical data about how visitors use the Website. | Measuring page views and session duration, tracking navigation paths, identifying technical errors, improving loading performance, and optimising responsible gaming prompts and tools. |
| Marketing cookies | Cookies used to deliver and measure targeted advertisements and promotions. | Tracking affiliate referrals, measuring promotion conversions, tailoring bonus offers for New Zealand users, limiting the number of times you see an advertisement, and evaluating campaign effectiveness for 7Bit. |
4. First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
Cookies used on blackcatrelics.com can be divided into first-party cookies and third-party cookies, depending on the entity that places and controls the cookie on your device. First-party cookies are set directly by 7Bit when you interact with the Website. These cookies are typically associated with the core functions of the online casino, including user authentication, security safeguards, responsible gaming settings, and basic analytics necessary for the operation and improvement of 7Bit. Because first-party cookies are controlled directly by blackcatrelics.com, 7Bit is responsible for their configuration, duration, and the purposes for which they are used.
Third-party cookies, in contrast, are placed on your device by external parties whose services are integrated into blackcatrelics.com. These third parties may include analytics providers like Google, game studios that host game content and related assets, payment gateways that process deposits and withdrawals, customer support platforms, and marketing or affiliate partners who help promote the services of 7Bit in New Zealand and internationally. Third-party cookies allow these providers to recognise your browser across different websites, not only on blackcatrelics.com, and to gather information for their own predefined purposes, subject to their respective privacy and cookie policies.
7Bit works with selected third-party providers to ensure that any third-party cookies used on blackcatrelics.com are deployed in line with applicable laws and with an appropriate level of transparency and control for users. For analytical purposes, 7Bit may use services such as Google Analytics or similar tools that set cookies to collect aggregated metrics about user behaviour, traffic sources, and technical performance metrics related to 7Bit. For gaming content, certain game studios may set cookies to support game functionality, manage in-game features, save in-game preferences, detect game abuse, or measure the performance of their content. Payment service providers may also use cookies to facilitate secure payment redirections, fraud prevention mechanisms, and transaction status tracking.
Marketing and affiliate partners may deploy third-party cookies or tracking pixels to track conversions, attribute registrations or deposits to specific campaigns, and prevent duplicate or fraudulent referrals. These third-party cookies help 7Bit understand which marketing initiatives are most effective among users in New Zealand and elsewhere, allowing 7Bit to optimise promotional strategies and control costs. It is important to note that third-party cookies are subject to the policies of the respective providers, and 7Bit encourages you to review the privacy and cookie policies of such third parties if you would like more detailed information about their practices.
You have the ability to manage both first-party and third-party cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through specific opt-out mechanisms provided by third-party services. However, disabling third-party cookies may affect your experience of certain integrated features, such as embedded game content or external payment pages. 7Bit seeks to ensure that only cookies necessary for legitimate and disclosed purposes are used on blackcatrelics.com, and that your consent and preferences are respected to the maximum extent compatible with the functioning of the online casino.
The table below summarises some of the main types of third-party providers whose cookies may be encountered when using 7Bit.
| Provider type | Example providers | Purpose of cookies in relation to 7Bit |
|---|---|---|
| Analytics Services | Google Analytics or similar analytics platforms | Measuring site traffic, user engagement, session duration, entry and exit pages, conversion funnels, and technical performance on blackcatrelics.com. |
| Game Studios | Third-party slot and live casino game providers | Supporting game loading and performance, saving game-specific preferences, ensuring game fairness and security, and preventing bonus or game abuse. |
| Payment Gateways | Online payment processors, card payment providers, e-wallet services, and cryptocurrency processors | Facilitating secure payment redirection, verifying transaction integrity, detecting fraudulent activity, and confirming payment status for deposits and withdrawals on 7Bit. |
| Marketing and Affiliate Partners | Affiliate tracking platforms, advertising networks, and campaign management tools | Tracking campaign clicks and registrations, attributing deposits to specific marketing sources, limiting repeated exposure to the same advertisements, and measuring campaign effectiveness for New Zealand and other markets. |
5. Security and Anti-Fraud Cookies
Security and anti-fraud cookies play a critical role in protecting both users and the integrity of the 7Bit platform. On blackcatrelics.com, such cookies help 7Bit verify that account access is legitimate, that transactions are being initiated by authorized users, and that the Website is not being misused for fraudulent or abusive purposes. When you log into your account, security cookies may be used to record factors such as the time, approximate location, and device characteristics associated with your session, enabling 7Bit to detect patterns that deviate from your usual behaviour and to apply additional verification measures when necessary.
Anti-fraud cookies can also assist in identifying repeated or automated attempts to access the system, detect bots or scripts that attempt to exploit bonuses or game outcomes, and monitor unusual betting patterns that could indicate collusion or other forms of misconduct. These cookies support internal risk management and compliance frameworks that 7Bit maintains in line with regulatory expectations and industry best practices. They may work in conjunction with device fingerprinting techniques or network-level checks to ensure that multiple accounts are not being improperly operated from the same environment in violation of the terms and conditions of blackcatrelics.com.
In the context of financial transactions, security cookies provide an additional layer of protection on top of encryption and other technical safeguards. For example, cookies may be used to confirm that a deposit or withdrawal request originated from a session that has passed prior security checks, or to maintain a consistent security token across your interactions with the cashier section of 7Bit. These mechanisms help minimise the risk of session hijacking, cross-site request forgery, and related attacks that could compromise user funds or personal information.
Security cookies also interact with responsible gaming tools implemented by 7Bit. In particular, they can help enforce session time limits, monitor the frequency of login attempts, and ensure that self-exclusion or cooling-off status is applied consistently across sessions and devices. By using cookies to track and enforce these responsible gaming measures, 7Bit is better able to honour user-imposed limits and provide a safer gaming environment for players in New Zealand.
While security and anti-fraud cookies are by their nature more intrusive than some purely functional cookies, they are considered essential for the safety, integrity, and lawfulness of the services offered on blackcatrelics.com. For this reason, they generally cannot be disabled without severely impacting your ability to use the Website. 7Bit applies strict access controls, retention limits, and technical safeguards to the data associated with these cookies, and it processes such data only for purposes that are necessary and proportionate to maintaining a secure and compliant gaming environment.
6. Analytical Tools
7Bit uses analytical tools and cookies on blackcatrelics.com to understand how users interact with the Website and to drive continuous improvements to performance, layout, usability, and responsible gaming features. Analytical cookies collect information such as the number of visitors, the pages visited, the average duration of sessions, click paths within the site, geographical trends (at a general, non-precise level), types of devices and browsers used, and technical events such as errors or slow loading times. This information is generally aggregated and does not aim to personally identify individual users, although in some cases it may be associated with an account for the purpose of troubleshooting or fraud prevention.
These analytical tools may include widely used platforms such as Google Analytics or similar services that help 7Bit generate statistical reports and dashboards regarding user behaviour on 7Bit. For example, 7Bit might use analytics to determine whether New Zealand users encounter particular difficulties in completing registration, depositing funds, or accessing certain game categories. Such insights enable the design and placement of more intuitive navigation elements, clearer call-to-action buttons, and more responsive customer support solutions. Analytical insights are also used to measure the effectiveness of responsible gaming messaging and interventions, such as pop-up reminders about session duration, limit-setting prompts, or information pages about problem gambling support services.
In some cases, 7Bit may employ advanced analytical tools such as heatmaps and scroll maps, which visually represent where users click, tap, or hover on particular pages of blackcatrelics.com. These tools can reveal which content sections attract the most attention, where users tend to abandon processes, or how they interact with responsible gaming forms and settings. With such data, 7Bit can refine the layout of forms, rephrase instructions, adjust the placement of responsible gaming options, and reduce friction in critical flows such as account verification and withdrawals.
Traffic analysis is another important aspect of analytics at 7Bit. By examining patterns in traffic sources, such as search engines, affiliates, or direct visits, 7Bit can better understand how users in New Zealand discover and return to blackcatrelics.com. This helps allocate resources to the most effective channels while ensuring that marketing and acquisition practices remain compliant, transparent, and aligned with user expectations. Cookie-based analytics can also be used to monitor the performance and reliability of the underlying infrastructure, such as servers and content delivery networks, which in turn affects page load times and overall user satisfaction.
While analytical cookies are valuable for the improvement of the Website, 7Bit recognises the importance of your ability to exercise choice, especially where analytics may involve more granular tracking or integration with marketing tools. Where required, 7Bit will seek your consent for certain types of analytical cookies, and you may limit their use through your browser settings or by using opt-out tools provided by the relevant third-party analytics provider. However, some basic analytical data may still be collected in a way that does not identify you personally, for the legitimate interest of maintaining and improving the stability and functionality of blackcatrelics.com.
7. Advertising and Targeting
Advertising and targeting cookies are used by 7Bit and its authorised partners to present you with more relevant promotional content and to measure the performance of marketing campaigns that promote blackcatrelics.com, including in New Zealand. When you visit 7Bit or interact with our advertisements on third-party websites, certain cookies or pixels may track whether you have viewed or clicked on a particular advertisement, whether you subsequently registered an account, and whether you made deposits or engaged in gameplay. This information allows 7Bit to attribute conversions to specific campaigns or affiliates and to assess which promotional messages resonate most effectively with different user segments.
Targeting cookies may also allow 7Bit to adjust which banners or offers you see on blackcatrelics.com itself. For instance, if you typically play slot games, the Website may show you promotions related to new or featured slots rather than live table games. If you frequently participate in tournaments, 7Bit might prioritise tournament-related notifications or leaderboard promotions in your interface. These personalised promotions are designed to be relevant and engaging while also respecting your rights and preferences as a user.
Advertising cookies can be set either by 7Bit or by third-party advertising networks, affiliates, or tracking platforms that work with 7Bit to reach potential players in New Zealand. These third parties may also combine information obtained through cookies on blackcatrelics.com with data collected from other websites or services to build broader profiles of user interests and behaviour. While this can result in more tailored advertising experiences, it also raises additional privacy considerations. 7Bit requires its partners to comply with applicable data protection standards and encourages you to review the privacy and cookie policies of such third-party networks for more details on their practices.
Targeting cookies further help control how often particular advertisements are displayed to you, in order to avoid excessive repetition, and they provide aggregated metrics on reach, frequency, and engagement. This allows 7Bit to design more efficient and user-friendly marketing strategies, reduce unnecessary advertising expenditures, and focus on promotions that are more likely to be of genuine interest to New Zealand players. In addition, advertising cookies can support retargeting campaigns, which aim to remind users who have previously visited blackcatrelics.com but did not complete registration or deposit to reconsider signing up, subject to legal and regulatory constraints.
You retain the right to limit or disable advertising and targeting cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through consent management tools implemented on blackcatrelics.com. Disabling such cookies will not prevent you from seeing generic advertisements or promotional banners on 7Bit; however, the offers you see may be less relevant to your preferences, and the Website may not be able to measure the effectiveness of promotions specifically tailored to New Zealand users.
8. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for managing your cookie preferences when using blackcatrelics.com, including controlling which cookies are stored on your device, deleting existing cookies, and setting general rules for future cookie behaviour. While certain essential cookies are necessary for the operation of 7Bit and cannot be fully disabled without impacting the functionality of the online casino, you retain considerable discretion over functional, analytical, and marketing cookies through your browser or device settings.
Most modern web browsers allow you to review, accept, refuse, or delete cookies at any time. In general, you can configure your browser to notify you when a cookie is being stored, to block cookies altogether, or to remove cookies once you close your browser. Some browsers also offer advanced controls, such as blocking third-party cookies while allowing first-party cookies, or applying different rules to different websites. When you adjust these settings, they will typically apply to all websites you visit, not only to blackcatrelics.com, so you should take care to choose an approach that matches your overall privacy and convenience preferences.
When you first visit 7Bit, you may encounter a cookie notice or banner that informs you about the use of cookies on blackcatrelics.com and, where appropriate, requests your consent for non-essential cookies. Through this interface, you may have the opportunity to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences by category. If you later change your mind, you can usually revisit your preferences by adjusting your browser settings or by clearing cookies associated with 7Bit, which will cause the notice to reappear on your next visit.
The specific steps to manage cookies vary by browser. The following table provides general guidance on how to locate cookie management settings in commonly used browsers. Please note that the exact names of menu items or buttons may evolve over time as browsers are updated, and you may need to consult the help documentation of your browser for the most current instructions.
| Browser | Accessing cookie settings | General steps to manage cookies |
|---|---|---|
| Google Chrome | Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data | Open Settings, select Privacy and security, click Cookies and other site data, choose to allow all cookies, block third-party cookies, or block all cookies, and use the Site settings section to manage cookies for specific sites such as blackcatrelics.com. |
| Mozilla Firefox | Settings (Options) > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data | Open the menu, select Settings, go to Privacy & Security, review the Cookies and Site Data section, choose Standard, Strict, or Custom tracking protection, manage Exceptions, and use Manage Data to remove cookies for 7Bit. |
| Safari (macOS) | Preferences > Privacy | Open Safari, select Preferences, click the Privacy tab, adjust settings for Website tracking and Cookies and website data, and use the Manage Website Data option to remove stored cookies and data for blackcatrelics.com. |
| Microsoft Edge | Settings > Cookies and site permissions | Open Settings, select Cookies and site permissions, open the Cookies and data stored section, choose to allow or block cookies, manage third-party cookies, and view and clear cookies stored by sites including 7Bit. |
| Mobile Browsers | Settings within the mobile browser application | Open the browser’s settings menu, look for Privacy or Site settings, access the Cookies section, and adjust whether cookies are allowed, blocked, or cleared for all sites or specifically for blackcatrelics.com. |
Please be aware that restricting or deleting cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of 7Bit as intended, as further described in Section 11 of this Cookie Policy. Additionally, if you clear cookies from your browser, any preferences, including your cookie consent choices, may be removed, and you may be prompted again upon your next visit to 7Bit.
9. Mobile Device Tracking
When you access 7Bit via a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet, the use of cookies and similar technologies on blackcatrelics.com operates in a manner broadly comparable to desktop access, but with some additional considerations related to mobile platforms. Mobile browsers typically support cookies and offer settings to manage them, but their interfaces may differ from desktop browsers. In some cases, 7Bit may also offer or integrate with mobile applications or progressive web app functionality, which can rely on local storage or app-specific identifiers in addition to traditional cookies.
On mobile devices, cookies and similar technologies may be used by 7Bit to remember your login status, adapt the layout to smaller screens, optimise load times over mobile networks, and support touch-based user interfaces. For example, preference cookies may enable blackcatrelics.com to remember your preferred game categories and promotional displays on mobile, ensuring that you can quickly access your favourite slots or table games from the 7Bit lobby. Performance-related cookies help gauge how well the mobile version of 7Bit performs under different network conditions and device capabilities, guiding ongoing improvements in responsiveness and reliability for New Zealand users.
In addition to browser-based cookies, mobile environments sometimes rely on device identifiers or software development kits (SDKs) embedded in apps, which can perform cookie-like functions such as tracking usage patterns, measuring app crashes, and supporting attribution of mobile marketing campaigns. If 7Bit offers a dedicated mobile app now or in the future, these mechanisms may be used in accordance with the principles outlined in this Cookie Policy and the broader Privacy Policy, while also complying with the specific requirements imposed by mobile platform providers such as Apple and Google.
Mobile tracking technologies also play a role in responsible gaming on 7Bit. For instance, cookies or equivalent identifiers can be used to synchronise your responsible gaming settings, including session limits, deposit limits, and self-exclusion status, across desktop and mobile access points. This ensures that if you place limits or select a cooling-off period on one device, those protections are consistently applied when you log in from another device, thus maintaining a coherent approach to harm minimisation in the New Zealand context.
You can manage cookies and related technologies on your mobile device by adjusting the settings of your mobile browser or, where applicable, your mobile operating system. For example, iOS and Android devices may offer options to limit ad tracking, reset advertising identifiers, or control how apps access your data. If you use a mobile browser to access blackcatrelics.com, you should consult the help section of that browser to learn how to manage cookies. If you use a dedicated app, you may be able to adjust privacy-related settings within the app itself or in the system settings. Limiting or disabling mobile tracking may affect certain features of 7Bit, especially those related to personalization and advertising, but essential security and responsible gaming protections will continue to apply where technically necessary.
10. Data Retention
The length of time that cookies remain on your device can vary significantly depending on their purpose and configuration. On blackcatrelics.com, 7Bit uses both session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until you manually delete them. Data retention practices for cookies are designed to be proportionate to the purposes for which each cookie is used, and to comply with applicable privacy expectations in New Zealand:
- Essential session cookies used for authentication and security are typically retained only for the duration of your active session on 7Bit. When you log out or close your browser, these cookies are usually removed or become invalid, thereby reducing the risk that someone else using the same device could access your account. Some essential persistent cookies may remain for a longer period to remember security settings, device trust status, or cookie consent choices so that you are not repeatedly prompted for the same information every time you visit 7Bit.
- Functional cookies that store preferences such as language, currency, or interface layout may have retention periods ranging from a few days to several months, depending on the nature of the preference and how frequently it is likely to change. Analytical cookies may be retained for periods that allow 7Bit to perform meaningful trend analysis across seasons or promotional cycles, which might range from several months to a couple of years. Marketing cookies, particularly those used for advertising attribution, may also have retention periods calibrated to typical campaign durations and reporting requirements. In all cases, 7Bit aims to avoid indefinite retention of cookie data and periodically reviews retention schedules to ensure that they remain appropriate.
It is important to note that, even after a cookie expires or is deleted from your device, the aggregated analytical data or other records derived from that cookie may continue to be stored by 7Bit or its service providers in anonymised or pseudonymised form for legitimate business purposes, such as historical analysis, compliance, or fraud investigation. Such records are handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy of 7Bit and relevant legal obligations.
You can influence retention by manually deleting cookies through your browser or device settings at any time, which will remove the cookies currently stored on your device regardless of their original expiration dates. However, new cookies may be set the next time you visit blackcatrelics.com, and some settings may be reset to default as a result. For more detailed information about the typical lifespan of specific cookies used on 7Bit, you may contact the support team using the contact information provided in Section 13 of this Cookie Policy.
11. Impact of Disabling Cookies
Disabling or restricting cookies on blackcatrelics.com can have significant consequences for your experience of the 7Bit online casino, particularly where essential and functional cookies are concerned. If you choose to block all cookies, or to refuse certain categories such as essential cookies, you may find that you are unable to log into your account, maintain a stable session, or complete transactions securely. Core features such as registration, account verification, deposits, withdrawals, and gameplay may become inaccessible or unreliable, and you may encounter repeated error messages or be logged out unexpectedly.
Even if you only disable functional cookies, you may notice a reduction in the usability and convenience of 7Bit. The Website may no longer remember your language and currency preferences, favourite games, or custom interface settings. You may need to reconfigure your preferences every time you visit, and some features, such as personalised recommendations or live chat tools, may not operate as intended. While these changes do not usually affect the fundamental availability of the online casino, they can diminish the quality and efficiency of your interactions with 7Bit.
Disabling analytical cookies can limit 7Bit’s ability to understand how you and other users in New Zealand interact with blackcatrelics.com, thereby making it more difficult for 7Bit to identify and resolve performance issues or to enhance the design of the Website. Although this does not typically affect your immediate access to services, it can indirectly impact the speed at which 7Bit is able to detect and address usability problems, technical glitches, or bottlenecks in processes such as responsible gaming limit setting or verification flows.
If you disable marketing and targeting cookies, you will still see promotions and offers on 7Bit, but these will be more generic and less tailored to your interests or playing habits. You may also receive repeated exposure to the same banners or offers, as frequency capping and targeting features may no longer operate effectively. From a responsible gaming perspective, certain personalised reminders or nudges designed to encourage balanced play or highlight safer gambling tools might become less precise or frequent, although 7Bit will continue to implement baseline responsible gaming measures for all users.
Overall, while you retain full control over your cookie settings via your browser or device, 7Bit advises you to consider the potential trade-offs between privacy preferences and functional reliability. For essential security, anti-fraud, and responsible gaming purposes, some cookies must remain active, and blocking them may prevent you from using blackcatrelics.com entirely. If you are unsure which settings are appropriate for your situation, you may wish to contact the 7Bit support team for guidance.
12. Updates to This Policy
7Bit may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, technological developments, or the evolving nature of the services provided on blackcatrelics.com. Changes may also be necessary when new types of cookies or similar technologies are introduced, when 7Bit begins using existing cookies for materially different purposes, or when new third-party providers are integrated into the Website. As privacy and data protection standards evolve in New Zealand and internationally, 7Bit will review and, where appropriate, revise this Cookie Policy to ensure that it continues to provide clear and accurate information about cookie practices.
When substantive changes are made to this Cookie Policy, 7Bit will take reasonable steps to inform users, which may include updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this document, posting a notice on 7Bit, or presenting a notification banner or pop-up when you next access the Website.
