This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how PoweredNZ uses them, and how you can manage your preferences.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit them. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how you use the site. Some cookies are temporary (session cookies) and are deleted when you close your browser, while others remain on your device for a set period (persistent cookies).
