This Cookie Policy explains how Level Vanta uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit levelvanta.com. It is written to help you understand the practical choices available while you browse our gaming-information content.
Effective date 7 September 2026
Scope at a glance. This policy applies to website technologies used while you read Level Vanta news, reviews, walkthroughs, editor picks, upcoming releases, retro coverage, and feature articles for New Zealand players. It concerns the website and its features, not game software, console platforms, or the independent policies of third-party games.
Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your device or in your browser to remember information about a visit. Depending on how a cookie is set and used, that information can be read on a later request so the website can recognise a setting, support a page function, or understand that a browser has returned. A cookie does not automatically mean that a person has been identified. Its role depends on the information and technology involved.
Plain-language note
This policy may also refer to similar technologies, including browser or device storage, that can remember preferences or help a website operate. The exact technology can differ according to the browser, device, or feature in use. For readability, we may use the word “cookies” as a convenient collective term for cookies and related storage technologies when they serve a similar practical purpose on Level Vanta.
Cookies can support practical parts of an article-led visit, such as remembering choices, helping a session work as expected, understanding which content is useful, and presenting the site reliably. These purposes can relate to discovering gaming news, reviews, walkthroughs, editor picks, upcoming releases, retro corner coverage, and feature articles. Cookies are not used to change the editorial independence of our reviews, guides, or news coverage.

Essential operation
Strictly necessary cookies may be needed for core site operation, security, and the delivery of website functions you request. They can help pages or preference tools work correctly while you use Level Vanta. Where a technology is essential to a core function, it may still be required for that function to operate. Blocking cookies through browser settings can affect essential functionality in some circumstances, depending on the setting and the technologies then in use.
Category
Function
Preference and functional cookies may remember choices you make so that a return visit can feel more consistent. For example, they may be used for saved display choices or consent-related choices where those options are available. These examples are not a promise that every feature is present at all times. If you disable these cookies, you may need to select some choices again, and parts of the site experience may not remember your earlier preferences.
Measurement
Site improvement
Analytics and performance cookies may help Level Vanta understand, in aggregate, how visitors use pages and where the site can be improved. This can inform how clearly readers find news, reviews, guides, and upcoming release coverage within a gaming-information portal for New Zealand players. It does not require us to describe a specific analytics method or provider here. Where optional analytics choices are offered, you may be able to manage them through the available cookie controls.
Category
External tools
Third parties whose tools or content are used on the site may set or access their own cookies, subject to their own policies. Level Vanta does not control third-party cookie practices in the same way that it controls choices made for its own website. Where a third-party service is used, you should review the relevant provider information for details of its practices and controls. This policy does not replace the terms, privacy notices, or cookie policies issued by those third parties.
Note: External services may apply their own policies and settings.
Your choice
Where Level Vanta presents cookie controls, you can use those controls to accept, decline, or adjust optional cookie categories. The controls and choices available can depend on the site feature and the technology in use at the time. Strictly necessary technologies may still be required to support core site operation. This distinction is intended to make optional choices clearer without suggesting that every cookie can be managed in exactly the same way.
Browser-level control
You can also use browser or device settings to block, delete, or limit cookies. The steps differ between browsers, operating systems, and devices, so consult the help resources for the browser or device you use. These settings may apply more broadly than Level Vanta and can affect other websites as well. Browser-level controls are useful when you want to manage stored information directly from the device you are using.
External services
When third-party services are used in connection with the site, those third parties may process information under their own privacy and cookie notices. Where applicable, you should read the information provided by the relevant service to understand its approach and available controls. This Cookie Policy does not replace third-party terms or policies, and it does not describe the practices of providers that operate separately from Level Vanta.
Level Vanta may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to the website, applicable requirements, or cookie practices. The effective date on this page identifies the current version of the policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically so that you can stay informed about updates that may affect how cookies and similar technologies are described or managed while you use the site.
