You can accept, refuse or customise non-essential cookie categories through our consent controls. Cookies required for the website to function securely remain active.
01What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, phone or other device when you visit a website. They allow the website or an approved service provider to recognise your browser and remember certain information.
Some cookies last only for the current browsing session. Others remain until they expire or you delete them. Similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels or tags, may perform related functions and are covered by this policy where relevant.
02How We Use Cookies
3D Print It may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- operate, secure and maintain our website and online store;
- remember your cart, session, consent and website preferences;
- understand how visitors use the website and improve its performance;
- support customer-service and interactive website features; and
- measure or improve marketing where you have allowed that category.
The cookies available on a visit can vary depending on the pages, features and third-party services you use.
03Functional Cookies — Always Active
Functional cookies include cookies that are strictly necessary for core website operations. They help provide functions such as page navigation, security, network management, shopping-cart operation, checkout, fraud prevention and recording your consent choice.
Because the website cannot operate reliably without these cookies, they are always active and do not depend on consent. Blocking them in your browser may cause parts of the website or checkout to stop working.
04Preference Cookies
Preference cookies allow the website to remember choices that change how it behaves or appears. These may include display, language, region, accessibility or other personalised settings.
If you do not allow this category, the website will still provide its core functions, but it may not remember some choices between visits.
05Statistics Cookies
Statistics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website—for example, which pages are visited, how visitors move through the site, and whether errors occur.
We use this information in aggregate to assess performance, improve navigation and make the website more useful. Where these cookies are not essential, they are used only in accordance with your cookie choice.
06Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to measure campaigns, build a picture of browsing interests, limit repeated advertising or make advertising more relevant.
These cookies may be set by us or by advertising and social-media providers whose services appear on the website. They are not required for core website operation and are used only in accordance with your cookie choice.
07Third-Party Cookies & Services
Some website functions are supplied by third parties, such as payment, ecommerce, security, analytics, embedded-media, customer-support or marketing providers. When you use those functions, the provider may place or read its own cookies or use similar technologies.
Our payment services may include Afterpay. When Afterpay payment or related functionality is used, Afterpay or its service providers may use cookies or similar technologies as part of providing, securing, measuring or supporting its services.
Third-party providers control their own cookies and similar technologies and may process information outside New Zealand. Their use of information is governed by their own terms and privacy notices.
We do not control every cookie or similar technology used by independent third-party providers. Where our website consent controls apply, we will manage non-essential technologies in accordance with your selected consent choices.
For more information about how 3D Print It handles personal information, see our Privacy Policy.
08Consent & Your Choices
When our cookie banner is shown, you can accept all categories, deny non-essential categories or choose categories individually. Where consent is required, non-essential cookies are not intentionally activated until the relevant choice is made.
You can revisit the Manage consent control on the website at any time to change or withdraw your choices. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before withdrawal.
Your choice may be stored in a functional cookie so we can remember it. If you delete that cookie or use a different browser or device, we may ask you to choose again.
09Browser Controls & Do Not Track
Most browsers let you review, block or delete cookies through their privacy or security settings. The exact steps depend on your browser and device. Blocking every cookie may affect cart, checkout, account, consent and other essential website functions.
Browsers may also send a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no universally adopted standard for interpreting that signal, use our consent controls and your browser settings to manage cookies directly.
10Cookie Duration & Details
Session cookies are normally removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until their stated expiry, until they are replaced, or until you delete them. Duration varies according to the cookie’s purpose and the service that sets it.
Active cookies can change when we update our website, plugins or service providers. The categories and controls shown by our cookie banner reflect the consent options currently configured for the website.
11Privacy & Changes to This Policy
Information collected through cookies may include online identifiers, device or browser information, approximate location, referral information and activity on our website. Where that information is personal information, we handle it in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, cookie use, service providers or legal obligations change. The latest version and effective date will be published on this page.
