Cookie Policy

Cookie Policy overview

This Cookie Policy outlines the cookie practices used by pocketpairplatter.com, the official website for Pocketpairplatter in Australia. Its purpose is to clearly explain what cookies are, which cookies we use, how they support your visit, and the choices you have in managing them.

Because our venue and website focus on in-person dining, shared platters and offline poker gatherings, we operate with a minimal and transparent approach to data. Cookies are only applied where they are strictly needed to keep navigation smooth, protect the site from misuse and preserve essential settings throughout your browsing session.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, tablet or mobile device when you visit. They are widely used to help websites function properly, operate more efficiently and remember information about your visit.

When you browse pocketpairplatter.com, cookies may store technical identifiers and preference details so that pages load consistently, forms behave as expected and the site remembers certain choices you make. The information stored in these cookies does not personally identify you and is limited to what is required to support basic site functionality.

Types of cookies used

We only use strictly necessary cookies on pocketpairplatter.com. These cookies are essential for the core operation of the website and for providing you with the services you request when you navigate between pages or interact with key components such as reservation and contact forms.

Strictly necessary cookies typically enable security checks, load balancing, basic session handling and preference retention that cannot be reliably provided in another way. Because they are critical to the site functioning correctly, they are always active while you use our website.

Purpose of cookies on pocketpairplatter.com

The primary purpose of cookies on pocketpairplatter.com is to maintain secure user sessions and remember essential settings while you explore our content. Typical uses include:

• Keeping your browsing session active as you move between pages such as the Menu, Lounge, Events and Contact Us sections
• Preserving basic form entries or preferences during a single visit so that you do not need to re-enter the same information unnecessarily
• Supporting technical security controls that help protect the website and its visitors against misuse or malicious activity
• Ensuring pages load in a stable, consistent way for a smooth user experience across devices

We do not use cookies to build detailed profiles of individual visitors or to follow you across other websites. Their role is limited to enabling the core functionality you reasonably expect when visiting a modern, secure restaurant website.

Third-party cookies

Our website does not use any third-party cookies for advertising, analytics or cross-site tracking purposes. We do not permit external advertising networks or tracking providers to place cookies through pocketpairplatter.com in order to profile visitors or deliver targeted marketing.

If we embed external content or tools in the future that rely on third-party cookies, we will update this Cookie Policy to describe those technologies, explain their purpose and outline your control options before they are introduced.

Managing your cookie preferences

Because pocketpairplatter.com only uses strictly necessary cookies, these cookies cannot be fully disabled without affecting the way the website operates. They are required for functions such as secure session handling, basic security measures and essential site features.

However, you remain in control of your broader browser storage. You can manage, clear or restrict cookies and related technologies through your browser settings at any time. Doing so may affect how reliably some pages load or how certain forms behave, but you are free to adjust these settings in line with your personal privacy preferences.

How to disable cookies in your browser

If you wish to modify, restrict or delete cookies stored on your device, you can do so by updating your browser settings. The steps vary by browser, but the general approach is to access the privacy or security settings and adjust cookie controls.

If you use another browser or device, please consult its help documentation for specific instructions on managing cookies.

Data security and cookie storage

We do not use cookies to collect personal or sensitive information such as identification documents, payment details or detailed behavioural profiles. The cookies we use are limited to technical identifiers and essential preference data required for running pocketpairplatter.com.

All data stored in cookies is handled with care and in alignment with our broader privacy and security practices. Where possible, we apply short lifetimes and minimal data fields to reduce risk exposure while still ensuring that the site remains reliable and secure for visitors.

For a fuller explanation of how we protect personal information more broadly, please refer to our Privacy Policy, which can be accessed from the footer or via the Privacy Policy link on this site.

Updates to this Cookie Policy

Our cookie practices may evolve over time as we refine our website, respond to guest feedback or adapt to changes in applicable laws and regulations. When these changes affect how cookies are used on pocketpairplatter.com, we will update this Cookie Policy to reflect the new position.

Any significant changes that materially alter how we use cookies or the choices available to you will be highlighted on this page. We encourage you to revisit this Policy from time to time to stay informed about how we support a secure and transparent browsing experience.
