Policy scope
01. Using this policy
The Hidden Parlour Cookie Policy applies when you use thehiddenparlour.com, including while considering restaurant dining, Offline Poker, Card Lounge gatherings, Poker Tables, events, private functions or venue reservations. It explains cookie use in a practical way. You can use the contents to move to a particular subject, or continue reading for the full context.
Cookie basics
02. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that can be stored by your browser or device when you visit a website. They can help a site remember a browser, support a step in a visit, or assist with the way a website works from one page to the next.
Cookies are not programs. They do not, by themselves, give The Hidden Parlour unrestricted access to your device or its contents. Their purpose depends on the website’s current configuration and the choices available to you when you visit.
Website use
03. How we use cookies
Functional continuity. Where applicable, cookies may help pages, forms and consent choices work as expected. This can include supporting a visit as it moves between pages and helping core website functions operate consistently.
Visitor experience. Some cookies may remember non-sensitive selections that you make on the website, where that function is available. This can make a return visit more convenient without suggesting that reservation, dining or poker details are stored in a cookie.
Site improvement. Where optional measurement has been enabled, cookies may help us understand which information visitors find useful, such as pages about dining, the Card Lounge, a private Card Room or Poker Tables. This helps us consider how clearly the website is organised and presented.
Cookie types
04. Cookie categories
The categories below describe purposes cookies may serve, subject to the website’s current configuration. Not every optional category will necessarily be active at all times.
Essential cookies may be required for the website to function properly. Depending on the current configuration, they can support examples such as security measures, load balancing, session continuity, form operation or saved consent choices. These examples describe core operational purposes where applicable; they do not mean every purpose is used on every visit. Because they support basic site operation, essential cookies may remain necessary even when optional choices are changed.
Preference cookies can remember choices made on the website and may make a return visit more convenient where they are used. For example, they may relate to an acknowledged notice or a display preference. They are not intended to imply that The Hidden Parlour stores reservation, dining or poker details in a cookie. If this category is available through the shared preference control, you can review the optional choice there.
Analytics cookies may help us understand how visitors navigate the website and which pages appear useful, where optional measurement has been enabled. This may include the way people explore restaurant dining, Offline Poker, the Card Lounge or Poker Tables content. Reporting may be considered in aggregate where applicable, to help us assess content and site performance. We do not name a particular measurement provider here because website tools can change.
Marketing or third-party cookies may be set by external services where those services are enabled on the website. Whether they are present depends on the current website configuration and the content or service being used. These cookies are optional where used. You can use the shared cookie choices, where available, and your browser controls to manage optional cookies. This policy does not assume that particular advertising, social, map or other external services are active.
Your controls
05. Manage cookie choices
You can review or amend optional cookie preferences through the shared cookie-preferences control provided for this website. Your choices help determine whether optional categories are used where they are available. Essential cookies may still be necessary for core website functionality. Changing an optional preference can affect some optional website features or the way a future visit is tailored, where those features are enabled.
Browser settings
Most browsers also provide controls for managing cookies stored on your device. These controls can usually let you review, delete or block cookies. Browser menus and instructions can change, so consult your browser’s current help material for guidance that applies to the version you use.
- Review stored cookies and website data through your browser settings.
- Delete cookies if you would like to remove previously stored website records.
- Block cookies if preferred, noting that this can affect how some parts of the website work.
