Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to keep them secure, and to help operators understand how people use their pages so they can be improved over time.

Cookies created by the website you are visiting are called first-party cookies. Cookies created by other domains are known as third-party cookies. On the Potand Peppeer website we focus on a minimal, privacy-conscious use of first-party cookies to support our restaurant and reservations experience.

How we use cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies only where they are helpful for running a reliable, easy-to-use website for our guests, partners, and event organisers. In practice, cookies on our site are used to:

• enable core website features such as secure form submission for reservations and enquiries
• remember limited preferences, such as your cookie choices, so you do not have to set them each time you visit
• understand, in aggregate and anonymous form, how visitors move through our pages so we can refine content, navigation, and accessibility
• maintain basic performance and reliability, helping ensure that pages load consistently across different devices and browsers

We do not use cookies to run any online gambling services, betting interfaces, or financial transaction systems. All poker entertainment at Potand Peppeer is hosted in person at our venue as part of our dining and hospitality offering.

Types of cookies we use

To keep things clear and simple, we group the cookies used on the Potand Peppeer website into the following categories:

• Strictly necessary cookies – essential to make the site function and keep your visit secure.
• Performance cookies – help us understand how people use the site in aggregate so we can improve it.
• Preference cookies – store limited information about your settings, such as cookie consent choices.

These cookies are used exclusively to support our website functionality and privacy-conscious analytics, with a strong focus on delivering a seamless and safe browsing experience for guests planning a meal, a celebration, or a social poker night at the venue.

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are vital for the basic operation of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. Without them, core features would not work properly. We use these cookies to:

• allow you to move between pages and maintain a secure connection while you browse
• support the correct loading of page layouts, forms, and navigation elements
• keep reservation, poker night, and private event enquiry forms functioning securely while you enter and submit your details
• record your cookie settings so that we respect the choices you make about optional cookies

Because these cookies are necessary for the website to work, they are set automatically when you visit our site. They are used solely for technical and security purposes and are not used to build a marketing profile of you.

Performance cookies

Performance cookies help us understand how visitors as a whole interact with our content so we can keep the experience fast, easy to navigate, and aligned with our guests' expectations. Information collected through performance cookies is:

• aggregated and anonymous – we do not use it to directly identify individual guests
• used to measure which pages are most visited, which links are used, and where visitors may encounter errors
• used to guide improvements to menu layouts, poker night information, and contact or reservation flows

These cookies allow us to refine the way we present our restaurant story, menus, venue gallery, and in-venue poker nights, ensuring that key information is easy to find on desktop and mobile devices.

Preference cookies

Preference cookies remember certain selections you make so that your visit feels more tailored and convenient the next time you return. On our site, this is intentionally limited. Examples include:

• remembering that you have seen and acknowledged our cookie notice, so it does not appear again on every page
• storing your preferred cookie settings, such as opting out of non-essential categories where available

We avoid storing unnecessary personal details in cookies and do not use preference cookies to capture sensitive information relating to your dining or poker night enquiries.

Cookies we do not use

To maintain a calm, privacy-conscious experience, there are several types of cookies and tracking technologies that we simply do not use on the Potand Peppeer website. Specifically:

• we do not use advertising or retargeting cookies designed to track you across other websites
• we do not use third-party marketing pixels or social media tracking tags to build marketing profiles
• we do not use gambling-related tracking cookies or tools associated with online betting platforms
• we do not run cookies for online casino-style services, digital wallets, deposits, withdrawals, or remote wagering interfaces

Our focus is on providing an elegant Australian restaurant and social club experience, with professionally hosted, in-person poker evenings held at our venue – not on following you around the web.

Your cookie choices

You are in control of how cookies are used on your devices. In addition to any choices you make on our cookie notice, you can also manage or disable cookies through your web browser settings. The steps vary by browser, but typically you can:

• view which cookies are currently stored on your device
• delete existing cookies from our site or any other
• block all cookies, or only allow cookies from selected websites
• configure your browser to notify you before a cookie is stored

If you choose to disable certain types of cookies, particularly strictly necessary cookies, parts of our website may not function as intended. This might affect your ability to submit reservation forms, poker night enquiries, or private event requests smoothly. You can still contact us directly using the details on our Contact page if you prefer not to use online forms.

Changes to this Cookie Policy

From time to time we may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to our website, our use of technology, or applicable Australian privacy guidance and legislation.

When we make material changes, we will adjust the "Last revised" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide a more prominent notice on the site. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies at Potand Peppeer.
