Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how HoldemAndHearth uses cookies and similar technologies to create a refined, secure and seamless browsing experience across our dining reservations, poker evenings and private event enquiries.
By continuing to browse https://holdemandhearth.com, you agree to the use of cookies as described below, unless you adjust your browser or on-site preferences to opt out of non-essential cookies.
Cookie Policy overview
We believe that digital hospitality should feel as considered and effortless as an evening at HoldemAndHearth. This Cookie Policy outlines how and why we use cookies on https://holdemandhearth.com so you can clearly understand what information is collected, how it is used, and how you remain in control.
Cookies allow us to deliver essential website functionality and to refine your journey as you explore our dining experiences, poker evenings and private event offerings. We use them to ensure pages load reliably, to keep reservation and enquiry forms working smoothly, and to understand how guests interact with our content so we can continually elevate the experience.
We do not use cookies to support real-money gambling, and we do not sell your personal information. Our focus is on premium social entertainment, gourmet cuisine and tailored hospitality, and our use of cookies is strictly aligned with that purpose.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to enable websites to function, to operate more efficiently, and to provide information to site owners.
When you visit https://holdemandhearth.com, cookies may be stored on your browser or device. These cookies can recognise your device on subsequent visits, allowing us to remember certain details about your journey and to provide a continuously smooth and secure browsing experience.
Cookies do not typically contain information that directly identifies you, but the information they store and retrieve may be associated with data we hold about your enquiries or reservations. We use this information solely to enhance your dining and event planning experience with HoldemAndHearth.
Types of cookies we use
Our website uses a carefully curated set of cookies that support essential functionality and allow us to understand how guests engage with our content and services.
Performance cookies
Performance cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors use our website. They help us understand which pages attract the most interest, which content resonates with guests, and where we can refine the experience.
Preference cookies
Preference cookies remember your selections and settings, such as preferred event types or the way you interact with our booking touchpoints, so that each visit feels more familiar and tailored to you.
Together, these cookies support a premium, intuitive and reliable experience across our Menu, Poker, Events, Experience, Reservations, Blog and Contact Us pages.
Purpose of cookies
We use cookies to make every interaction with HoldemAndHearth online feel as seamless and curated as an evening in our dining room.
- Remembering preferences: Cookies allow us to remember selected options, such as preferred booking times or event interests, helping us to reduce repetitive data entry across visits.
- Streamlining reservations and enquiries: Cookies support forms on pages like Reservations and Contact Us, ensuring information flows smoothly and that your details are securely processed.
- Analysing site traffic: Anonymous analytics help us understand how guests discover our Menu, Poker and Events content, so we can enhance navigation, clarity and performance.
- Personalising content: Where enabled, cookies help us surface more relevant highlights, such as seasonal chef menus, upcoming poker evenings and private event experiences that align with your interests.
All use of cookies is aligned with our commitment to luxury hospitality, gourmet dining and elevated social experiences, and never to facilitate real-money gambling.
Managing your cookie preferences
You remain in control of how cookies are used when you visit https://holdemandhearth.com.
You can manage, limit or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View which cookies are stored on your device
- Block all cookies or only specific types
- Delete existing cookies
- Set notifications when a website attempts to place a cookie
If you choose to disable essential cookies, some parts of our website may not function as intended, and you may experience limitations with reservations, enquiry forms or secure navigation. Non-essential cookies, such as performance and personalisation cookies, can generally be restricted without affecting core functionality.
Our on-site consent tools, where available, are designed to provide clear options so you can easily adjust your preferences for analytics and personalisation cookies.
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are fundamental to the secure and consistent operation of our website.
These cookies enable key technical features, including:
- Maintaining secure connections as you move between pages such as Menu, Poker and Events
- Supporting the proper display of content and interactive elements
- Ensuring reservation and enquiry forms submit correctly and securely
- Verifying certain booking or submission details to prevent misuse of our services
Because these cookies are required for the site to function, they cannot usually be disabled through our on-site tools. You can still disable them within your browser, but doing so may significantly impact your ability to browse and interact with HoldemAndHearth online.
Performance and analytics cookies
Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how guests use our website, allowing us to refine the experience with the same care we bring to our service in-venue.
These cookies collect aggregated, anonymous data about how visitors interact with our pages, such as:
- Which pages, such as Experience or Blog, are visited most frequently
- How guests discover our site and navigate between sections
- Whether users encounter errors or broken links
- General patterns around interest in dining, poker evenings and private events
We use this information to enhance page structure, loading times, content clarity and the pathways that lead to reservations and event enquiries. These cookies do not track your browsing activity on other websites, and the data they provide is used in aggregate rather than to build individual profiles.
Personalisation cookies
Personalisation cookies help us make your experience with HoldemAndHearth feel more tailored and relevant.
Where enabled, these cookies may:
- Recall your approximate location to surface information that is locally relevant within Australia
- Remember preferred dates, times or event styles you have explored, such as corporate dinners, birthdays or VIP poker evenings
- Support more tailored communications around seasonal menus, featured experiences and upcoming social evenings
Personalisation cookies are used exclusively in the context of luxury hospitality, gourmet dining and premium social entertainment. They are not used to enable or promote real-money gambling activities.

- Marketing measurement for our hospitality experiences, such as campaigns highlighting new menus, poker nights and private event offerings
- Embedded content or tools that enhance how you view imagery, stories or booking interfaces
We do not authorise third parties to use cookies from our website to promote or facilitate real-money gambling. Any third-party cookies are intended solely to enhance the experience of premium social entertainment and hospitality at HoldemAndHearth.
Third parties may have their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review those policies for detailed information on how they handle data collected via their cookies.
