This Cookie Policy explains how TheGoldenFfold uses cookies and similar technologies on our website to provide you with an optimal, secure and personalised browsing experience. Just as we carefully curate every detail of our modern Australian dining room and poker evenings, we approach our digital experience with the same focus on comfort, clarity and trust.

By using our website, you agree that we may store and access cookies on your device in accordance with this policy and our Privacy Policy. You can manage your preferences at any time, and this page is designed to help you understand how and why cookies are used.

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer, tablet or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to help websites function effectively, improve performance and provide insights that support a smoother, more intuitive user experience.

Cookies may be set directly by our website (first-party cookies) or by trusted third parties whose services we use (third-party cookies). In addition to cookies, we may also make use of similar technologies such as pixels or tags that operate in a comparable way, helping us understand how our website is used and how we can refine it for our guests.

These technologies allow our website to remember your preferences, recognise returning visitors and ensure that certain features, such as secure reservation forms or accessibility settings, operate as intended.

We use cookies to ensure that your experience of TheGoldenFfold online reflects the same ease, warmth and attention to detail that define an evening in our venue. Specifically, cookies help us to:

• Recognise returning visitors so that your preferences and browsing patterns can inform a more tailored experience.
• Understand website usage through aggregated analytics, enabling us to refine layout, navigation and content across pages such as Menu, Poker, Events and Experience.
• Ensure secure operation of core features, including reservation forms, contact enquiries and private event request flows.
• Deliver a seamless premium journey that feels considered and coherent across devices, from mobile browsing on the way to a dinner booking through to desktop planning for corporate functions or celebrations.

Our use of cookies is focused entirely on hospitality, guest experience and website performance. We do not use cookies for gambling, wagering or any real-money transactions.

Our website may use several categories of cookies, each designed to support a calm, intuitive and secure browsing experience:

We do not use cookies to support gambling, betting, real-money gaming or any financial wagering activities. All poker experiences at TheGoldenFfold are strictly social and entertainment-focused, and our digital tracking practices align with this commitment.

To enhance our understanding of how guests engage with TheGoldenFfold online and to support specific functionalities, we may work with carefully selected third-party service providers. These partners may set their own cookies when you visit our website.

Examples include analytics platforms that help us measure page performance and user engagement, or embedded services that enable interactive maps, forms or media elements. Any third-party cookies are implemented to support the hospitality-focused nature of our venue and website.

These partners maintain their own privacy and cookie practices, which govern how their cookies operate. We require that any third party we collaborate with respects applicable privacy laws and does not use cookies served on our site to promote or facilitate gambling, real-money games or wagering of any kind.

You can manage third-party cookies through your browser settings. In some cases, you may also opt out directly via the third party’s own tools or preference centres, where available.

Any personal information that may be collected or inferred through cookies and similar technologies is handled with the same discretion and care we apply to all guest information at TheGoldenFfold.
