What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (such as your computer, tablet or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to keep them secure and to gather information that helps operators understand how people use their pages.
When you browse The Parlour Pantry website to look over our menus, card lounge notes or upcoming hosted poker sessions, cookies help the site remember certain choices and keep each page loading smoothly. They also provide aggregated insights that we use to refine the in-person dining and offline poker experience we offer inside our restaurant.
Types of Cookies We Use
We use several categories of cookies on theparlourpantry.com. Each type plays a specific part in supporting a calm, organised path through our restaurant and card room information.
Essential cookies are necessary for our website to function properly. They support basic features such as secure page loading, navigation between sections, and the operation of forms (for example, when you enquire about reserving a poker table or a group dining space).
Without these cookies, some key parts of the site may not work as expected. Because they are required for core functionality and basic security, you cannot disable them through our site tools, though you may still block them in your browser settings.
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website in an aggregated, non-identifying way. They tell us which pages are most frequently visited, how guests move between menu, lounge and poker information, and where they might encounter friction.
These insights guide improvements to our navigation, card lounge format explanations and session dossiers so that in-person card evenings are easier to explore and plan. We configure analytics tools to respect privacy and to avoid using more information than we reasonably need.
Preference cookies remember certain choices you make while browsing, such as acknowledging the cookie banner, your preferred way of viewing information, or how you navigate between restaurant, lounge and poker sections.
By recording these small details, preference cookies help us present information about our card room, hosted poker sessions and dining spaces in a way that feels familiar and efficient each time you return.
Why We Use Cookies
Cookies allow us to maintain a website that reflects the organised, welcoming feel of The Parlour Pantry card lounge. Specifically, cookies support us in:
Refining the experience
Continuous tuning
Analytics show which pages people visit most when exploring our restaurant, card room layout and poker tables, so we can highlight the formats and evenings guests value.
Smoothing navigation
Clear paths
Essential and preference cookies help ensure that moving between our Menu, Lounge, Poker and Formats pages feels intuitive and consistent.
Supporting enquiries
Steady forms
Certain cookies keep form fields working properly when you contact us about in-person card evenings, private group bookings or card room reservations.
Overall, the information cookies provide helps us maintain a website that reflects the relaxed, offline focus of our poker tables while remaining straightforward and accessible for guests of all experience levels.
Managing Cookies
You are in control of how cookies are used on your devices. Most modern web browsers allow you to view, accept, block and delete cookies at any time. The exact steps vary slightly between browsers, but the outline below will guide you through the general process.
General Browser Controls
- Open your browser settings or preferences menu.
- Look for the section labelled Privacy, Security or Site Settings.
- Locate the area relating to Cookies or Browsing Data.
- Select options to allow, block or limit cookies. You may be able to block third-party cookies specifically or set rules for individual sites.
- If you wish, choose to clear existing cookies and cached data, noting that this will remove saved preferences for many sites.
- Save or apply your changes, then restart the browser if prompted.
If you need detailed, up-to-date instructions for a particular browser, you can usually find them by visiting the official support pages for that browser and searching for “manage cookies”.

Possible Effects
Depending on which cookies are blocked, you may notice that navigation between sections feels less smooth, some content does not remember your previous choices, or forms related to reserving a poker table, enquiring about card lounge sessions or organising group dining do not behave as expected.
Disabling analytics cookies will not prevent you from reading about our offline poker formats or browsing our menus, but it may limit the information we use to improve the site experience for future visitors.
Third-Party Cookies
In some cases, limited third-party cookies may be set when you visit theparlourpantry.com. These cookies are used only where reasonably necessary, such as for aggregated analytics that help us understand how many people are exploring our restaurant information and offline poker pages.
When we use third-party tools, we aim to choose providers that respect privacy and give us controls to limit the information gathered. We do not use third-party cookies to create personal profiles of individual guests or to alter the social, in-person nature of our card room community.
Any third-party cookies operate under the respective provider’s terms. You can usually manage or block them using your browser settings or, where available, by following the provider’s own opt-out mechanisms.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements or the way we present information about our restaurant and card lounge sessions online.
When we make significant changes, we will take reasonable steps to bring them to your attention, such as updating the date at the top of this page or displaying a refreshed cookie banner when you next visit. We encourage you to review this page periodically so you remain informed about how cookies are used to support your experience.
