Cookie Policy

Effective date: 16 September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Poker Refuge Torquay uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, pokerrefugetorquay.com. It applies to all visitors, including those interested in offline poker, our poker room, physical poker tables, and the card lounge.

The policy covers the website only, not the physical venue at 41 The Esplanade, Torquay VIC 3228. We use cookies to improve your experience when exploring offline poker nights, private poker, and restaurant information.

What Are Cookies

Definition of Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your actions and preferences over time, such as your interest in offline poker, the poker room, or the card lounge.

Cookies can be session-based, deleted when you close your browser, or persistent, stored for a set period. Similar technologies include local storage and pixels, which we may use for analytics.

Cookies are not used to identify you personally unless you submit an enquiry form.

Cookies and the Poker Refuge Website

Our website is designed to guide you through offline poker, poker tables, poker nights, and private poker. Cookies help us understand which pages are most useful, such as the poker room or card lounge sections, so we can improve the experience for poker players.

We do not use cookies for online poker, as all poker at Poker Refuge Torquay is physical and face-to-face. Restaurant content is secondary, and cookies may help us see how visitors move between poker and dining pages.

No online poker or digital poker tables are offered.

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic features like page navigation and access to secure areas, such as the poker enquiry form.

They do not gather information about you for marketing purposes. Without these cookies, the website may not work correctly.

The poker enquiry form requires these cookies to process submissions.

All information is aggregated and cannot identify you personally. We use this data to improve navigation and content relevance.

No personally identifiable information is collected via performance cookies.

Functionality cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or region. This helps tailor the experience for visitors interested in Torquay offline poker and the card lounge.

These cookies may remember your consent to the cookie policy. They do not track your activity on other websites.

The website is available in English only, but functionality cookies may still remember your region preference.

Targeting or Advertising Cookies

We do not currently use targeting or advertising cookies on our website. Poker Refuge Torquay relies on direct enquiries and does not engage in online advertising that requires such cookies.

If this changes in the future, we will update this policy and seek your consent where required. Our focus remains on face-to-face poker and the physical poker experience.

No third-party advertising cookies are used.

How We Use Cookies for Poker Enquiries

Poker Enquiry Form

When you submit the poker enquiry form to ask about offline poker, poker nights, private poker, or the card lounge, we may use a strictly necessary cookie to remember your session and prevent duplicate submissions.

This cookie does not store your personal details; it only ensures the form works correctly. Your enquiry is sent to our team, and we respond using the contact details you provide.

Restaurant Enquiry Form

The restaurant enquiry form is a secondary option for dining-related questions. It uses the same strictly necessary cookie mechanism as the poker form, but it is clearly separated to maintain the poker-first hierarchy.

Restaurant content is secondary on this website, and cookies do not change that priority. You can still use the phone number for any enquiry.
