How Oak and Oddss uses cookies to support relaxed, offline poker and dining online

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 so that websites can function properly, remember your actions and preferences over time, and deliver a more seamless browsing experience.

On the Oak and Oddss website, cookies help us recognise your device between page visits, so that essential features, such as navigation, accessibility preferences and secure forms, continue to work as expected. Cookies can also help us understand how guests move between sections like the restaurant, offline poker, card lounge, card room and poker tables pages, so we can keep refining the online experience.

Why we use cookies

We use cookies to support a calm and intuitive online journey, whether you are planning a relaxed dinner, exploring our live poker atmosphere or learning more about our social card lounge. In particular, cookies help us to:

• Keep the site secure and functioning correctly as you move between restaurant, offline poker, card lounge, card room, poker tables, events, FAQ and contact pages.
• Remember certain preferences, such as your preferred language region (Australia/English), so you can focus on the experience rather than setup.
• Assist with reservation and enquiry flows, for example when you start a restaurant booking or offline poker lounge enquiry and navigate to another section before returning.
• Understand which pages, such as live poker nights, card room overviews or restaurant menus, are the most frequently visited so we can prioritise relevant content and improve navigation.
• Maintain a consistent, card-centric visual experience so that photography, layouts and interactive elements load smoothly as you browse.

Types of cookies we use

The cookies used on the Oak and Oddss website generally fall into the following categories:

• Necessary cookies – Required for the website to operate and for you to move around the site. They support elements like navigation, basic security, forms and access to core pages related to the restaurant, offline poker, card lounge, card room and poker tables.
• Performance cookies – Help us understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are visited most frequently and whether guests experience any errors. This allows us to refine the online journey so it feels as effortless as settling into a well-arranged card table.
• Functionality cookies – Allow the website to remember choices you make, such as keeping basic form details temporarily or your preferred way of exploring content, to personalise your visit across restaurant, offline poker and events sections.

We do not use cookies to track or profile personal behaviour in a way that would alter your offline experience at Oak and Oddss. Our goal is simply to provide a stable, guest-first digital experience that reflects our relaxed, offline poker and dining environment.

Managing your cookie preferences

You can manage, accept or block cookies at any time through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View which cookies are stored on your device.
• Delete individual cookies or clear all cookies.
• Block cookies from specific sites.
• Block all cookies or be notified each time a cookie is set.

If you choose to block or delete certain cookies, some parts of the Oak and Oddss website may not function as intended. For example, forms for restaurant reservations, offline poker enquiries, card lounge information requests, card room viewing or events RSVPs may become less responsive or may not remember your details between pages.

Instructions on how to manage cookies are usually found within your browser’s “Help” or “Settings” section. For convenience, you can search online for the help pages for your specific browser (such as Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge) using terms like “manage cookies” or “delete cookies”.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the Oak and Oddss website to operate. Without them, key features would not work, and you would not be able to enjoy a reliable experience while exploring our restaurant, offline poker lounge and card-centric spaces.

These cookies typically:

• Support core navigation so you can move between the restaurant, poker, lounge, room, tables, events, FAQ and contact pages smoothly.
• Enable basic security and integrity of forms, ensuring that booking and enquiry requests are transferred correctly.
• Help maintain session continuity while you review restaurant menus, check live poker schedules, compare card room options or read about poker tables and events.

Because essential cookies are required for the site to function, you cannot generally opt out of them through any internal mechanism. You can still disable them in your browser settings, but doing so may limit your ability to use the site, including submitting restaurant reservations or offline poker lounge enquiries.

Performance & analytics cookies

Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how guests interact with the Oak and Oddss website so we can keep improving the experience. They do not track personal behaviour in a way that identifies you as an individual. Instead, they provide aggregated insights, such as:

• How often visitors view the restaurant page compared with the poker, lounge, room or tables pages.
• Which sections around offline poker, live poker nights, card lounge, card room or poker tables receive the most interest.
• Whether guests find what they need quickly, such as contact details for event enquiries or information about social poker entertainment.
• How smoothly the site performs across different devices and screen sizes.

We use this information to refine layouts, navigation and content emphasis, ensuring that key experiences—like discovering our live offline poker schedule, viewing card room details or planning a relaxed dinner around the poker tables—remain easy to find and engaging.

Third-party cookies

In some cases, third-party services may place cookies on your device when you visit the Oak and Oddss website. These third-party cookies generally support features such as:

• Social sharing tools that allow you to share a restaurant experience, live poker night or card lounge event with friends.
• Event or newsletter sign-up forms that help manage RSVPs or communications related to our offline poker lounge and dining experiences.
• Basic analytics tools that help us understand how guests discover areas like the card room, poker tables, restaurant menus and FAQ pages.

These third-party cookies are not used by Oak and Oddss to track, profile or collect personal or monetary data. We aim to work only with providers that respect privacy and use cookie data in line with their own published policies. You can learn more about how third parties use cookies by visiting their respective privacy or cookie policy pages or by adjusting your browser settings to limit third-party cookies.
