Introduction to Our Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy outlines how cookies are used on the TheKitchenTablle website to enhance your experience, support site security and deliver tailored, premium content. As a contemporary Australian restaurant specialising in refined dining and exclusive offline poker evenings played strictly for entertainment, we are committed to maintaining transparency around how data is collected and used when you interact with our digital experience.
By continuing to browse our website, you acknowledge that cookies may be placed on your device in accordance with this policy and your selected preferences. You can update or withdraw your consent at any time, as described in the Managing Your Cookie Preferences section.
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 to enable websites to function efficiently, to remember certain information about your visit and to support a more intuitive and personalised browsing experience.
When you visit TheKitchenTablle, cookies help us remember your preferences, such as your selected reservation details or previously viewed experiences, so that you do not have to re-enter the same information each time. Cookies can also support essential technical processes, like secure page loading and smooth navigation between sections such as our Menu, Poker and Events pages.
Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to create a luxury, cinematic browsing experience that reflects the atmosphere of TheKitchenTablle in person. Specifically, cookies help us to:
- Provide a seamless and stable experience while you explore our dining, poker and private event offerings.
- Remember core preferences, such as preferred booking times or occasion types, to streamline your reservation journey.
- Analyse how visitors navigate our articles, FAQs and resources so we can refine content structure, accessibility and performance.
- Personalise certain on-site elements, such as highlighting relevant promotions, seasonal chef's menus or upcoming poker-themed evenings that may be of interest.
- Maintain site security, detect unusual usage patterns and protect our guests from fraudulent or disruptive activity.
All cookies are implemented with the goal of elevating your digital experience of our premium hospitality brand and never to introduce real-money gambling or wagering functionality of any kind.
Types of Cookies We Use
To support an elegant and reliable browsing environment, TheKitchenTablle uses a combination of cookie types. These may be first-party cookies (set directly by our website) or, where noted, third-party cookies from trusted partners.
Necessary cookies
Necessary cookies are essential for the core functioning of our website. They enable features such as secure page loading, basic navigation, session management and access to protected forms (for example, selecting reservation details on the Reservations page).
These cookies do not store information that directly identifies you and cannot be switched off via our on-site tools, although you may be able to disable them in your browser settings. Without them, the website may not operate as intended.
Performance cookies
Performance cookies help us understand how guests engage with our content so we can continuously improve our digital experience. They may collect aggregated, anonymised information such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on a section and whether any errors occur.
The insights drawn from performance cookies support decisions such as how to structure our Experiences and Blog pages, how to optimise load times and how to refine navigation for clarity and ease-of-use.
Optional cookies for personalisation
With your consent, we may use optional cookies to personalise certain aspects of your visit. These cookies can help us:
- Show you relevant content, such as featured tasting menus, seasonal wine pairings or upcoming themed poker evenings.
- Remember your location preferences to surface information that is most relevant to guests in Australia.
- Support social and multimedia integrations, such as embedded content that showcases our interiors, culinary craft and entertainment experiences.
These optional cookies are entirely focused on enhancing your hospitality journey. All gaming-related elements on our website represent offline poker experiences for entertainment only, and we do not use any cookies that track, promote or facilitate real-money gambling, betting or wagering activities.

Where cookies collect information that may be considered personal or identifiable when combined with other data, we apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, alteration or misuse.
