A cookie is a small piece of information that a browser can store or access when you visit a website. It relates to your browser and that particular visit, rather than being a feature of an offline card game or event. Where used, cookies may help a website recognise a setting, support navigation, or understand whether its pages are working in a clear and dependable way for visitors.
A clear policy for a considered visit
This Cookie Policy explains how cookie-related technologies may be used while you browse Clayand Chance, an Australia-focused journal for offline poker, restaurant card lounges, private card rooms, hosted evenings, and in-person hospitality experiences. Cookies are browser-level information that can help support a useful, reliable visit. This page focuses on cookies and similar technologies; please read it alongside our Privacy Policy for broader privacy information.
Cookies in plain language
Possible purposes, clearly explained
Cookie categories describe general purposes that may apply where relevant website features or services are used. They are not a list of named providers or a statement that every category is always active.

01
Essential cookies
Core browsingWhere used, essential cookies may support core site operation, security, navigation, and choices needed for a stable browsing experience. They can assist practical functions that help pages load and move between sections consistently. This category is about keeping a website usable; it is distinct from measuring how visitors engage with editorial pages.

02
Preference cookies
PreferenceWhere available, preference cookies may remember choices that make a return visit feel more consistent. This can include display-related or consent-related preferences. These are convenience features rather than a guarantee that any particular setting is offered on the site, and they may help a browser retain a choice for the relevant browsing experience.

03
Analytics and performance cookies
Performance categoryWhere applicable, analytics or performance cookies may help the site understand which editorial pages are useful or whether browsing paths function well. Measured visit patterns can support clearer information about private poker nights, restaurant card lounges, and hosted poker evenings, without suggesting online gameplay. Such insights may help improve editorial clarity, page performance, and general site reliability.

04
Third-party cookies
External servicesWhere external content or services are present, their providers may place or read their own cookies under their own policies. Clayand Chance does not list providers here because their presence can depend on the feature you choose to use. When interacting with an external service, review that provider’s relevant privacy and cookie information for its own practices and choices.
How cookie information may be used
Cookie-related information may be used to help keep browsing reliable, remember relevant choices where available, and improve the clarity or performance of the website. These possible uses relate to finding and reading information about offline poker and in-person hospitality experiences, rather than to operating an online poker or gambling experience.
- Reliable browsing
Cookies or similar technologies may support a dependable route through articles and planning information, including pages about private poker nights, restaurant card lounges, professional poker tables, hosted poker evenings, corporate gatherings, milestone celebrations, and consultation-led event planning.
- Remembered choices
Where a relevant choice is available, a browser may retain it so that repeated visits are more consistent. This is intended to support the website experience and does not mean that any visitor is individually tracked through an in-person event.
- Editorial improvement
Measured browsing patterns may help identify whether information is clear and whether pages perform reliably. That can inform improvements to the way offline, restaurant-hosted, and in-person hospitality content is presented to visitors planning an occasion.
