Cookies at The Velvet Token

Welcome to The Velvet Token's Cookie Policy. This page explains how we use cookies on our website to support a premium, user-centric experience that reflects the refined atmosphere of our restaurant and offline poker lounge in Australia.

Applies to https://thevelvettoken.com Region: Australia (AU) · Language: English (EN)

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 more efficiently, to provide a smoother browsing experience, and to supply website owners with information that helps refine and improve their digital services.

On The Velvet Token website, cookies help us ensure that pages load correctly, that you can move seamlessly between our restaurant, menu and offline poker lounge content, and that your preferences are remembered from one visit to the next.

Types of cookies we use

To deliver a refined online experience that matches our in-venue standards, The Velvet Token uses several categories of cookies, each serving a specific purpose:

  • Essential cookies that are necessary for the basic operation and security of the website.
  • Performance and analytics cookies that help us understand how guests use the site so we can enhance layout, content and navigation.
  • Functional cookies that remember your choices, such as language, region and display preferences, to create a more personalised experience.

We do not use cookies to create profiles for real-money play, and our offline poker, card lounge, card room and poker tables are strictly for recreational social entertainment using symbolic poker chips only.

Purpose of cookies on our site

Cookies on The Velvet Token website support both usability and the editorial style of our digital experience. Key purposes include:

  • Remembering your preferences, such as your preferred language and region, so that you can quickly explore our restaurant, menu and offline poker pages without repeating selections.
  • Supporting smooth navigation between sections such as the restaurant, card lounge, offline poker evenings, private events and contact pages.
  • Enabling service features like enquiry forms for reserving a dining table or requesting a private poker lounge or card room experience using symbolic poker chips.
  • Maintaining security for any forms or private areas you may access while viewing our content.
  • Improving content relevance by helping us understand which pages guests visit most, for example offline poker nights, Texas Hold'em evenings or premium dining sections.

Managing your cookie preferences

You have control over how cookies are used on your device. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookie settings, including reviewing, disabling or deleting cookies. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect how smoothly our website functions.

Steps to manage cookies will vary depending on your browser, but generally you can:

  • Review existing cookies stored on your device through your browser settings.
  • Block all or selected cookies by adjusting privacy or site settings.
  • Delete stored cookies either for specific websites or for your entire browsing history.

  • Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions

If you choose to refuse or delete cookies, some features of The Velvet Token website may not function as intended, including certain navigation elements and reservation enquiry forms for restaurant tables or private offline poker lounge experiences.

Third-party cookies

In some cases, we may work with carefully selected third-party providers that place cookies on your device when you visit The Velvet Token website. These third-party cookies are typically used for:

  • Analytics services that help us measure how guests discover and navigate our restaurant and offline poker pages.
  • Embedded media or social features that allow you to view rich content or share aspects of The Velvet Token experience.

These third parties act in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. We aim to work only with providers that align with Australian privacy expectations and that do not use cookies to promote gambling or real-money activities. Our offline poker lounge, card room, card lounge and poker tables remain dedicated to recreational social entertainment using symbolic poker chips.

You can manage third-party cookies via your browser settings. Blocking these cookies may affect the performance of embedded content or social features, but will not change your ability to learn about our restaurant, menu or offline poker evenings.

Cookies can be stored on your device for different lengths of time depending on their purpose:

  • Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close it. They help maintain a smooth journey during a single visit, for example while exploring restaurant information and then viewing offline poker lounge details.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They help the site remember your preferences across multiple visits, such as language, region, or whether you have already responded to cookie consent prompts.

The Velvet Token aims to keep cookie duration aligned with their legitimate purpose, retaining data only for as long as needed to provide a stable, secure and enjoyable browsing experience. Where possible, cookies are configured with limited lifetimes and aggregated data is used for improvement rather than detailed individual tracking.

You can review and delete cookies at any time through your browser settings if you would like to shorten or reset these durations.
