Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Knave & Kitchen uses cookies and similar technologies on the official venue website, https://knaveandkitchen.com, to support secure reservations, offline poker lounge enquiries, and a refined browsing experience for guests in Brisbane and across Australia.

Our speakeasy restaurant and hidden offline poker card room are built on confidentiality, trust, and a carefully curated environment. The same philosophy guides our technical choices online: we use a minimal set of cookies and only where they are needed to keep the site functioning securely, to improve navigation, and to understand anonymous visitor flows through pages such as the menu, poker, events, and reserve sections.

By visiting or using this website, you acknowledge that cookies may be placed on your device under the terms described below. You may manage or disable cookies at any time via your browser settings, as outlined in the How to manage cookies section.

Knave & Kitchen is a private, land-based Brisbane speakeasy that combines elevated cocktail gastronomy with a hidden offline poker lounge featuring custom felt poker tables, leather poker tables, and professional dealers. In the venue, discretion is absolute: guest identities, conversations, and chip point sessions in the card room are treated with utmost confidentiality.

Our online presence reflects the same principles. We do not use cookies to build behavioural profiles, track guests across other sites, or infer personal preferences beyond what is essential to operate the website. Cookie data is kept as lean as possible and tied to technical functions such as page security, basic analytics, and remembering safe, limited preferences like session choices for reserving a table or requesting access to the card lounge.

Any information supplied through forms on the website, including the Contact Us and Reserve paths, is handled in line with our broader privacy practices and is never used to support online gambling services or third-party marketing networks.

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit. They are widely used across the web to keep sites functioning, remember user actions and preferences, and gain insight into how visitors move between pages.

On the Knave & Kitchen website, cookies serve a narrow and practical role. They help keep navigation smooth across the speakeasy menu, the hidden card lounge descriptions, the secret events calendar, and the request forms for secure entry. Where analytics cookies are used, they operate in an anonymised and aggregated manner, giving us a high-level understanding of how guests discover areas like the offline poker lounge or the dining experience without identifying any individual.

Cookies used on this site do not function like token chip sets on our physical tables. They cannot access files on your device, do not control your hardware, and do not reveal private conversations or offline behaviour beyond how you interact with this website.

Our cookie usage follows a simple, privacy-focused structure. On knaveandkitchen.com we may use the following broad categories of cookies:

We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or tracking you between other websites. All cookies are configured to support a calm, secure browsing experience consistent with the discreet tone of the physical venue.

Strictly necessary cookies are fundamental to the operation of the Knave & Kitchen website. Without them, key pathways such as secure access to the Reserve page, the Contact Us form, or discrete offline poker lounge enquiry panels may not function correctly.

These cookies typically:

• Maintain secure, temporary sessions as you move between sections like the menu, events schedule, and poker lounge overview.
• Support anti-abuse and integrity checks to ensure that forms and secret entry requests are submitted by real visitors, not automated tools.
• Preserve basic technical settings (for example, choice of language variant within English where relevant, or consistency of navigation during a single visit).

Strictly necessary cookies do not store details about chip point totals, card hands, or any personal identifiers relating to your visits inside the physical card room. They are focused purely on secure and reliable website operation. You can block these cookies in your browser, but doing so may prevent the site from working as intended.

Functionality cookies help refine your browsing experience across Knave & Kitchen without storing direct personal data. They are used to recall certain selections or states so that the site feels cohesive as you explore the speakeasy menu, cocktail lists, and offline card lounge details.

Depending on how the site evolves, functionality cookies may be used to:

• Remember that you have acknowledged cookie notices or age restriction prompts, so they are not repeatedly shown during the same browsing session.
• Maintain non-sensitive form states while you navigate between pages before completing a booking or confidential enquiry.
• Support simple display preferences, such as keeping you within the same section of the experience or returning you to a previously viewed area of the card room overview.

These cookies are not used to create a marketing profile, do not record chip point behaviours at our felt tables, and are not shared with third parties for advertising or external analytics overlays.

To keep the website performing smoothly and to refine how information is presented, we may use performance and analytics cookies. These cookies collect aggregated, anonymised data about how users interact with knaveandkitchen.com.

For example, analytics cookies can help us understand:

• Which routes visitors take to reach pages such as the experience narrative or the hidden poker lounge description.
• How often key sections like the menu, events, or reserve pages are viewed, and in what sequence.
• Whether certain pages load slowly or present navigation friction that we should refine.

The data gathered through these cookies is processed at an aggregate level and is not intended to identify individual guests. We are not interested in reconstructing personal browsing histories; our focus is on ensuring the digital approach to the speakeasy and card room is as polished as the physical path to our felt poker tables and leather poker seating.

This website does not use marketing cookies, advertising beacons, or social media pixels designed to follow you across other domains. We do not engage in programmatic advertising, retargeting campaigns, or interest-based ad profiling using cookie data.

Specifically, this means:

• No advertising cookies that log your reading of menu items, card lounge descriptions, or chip point rules for targeted promotions elsewhere.
• No third-party social plugins that inject tracking code to monitor your activity outside of knaveandkitchen.com.
• No external remarketing platforms associated with our offline poker lounge, card room services, or restaurant experiences.

All cookie-based activity remains bounded to this site and to the core aims of operating a secure, informative portal for our physical speakeasy and offline poker lounge in Brisbane.

You are in control of how cookies are used on your devices. Most modern browsers provide controls to review, accept, block, or delete cookies from specific websites, including knaveandkitchen.com.

In general, you can manage cookies by using your browser's settings panel. Common paths include:

• Adjusting privacy and security settings to block or limit cookies.
• Clearing browsing data, including cookies stored from past visits.
• Setting rules so that cookies are removed when the browser is closed.

Please refer to the help pages for your specific browser (such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, or others) for detailed instructions. If you choose to block all cookies, certain features—like smooth reservation flows or some aspects of the Contact Us and Reserve forms—may not function as intended. Strictly necessary cookies are particularly important for site stability and secure navigation.

If you have any questions about how we use cookies, or if you would like more detail about a particular category of cookie in use at Knave & Kitchen, you are invited to contact us discreetly.

For privacy-focused enquiries regarding cookies, offline poker lounge access pathways, or how we protect guest details relating to reservations, please reach out through our confidential entry and enquiry channels:

• Use the Contact Us page to send a detailed question about cookie usage or privacy controls.
• Submit a confidential request for access or clarification via the Reserve page if you are already arranging a dining or card room experience.

When you contact us, please avoid sharing sensitive identification documents or unnecessary personal data. We will respond using the same discretion that shapes our hidden dining chamber and private card lounge operations.

From time to time, we may refine this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our technical setup, security standards, or how guests interact with the Knave & Kitchen website. Any updates will be published on this page and will take effect from the date they are posted.

Where a change is material—for example, the introduction of a new category of analytics cookie or a meaningful adjustment to how existing cookies operate—we will seek to highlight this through a clearly visible notice on the site, such as an updated cookie banner or a short announcement in key sections.

We encourage guests who regularly explore our speakeasy menu, secret events, or offline poker lounge content to revisit this Cookie Policy periodically. Your continued use of knaveandkitchen.com following any changes will be taken as acknowledgement of the updated policy, always underpinned by our commitment to privacy, secrecy, and the quiet prestige of our felt poker tables.
