This Cookie Policy explains how The Gilde Dodds uses cookies and similar technologies when you browse https://thegildedodds.com. It is about website browsing and online choices. It does not govern offline poker, the card room, restaurant service, poker tables, live gatherings, or other face-to-face experiences at the venue.
01
Definitions and scope
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website may store on, or access from, a browser or device when you visit it. They can help a website recognise a browser during a visit or on a later return, remember a preference, or understand activity across pages. Similar technologies may perform comparable functions without being described as cookies in the same way.
This policy explains the categories of technologies that may be used on https://thegildedodds.com. It is intended as a clear overview, rather than a technical inventory of every possible file, setting, or device identifier that could be encountered while using the website.
Where this policy applies
This Cookie Policy applies to use of The Gilde Dodds website and should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. The Gilde Dodds is a restaurant and card lounge website, but this document does not govern face-to-face interactions at the restaurant, card lounge, card room, poker tables, live poker gatherings, or social poker entertainment. Those in-person experiences are not website technologies.

Cookie categories
How cookies may be used
Cookie categories are a practical way to explain why a website may store or access information on a device. The cookies or similar technologies you encounter can depend on the pages you visit, the features you choose to use, your browser settings, and any consent choices available to you. The descriptions below explain potential functional purposes rather than naming particular services.
Necessary cookies
Necessary cookies may support core website operation, security, navigation, form flow, and the recording of a preference or consent choice where applicable. They can help a browser move between pages in a reliable way or allow a selected website function to work as expected. Depending on the feature used, this may include supporting continuity for a reservation request or poker-session enquiry form. Restricting these functions may affect how the website operates or prevent some features from being available.
Preference cookies
Preference cookies may help retain choices that make a return visit more convenient, such as a consent selection or an available display preference. Their use depends on the relevant website feature being available and being used. These technologies are described separately from core operational functions because their purpose is generally to remember a choice or tailor an aspect of the browsing experience, rather than to provide every essential website function.
Analytics and performance cookies
Where enabled and where used, analytics or performance cookies may help website operators understand, in aggregate, how pages are visited and how people interact with website content. This can assist with improving navigation, page structure, and the usefulness of information over time. These technologies are optional where used, and the actual information available can depend on the relevant settings, pages visited, browser configuration, and consent choice.
Optional where used.
Third-party technologies
Third-party or embedded-content technologies may potentially be set by services that you choose to interact with, where those services are available. Their purposes can differ from this website’s own functions, and they may use settings or notices that are not controlled through this site. If you elect to engage with a third-party service, review the information and controls provided by that service where applicable. This policy does not replace a third party’s own privacy or cookie information.
Third-party controls and policies may differ from settings available on this website. The presence, availability, and behaviour of any external technology can depend on the interaction you choose and the provider’s own arrangements.

Controls and submitted forms
Managing cookie preferences
Where available on this site, you may be able to revisit optional cookie choices through the website’s separately managed consent settings. Changing a choice can affect future use of optional technologies from that point onward. It does not make a retrospective guarantee about information already processed, and it does not control browser-level cookies or technologies outside this website. The settings are provided as one site-level route for reviewing available preferences.
Browser controls
You can also use browser settings to delete, block, or limit cookies on your device. The process differs by browser and device, and a browser control may not produce the same result across every technology or third-party interaction. Restricting cookies can affect website features, saved choices, or the continuity of a browsing session. If you change browsers, use a different device, or reset browser data, review the settings again.
Check your browser’s help information for instructions that apply to your browser and device.
Consider the possible effect on website features and preferences before blocking or deleting cookies.
Review your choices after changing devices, browsers, or browser data settings.

Privacy context
Cookies and personal information
Cookies and similar technologies can involve information associated with a browser, device, or website activity. Depending on how information is used or combined with other information, it may be personal information. For example, information about a browser’s interaction with a page may have a different privacy context when it is connected with information provided through a website form. The relevant context, technology, settings, and interaction all matter.
This Cookie Policy is limited to explaining website cookies and similar technologies. It does not promise that a particular type of information is anonymous, and it does not describe every possible use of personal information. For broader information about how personal information may be handled in connection with The Gilde Dodds website and venue services, please refer to the related policy.
Third-party notices
If you choose to engage with a third-party technology or service where one is available, that provider may have its own notices and settings. Those arrangements may apply in addition to, or differently from, the choices presented on this website. Review the relevant third-party information where applicable before relying on its controls or privacy statements.
