Cookie Policy Overview
Rivercall Roast uses cookies and similar technologies on http://rivercallroast.com to provide transparency, security and a consistently high level of service. This Cookie Policy outlines what cookies are, the types we use, how we use them, and the choices you have in relation to your browser settings.
This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions, which describe how we handle personal information more broadly across our restaurant, private events and offline poker-night operations.
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 make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to site owners.
At Rivercall Roast, cookies help us remember your preferences, understand how guests navigate our pages and support key functions such as reservation enquiries and access to information about our menu, private events and hosted in-venue poker evenings.
Types of Cookies We Use
We use a limited and considered range of cookies to support a premium yet privacy-conscious online experience.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the core functionality of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as navigating between pages, submitting a booking enquiry form or updating consent preferences.
Without these cookies, some basic features of the site may not function properly or may not be able to respond securely to your requests.
Performance Cookies
Performance cookies help us understand how visitors use our website so we can refine layout, navigation and content. They collect information in an aggregated form, such as which pages are most frequently visited, how long visitors stay, and whether any error messages are encountered.
This insight allows us to improve the way information is presented about our restaurant, private events and offline poker-night experiences, without identifying individual guests.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalisation, such as remembering your location preferences, previously entered form details or certain display settings.
These cookies support a smoother browsing experience while you explore our menus, availability information and hospitality offerings.
How Cookies Are Used
Rivercall Roast uses cookies in several ways that are closely linked to the operation of our website and the services we promote:
- Maintaining secure sessions: ensuring that forms and basic session flows, such as navigating from our menu to the reservations section, are handled securely.
- Remembering bookings or preferences: temporarily recalling information you have entered, such as your preferred dining date, party size or event type, to streamline enquiry submissions.
- Analysing aggregate site usage: understanding how frequently pages like Menu, Events and Poker Nights are viewed, so we can present information clearly and efficiently.
- Supporting performance and reliability: monitoring general performance indicators (for example, loading times) to keep the site responsive for guests browsing on different devices.
We do not use cookies to offer online gambling services, provide online betting interfaces or create digital gaming accounts. All poker-night activities promoted on this website relate strictly to in-person events held at our physical venue.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage or disable cookies at any time by adjusting your browser settings. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their preference tools, including blocking certain types of cookies, deleting existing cookies or setting alerts before cookies are stored.
The following links provide guidance for popular browsers:
- Google Chrome: refer to the “Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data” section in Chrome settings.
- Mozilla Firefox: see the “Cookies and site data” controls under Firefox privacy settings.
- Safari (macOS and iOS): review cookie and website data settings in the Privacy tabs on your device.
- Microsoft Edge: follow the cookie and site permission options within Edge settings.
If you use multiple devices (for example, a phone and a laptop), you will need to manage your cookie settings separately on each device and browser.
In addition to browser tools, you may see on-site prompts or banners inviting you to acknowledge or refine your cookie preferences when you first visit our website or after we make significant updates to this Policy.
Cookie Duration and Storage
Cookies used on our website fall into two broad duration categories:
- Session cookies: these are temporary cookies that remain on your device only for the duration of your visit. They are deleted once you close your browser. Session cookies often support navigation, security and short-lived preferences such as a draft reservation enquiry.
- Persistent cookies: these cookies remain stored on your device for a set period or until you delete them via your browser settings. Persistent cookies may be used to remember your preferences or to provide aggregated analytics over time so we can better understand how guests are discovering our restaurant and hospitality offerings.
Exact retention periods vary based on the purpose of each cookie and any associated legal or operational requirements.
Third-Party Cookies
We may use cookies set by trusted third-party providers to help us measure website performance, understand how visitors discover Rivercall Roast, and refine our communications. These third parties may collect information such as page views, device types and high-level geographic trends in an aggregated, non-identifying form.
Where third-party cookies are used, they are subject to the privacy and cookie policies of those providers. We select partners carefully and use these tools only to support legitimate hospitality, communications and service-improvement purposes, not to facilitate online gambling or financial gaming activities.
Impact of Disabling Cookies
You are free to disable or delete some or all cookies at any time. However, doing so may affect how our website functions and the ease with which you can submit or review information.
If certain cookies are disabled:
- Some features, such as saving your details between reservation-related pages, may not work as intended.
- Parts of the site may load more slowly or appear less tailored to your device and preferences.
- Analytics information may be less complete, which can limit our ability to refine navigation, content and access to information about our restaurant, private events and poker nights.
Strictly necessary cookies that support basic security and core functions are required for the website to operate properly. These cookies are minimal and are not used to build detailed guest profiles.
Australian Privacy Compliance
Rivercall Roast is an Australian restaurant and hospitality venue, and we manage personal information in line with relevant Australian privacy laws, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.
Where cookies or similar technologies collect information that can reasonably be linked to an identifiable individual, we treat that information as personal information. We use it only for legitimate purposes connected to our hospitality services, such as managing enquiries, improving guest experience and communicating about our dining, private event and offline poker-night offerings.
We do not use cookies to promote or provide access to online gambling services. All poker experiences promoted on this website take place in person at our physical venue and are subject to responsible service, age restrictions, venue rules and applicable Australian laws.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect operational changes, hospitality offerings, legal requirements or regulatory guidance. When we make material updates, we will revise the “Last updated” date below and may provide an on-site notice where appropriate.
We encourage you to review this Policy periodically so you remain informed about how we are using cookies to support your experience while browsing our website.
