Cookie Policy for The Copper Chance
This Cookie Policy explains how The Copper Chance uses cookies and similar technologies to keep our Australian in-person restaurant and card lounge website feeling smooth, welcoming and reliable for every guest. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.
Cookie Policy overview
This page provides detailed information on how The Copper Chance uses cookies and similar technologies when you browse our website. Our goal is to support a relaxed, in-person focused experience – from exploring our seasonal menu to planning a group table or offline poker evening – without introducing online gaming, remote participation or any form of financial play.
We only use cookies where they genuinely help the site function or allow us to understand how people use our pages so we can keep refining the experience. Cookies used by The Copper Chance are never used to enable online poker, betting, deposits, withdrawals or cash prizes of any kind. Any table chips you may see on our website or in venue are purely decorative, non-financial props that support the atmosphere of our sociable card lounge.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that your browser stores on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to keep sites running smoothly, remember basic preferences and understand general visitor patterns.
When you visit The Copper Chance online, cookies help us provide a more seamless experience as you move between pages – for example when you browse our Menu, explore the Lounge, check out our offline poker sessions, or use our Booking and Contact Us forms.
These cookies relate to your offline browsing experience of our website only. They do not enable or support any form of online poker, remote card play, betting, deposits, withdrawals or financial prizes. Our focus remains firmly on real-world, entertainment-only evenings at our Australian restaurant and card lounge.
How we use cookies
The Copper Chance uses cookies for a small number of practical, service-focused purposes designed to make your visit smoother and more intuitive. These include:
Essential site operation
Some cookies are needed so that our website works properly at all. They help core features run – such as navigating between pages, loading content securely, and keeping form data intact while you complete a booking or enquire about an event.
Service efficiency and performance
We may use cookies that allow us to understand how people generally use our pages – for example which sections are visited most often, or what devices are used to browse the site. This helps us keep the experience fast, readable and responsive for diners across different screens.
We do not use cookies to show targeted advertising, support financial products, or facilitate any style of remote gaming. All of our card lounge experiences are strictly in-person and entertainment-only, supported by a relaxed dining environment.
Types of cookies used
While the exact cookies in use may change as we improve the site, they broadly fall into the following categories:
Session cookies
Session cookies are temporary and only last while your browser is open. They may help keep track of your progress as you move between pages, or assist with short-lived tasks such as submitting a booking form. Once you close your browser, these cookies are deleted.
Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them. We may use them to remember simple preferences, such as whether you have already seen our cookie banner or dismissed a notice, so you are not repeatedly interrupted when browsing our menu or lounge information.
Essential technical cookies
These cookies are required for features like restaurant bookings, newsletter signup forms, accessibility controls, and secure transmission of basic information between your browser and our website. Without them, some parts of the site may not function as intended.
Across all of these categories, cookies are implemented to support your offline, in-person experience at The Copper Chance – for example by making it easier to plan a group visit – not to enable online poker, betting, deposits, withdrawals, cash prizes or any other form of gambling activity.
Cookies and personal data
We are careful about the way cookies interact with any personal information you choose to share with us. In line with our Privacy Policy and Australian privacy expectations:
- Cookies used by The Copper Chance do not track sensitive categories of data such as financial account details, government identifiers or health information.
- Cookies are not used to collect information that would allow any kind of online gaming, betting, deposits, withdrawals or financial winnings.
- Any analytics or technical cookies are configured, as far as practicable, to focus on aggregated usage patterns rather than individual identity.
- If you choose to provide personal details – for example when using our Booking or Contact Us forms – we handle that information in line with our Privacy Policy, not via cookie-based profiling.
Our cookies exist to underpin a comfortable, offline-focused restaurant experience, where card lounge evenings sit alongside seasonal dining, group tables and private celebrations – not financial play.
Third-party services
To run a reliable and modern website, The Copper Chance may work with trusted third-party service providers. Some of these providers may set or read cookies in your browser when you visit our site.
Examples of third-party services we may rely on include:
- Booking and reservation tools that help manage restaurant and lounge bookings, group tables or private events.
- Form and email services that power our newsletter signup or enable you to send us questions about menus, hosts or event options.
- Analytics platforms that provide aggregated insights into how guests move around our site so we can refine content and usability.
Where these services use cookies, they are expected to do so only to support in-person restaurant functions and service quality. They must not use cookies placed via our site to promote or facilitate online gambling, financial trading, remote gaming or any form of deposits, withdrawals or cash-based rewards.
We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie information of any third-party tools referenced in our Privacy Policy for further detail on how they handle data.
How to control cookies
You are in control of how cookies are used in your browser. Most browsers allow you to:
- View which cookies are currently stored on your device.
- Delete existing cookies, either individually or in bulk.
- Block or limit cookies from particular sites.
- Set rules around when cookies can be stored or how long they may be kept.
If you prefer not to accept cookies from The Copper Chance, you can usually adjust your browser settings to refuse some or all cookies, or to alert you before a cookie is placed. How you do this varies by browser and device, so you may wish to refer to your browser's help pages or online support.
Please note that disabling certain cookies – particularly essential technical cookies – may affect how well parts of our site function. For example, it could limit your ability to complete a booking smoothly, browse our menu comfortably or submit an enquiry form without re-entering information. Even where cookies are limited, our venue experience remains strictly in-person, entertainment-only and free from online gambling.
Cookie duration
Different cookies stay on your device for different lengths of time, depending on their purpose:
- Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They are generally used for short-term tasks such as moving between pages or securely submitting a form.
- Short-lived persistent cookies may remain for a defined period – for example days or months – to remember choices such as whether you have already acknowledged our cookie banner.
- Essential technical cookies may have longer durations where needed for security, performance or to ensure forms and preferences continue to operate as intended.
We do not employ tracking cookies designed to follow you across multiple sites for marketing, advertising or gambling-related purposes. Any analytics we use focus on broader trends within our own website so we can maintain a premium yet relaxed experience for diners planning an offline evening at The Copper Chance.
Your consent to cookie use
By browsing and using The Copper Chance website, you acknowledge and consent to the use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy, to the extent permitted by Australian law and your own browser settings.
Where required, we may display a cookie banner or notice when you first arrive on the site. This notice is intended to draw your attention to our use of essential and functional cookies and to direct you to this page for more detailed information.
If at any time you change your mind, you can adjust your browser settings to manage or remove cookies. Doing so may affect how certain features work – particularly those linked to bookings, newsletters and accessibility – but it will not alter our core commitment to offline, entertainment-only restaurant and card lounge experiences.
Policy updates
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, our services, Australian privacy guidelines or feedback from diners and the broader community. When we make meaningful changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the bottom of this page and may provide additional notice on the site where appropriate.
Any updated version of this Cookie Policy will take effect when it is published at this URL: https://thecopperchance.com/cookie-policy/. We encourage you to revisit this page periodically – particularly if you are planning regular visits, events or hosted sessions – to stay informed about how we use cookies to support your experience.

Offline entertainment policy reminder
The Copper Chance is proudly centred on welcoming in-person evenings: seasonal dining, relaxed lounge service, hosted card room sessions and sociable poker tables using decorative, non-financial chips. All activity associated with our card lounge is strictly offline, entertainment-only and hospitality-led.
Our cookies are never used to:
- Enable or promote online poker or remote card games.
- Facilitate betting, deposits, withdrawals or cash-based prizes.
- Connect your visit to financial or gambling products.
Instead, cookie use is limited to supporting the smooth running of our website – helping you to browse menus, understand lounge etiquette, learn about our hosts, plan events and complete bookings for in-person experiences at our Australian venue.
