Legal information

Cookie policy

This Cookie Policy explains, in plain English, how The Grand Hearth may use cookies and related browser technologies when you visit https://thegrandhearth.com. It describes what those tools are, why they can be useful, and the choices available to you through your browser and any site controls that are presented.

Website scope

This policy concerns browsing this website and managing website choices. It does not govern the restaurant’s on-site dining service or physical card-room operations. The site shares information about the menu story, restaurant setting, Texas Hold’em tournaments, the card room, high roller evenings, and poker tables as physical on-site table events; it does not provide online poker or online gambling.

What cookies are

Small browser records

Cookies are small text files that a website can place in your browser or device storage when you view a page. They can help a site recognise that browser during a visit or remember an action you have already taken. A cookie is not automatically a complete record of who you are, and not every visit creates every possible kind of cookie. Their role depends on the way a particular site feature is made available.

Related browser technologies

Websites may also use related storage or technical tools that perform a similar role. For example, a tool may remember a setting, record that a notice has been seen, or retain a choice while you move between public pages. In this policy, we use the word “cookies” as a convenient umbrella term for cookies and comparable browser technologies. We do not name particular products here because the relevant technology can change over time.

What cookies do not change

Cookie information relates to website browsing; it does not alter the nature of The Grand Hearth’s in-person hospitality experiences. You may use the site to read about the menu, the restaurant setting, or the card room. Any Texas Hold’em tournament and poker-table session described here is a physical on-site table event. Cookies do not turn those restaurant and event pages into an online poker or gambling service.

Cookie purposes on the site

  1. 01

    Essential operation

    Cookies or comparable storage may be used where they are needed to support core website operation, help protect the site, or record a visitor’s chosen consent state. These functions can help a page behave consistently while you browse. If strictly necessary functions are blocked at browser level, some parts of a site may not work as intended. This is a general explanation, not a claim that every operational feature is active on every visit.

    Remembering preferences

    Preference storage may remember choices you make while browsing, such as a consent selection or an available site-display preference. Where it is used, this can reduce repeated prompts or the need to make the same choice again during later navigation. A remembered preference is not guaranteed to carry across every browser, device, private-browsing session, or future site change. Your browser settings can also affect whether a preference remains available.

    Understanding site use

    Measurement technologies may help The Grand Hearth understand, at a broad level, how visitors move through public pages such as the menu story, restaurant setting, and on-site event information. That understanding can help us improve page structure, clarify useful information, and make the site easier to navigate. We do not identify a measurement provider in this policy. Any use of this kind should be read alongside applicable privacy information.

    Third-party content where present

    Where a third-party service is embedded in, or linked through, the site, that service may set its own cookies under its own policy. This depends on whether that content is present and whether you choose to interact with it. If you use such a service, review the information provided by that third party for its own cookie practices and controls. This does not imply endorsement or a transfer of restaurant event information to that service.

Managing cookies in your browser

Use browser controls

Most browsers let you review, block, limit, or delete cookies through their settings. The controls available to you depend on the browser and device you use, so the most useful next step is to consult that browser’s help or support section. You can usually make choices for all sites or review information saved by individual sites. Browser controls operate at browser and device level, rather than as a single setting that automatically applies everywhere you browse.

Consider the effect of blocking cookies

Restricting or deleting cookies can mean that certain remembered choices, notices, or site features do not work as expected on a later visit. You may see a prompt again, need to make a choice again, or notice that a setting is no longer retained. This is a practical consequence of removing browser storage, not a warning that essential restaurant information will become unavailable. You can adjust browser controls whenever you need to reconsider your choice.

Review your consent choices when available

Where cookie-consent controls are presented on the site, you may use those available controls to revisit your choices. This page does not replace those controls or describe a particular banner workflow. If you need help understanding this policy or how cookie choices relate to your visit, contact The Grand Hearth at [email protected].

Changes to this policy

Policy updates

The Grand Hearth may update this Cookie Policy when website practices, technologies, or relevant requirements change. We do not set out a revision history or an unverified effective date on this page. If you would like to understand the current approach, check this page periodically for the version that is published at the time you visit. The wording is intended to explain the policy clearly without overstating a particular technical implementation.

Questions before or after an update

If you would like clarification about cookie use or how this policy applies to your website visit, please write to [email protected]. We can explain the website information in this policy and direct your enquiry to The Grand Hearth.
