About This Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy describes how Kiwii Play Sunlit Cardhouse ("Sunlit Cardhouse", "we", "us" or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit https://kiwiiplay.com or any page within our site, including our restaurant, lounge, poker, events, Texas Hold'em, culture, journal, timeline, private events, contact and policy pages.

We use cookies to support the essential operation of our website, protect the experience of guests browsing from Australia and beyond, and make it easier for you to move between sections such as our restaurant menu, poker salon information and contact details. This policy is designed to help you understand what these technologies are, how we use them, and the choices available to you.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your device (such as a computer, tablet or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners.

On the Sunlit Cardhouse website, cookies help us deliver a seamless experience as you explore our coastal restaurant, card lounge and offline poker offerings. They enable core functionalities such as page loading, navigation between sections, secure form submission and basic preference storage, so your visit feels calm, intuitive and consistent.

Types of Cookies We Use

We aim to use cookies in a minimal and responsible way that supports your time on our site without unnecessary tracking. At present, we use only the following category of cookies:

We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioural profiling or cross-site tracking. Our focus is on providing a secure and enjoyable browsing experience that reflects the relaxed, face-to-face nature of our card lounge and restaurant.

How We Use Cookies

Cookies on our site are used to support practical, low-key features that help your visit flow smoothly, similar to the way thoughtful table settings support an evening of dining and social poker. Specifically, we may use cookies to:

• Maintain site security and integrity – Essential cookies help keep your session secure while browsing different sections, whether you are reading about Texas Hold'em etiquette on the Texas Holdem page or exploring card room culture on the Culture page.
• Improve navigation – Cookies make it easier for pages to remember simple state information as you move from restaurant details to poker salon information, event highlights, journal articles or our evening timeline.
• Remember basic preferences – Where available, cookies can record preferences such as accessibility-related settings, acknowledgement of cookie notices, or a chosen region, so you do not need to re-select them on each visit.
• Support forms and interactions – When you submit an enquiry about dinner and offline poker on the Contact Us or Private Events pages, cookies may help retain basic form state and protect against misuse.

The information stored in these cookies is limited in scope and is intended to support the operation and usability of the website rather than to build detailed profiles of visitors.

Third-Party Services

Some features on our website may rely on services provided by carefully selected third parties. These services can enhance your experience by, for example, helping you find our coastal location or simplifying booking enquiries, in much the same way a host might guide you from the dining room to the poker salon.

Where these services are embedded or integrated into the site, the providers may set their own cookies. Examples include:

• Embedded maps – A map on the Contact Us page may be provided by a mapping service that uses cookies to deliver accurate location information and performance.
• Booking or enquiry tools – If we integrate a booking or enquiry service for restaurant dining or offline poker events, that provider may use cookies to support secure form submissions, session management or basic analytics within their tool.

These third-party cookies are controlled by the relevant providers and governed by their own privacy or cookie policies. Where possible, we work with services that prioritise security and responsible data practices.

You can manage or restrict third-party cookies through your browser settings. If you choose to block them, some enhanced features (such as interactive maps or external booking widgets) may not function as intended, but you can still contact us using the details on our Contact Us page.

Your Choices & Cookie Management

We respect that every guest has their own comfort level when it comes to digital privacy, just as they do with table etiquette in our card room. You have several options for managing cookies during your visit:

• Using your browser settings – Most browsers let you view, delete or block cookies. Typically, you can find these controls in the "Settings" or "Preferences" menu under sections such as "Privacy", "Security" or "Cookies".
• Blocking all cookies – You can configure your browser to block all cookies. However, doing so may affect how our website functions, and some features (including forms and navigation related to restaurant bookings or poker events) may not work correctly.
• Deleting cookies – You can delete cookies stored on your device at any time. This may remove saved preferences, including acknowledgements of cookie notices or other basic settings.

Instructions for managing cookies are usually available in the help section of your browser. For convenience, you can search online using terms such as "manage cookies" plus the name and version of your browser. If you require guidance, you are also welcome to contact us via the details on our Contact Us page.

Cookie Duration

Cookies used by Sunlit Cardhouse on https://kiwiiplay.com are typically set to last only as long as needed to support your current browsing session, similar to how a particular Texas Hold'em hand belongs to a single moment at the table.

In practice, this means:

• Session cookies – Many of our essential cookies are session-based. They are created when you open your browser and visit our site, then deleted when you close your browser.
• Short-lived persistent cookies – Some essential cookies may remain on your device for a limited period after your visit, for example to remember that you have previously acknowledged our cookie notice or certain accessibility preferences. These cookies are designed to expire automatically after a set time.

We do not seek to keep cookies for longer than is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy.

Cookies and Personal Data

The cookies we use are not intended to directly identify you as an individual guest at our restaurant or card lounge. They generally store technical information needed to operate the site or remember limited preferences.

Personal details such as your name, contact information or specific enquiry are only collected when you choose to provide them, for example by filling out a form on the Contact Us or Private Events pages. Where such information is submitted, it is handled in line with our broader privacy practices.

For more information about how we collect, use and protect personal data in the context of bookings, event enquiries or general questions about our offline poker offerings, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, technology, legal requirements or our approach to guest privacy. Any updates will be posted on this page with an updated effective date so you can see when the policy was last revised.

When we make significant changes to how we use cookies, we may also provide additional notice on the site, such as an updated banner or a highlighted message, to ensure you stay informed while exploring our restaurant, lounge and poker content.
