What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a browser can store when you visit a website. They can help a website remember information about a visit, or recognise a browser when it returns. That information might support a basic website function or help the site present a more consistent experience. Cookies are neither automatically harmful nor automatically beneficial; their effect depends on how and why they are used.
Related technologies can perform similar jobs. For example, local storage or other browser- and device-based technologies may store or access information so a website can provide a relevant function. In this policy, we use the word “cookies” as a convenient collective term for cookies and similar local technologies where that makes the explanation easier to follow.
This explanation relates to browsing information on the Odds & Orchard website, including pages about the card lounge, private card room, poker-table formats, dining, hosted evenings, event flow, editorial content and the enquiry pathway. It does not describe account creation, payments, online poker or transactional activity.
