Cookie Policy
A clear guide to cookies at Top 10 Choices
This Cookie Policy explains how Top 10 Choices uses cookies and similar technologies on top10choicess.com, and how you can make choices about them. It applies to your use of this website, rather than to activities that take place in person at the venue.
It covers what cookies are, why they may be used, the broad categories you may encounter and practical ways to manage preferences. As you explore restaurant dining, reservations, the card lounge, card room, offline poker, poker nights or classic card games online, you can use the contents guide below to find the information most relevant to you.
01
Cookies, in plain English
Cookie — a small text file that a website may place in your browser or on your device. It can help the website recognise a browser or remember information connected with a visit.
Cookies can support useful website functions. For example, they may help a page load and operate as expected, remember a choice you have made, or help the website understand broadly how people use its pages. Their role depends on the purpose for which they are set, which is why it is helpful to distinguish essential functions from optional ones.
Good to know Similar local technologies can perform related tasks. In this policy, we use the word “cookies” as a convenient umbrella term for cookies and similar technologies unless a distinction matters. We keep the language general here because the relevant technology can vary with the website feature and your chosen settings.
Cookie categories at a glance
We group cookies by purpose so it is easier to understand why they may be used. The categories available can vary according to the pages and features you use, such as information about restaurant dining, reservations, the card lounge, card room, offline poker, poker nights and classic card games. Your settings can affect whether optional categories operate.
| Category | Purpose | Practical example | Choice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 Essential cookies | These cookies may support core website operation and security. They can help deliver pages, maintain a session or remember a preference that is necessary for a function you have requested. This category is different from optional measurement or marketing. | Keeping a requested website function working as you move between pages, where that support is needed for the site to operate safely and reliably. | Essential |
| 02 Functional cookies | Where a function is offered, these cookies may remember optional choices that make a return visit more convenient. They are intended to support a more consistent experience without being necessary for every basic website function. | Remembering a selected preference or display choice, where the website provides that option, so you do not need to make the same choice again. | Optional |
| 03 Analytics and performance cookies | These cookies may help the website understand broad patterns in page use and improve content or usability. Where applicable, that can include understanding journeys around restaurant dining, reservations and venue information, so the site can be reviewed and improved over time. | Looking at aggregated website use to identify whether information is clear, whether a page is useful or where an online journey could be made easier to follow. | Optional |
| 04 Marketing cookies | If used, these optional technologies may help tailor or measure communications. Their availability depends on the website’s current configuration and your settings; this description does not mean that personalised advertising is always active. | Supporting the measurement or relevance of communications only where that optional activity is configured and permitted by the preference choices available to you. | Optional |

Your choices for optional cookies
You can use the cookie or privacy controls available on the site to choose whether optional cookies operate, and you can revisit those settings through the shared privacy controls provided on the site. Choosing not to allow optional cookies does not prevent you from reading the website, although some optional personalisation or measurement may not operate in the same way.
You can also use browser or device settings as an additional way to manage cookies. Browser instructions differ, and browser-based changes may not remove every similar technology, but they can usually help you:
- Limit which cookies your browser accepts.
- Delete cookies that are already stored in your browser.
- Block cookies for future visits, subject to your browser’s available settings.
Blocking or deleting some cookies can affect the way particular website features work. Check the instructions for the browser or device you use, as the available steps and settings can differ.
Your website cookie choices concern online use of this site. They are separate from attending restaurant dining, visiting the card lounge, joining a card room session, taking part in offline poker or enjoying classic card games face-to-face at physical tables. This policy explains website technologies; it is not a description of venue rules or in-person experiences.

How long cookies may remain
Cookies can remain only for the duration of a visit or for a longer period, depending on their purpose and the settings applied by the site or your browser. A cookie used to support activity during a visit may end when you close your browser. Other cookies may remain for a defined period so that a preference or other relevant information can be recognised on a later visit.
The period is not the same for every cookie. You may also be able to remove stored cookies through your browser settings, even where a cookie would otherwise remain for longer. Browser settings and any available site preference settings work alongside each other and can influence what is stored or allowed.
- Session cookies
- May be used for the duration of a visit and may end when the browser session closes.
- Persistent cookies
- May remain for a defined period where their purpose and the relevant settings allow them to do so.
Policy updates
Top 10 Choices may update this Cookie Policy when website practices, features or legal obligations change. Reviewing this page from time to time can help you understand the current explanation of cookies and similar technologies used in connection with the website, including the choices available for optional categories.
