Cookie Policy
This page explains how The Bluff and Brasserie uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It applies to all visitors and is designed to give you clear, practical information about what cookies do, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. We aim to be transparent, respectful, and aligned with our broader approach to privacy and user choice.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used across modern websites and help sites recognise your browser, store certain information, and improve how pages function. Cookies do not contain personal files or programs and cannot access information stored on your device beyond what is shared during your visit.
When you return to a website, cookies allow it to remember useful details such as your preferences or previous interactions. For example, they might help keep you logged in during a session or remember settings you have chosen. Cookies are a standard part of the web experience and are designed to support convenience and usability rather than cause harm to your device.
How We Use Cookies
Essential Functionality
Some cookies are necessary to ensure that our website works as expected. They help maintain stable navigation, enable secure browsing, and support core features such as page loading and accessibility. Without these cookies, parts of the site may not function correctly or could become difficult to use across different devices.
Improving Experience
We use cookies to enhance your overall experience by remembering your preferences and recognising returning visitors. This might include remembering region-related settings or tailoring how content is displayed so your visit feels more seamless, familiar, and aligned with your expectations each time you return.
Performance Insights
Cookies may also help us understand how visitors interact with our website. This information is typically collected in an aggregated and anonymous way and helps us refine menus, improve event information, and make booking journeys clearer and more intuitive over time.
Types of Cookies
Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the basic operation of the website. They support core functions such as page navigation, security, and accessibility. Because they are required for the site to function properly, they cannot be switched off in our systems.
Performance Cookies
Performance cookies help us understand how the website is used so we can improve it. They collect anonymous information about visitor activity, such as which pages are visited most often and how users move through the site.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to provide enhanced features and a more personalised experience. They may remember your preferences or choices, helping create a smoother and more tailored browsing experience during your visit.
Managing Cookies
You can control how cookies are used through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies at any time. The exact steps vary depending on the browser you use, but typically these options can be found within the privacy or settings menu. Adjusting these settings gives you direct control over how your data is handled during your browsing experience.
If you choose to disable cookies, some parts of the website may not work as intended. Certain features could become unavailable or less responsive, and your overall experience may be affected. While you remain free to manage cookies as you prefer, allowing them can help ensure the site functions smoothly and delivers the experience it is designed to provide.
Third-Party Cookies
In some cases, cookies may be set by third-party services that we use to support our website. These may include analytics providers that help us understand site performance or embedded features that enhance functionality. These cookies are used to provide insights or enable specific features but do not change the core purpose of your visit.
Third-party cookies are governed by the policies of the organisations that provide them. While we aim to work with trusted services, we do not control how these cookies are managed once they are set. We encourage you to review the relevant third-party privacy and cookie policies if you would like more detailed information about how your data is handled.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how we operate our website. Any updates will take effect once they are published on this page. We encourage you to check back occasionally so you remain informed about how cookies are used.
