Cookie Policy Overview
This Cookie Policy explains how The Card & Cleaver uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It details the types of cookies we set, their purpose, and your rights regarding their management and control. By using our website, you acknowledge that essential cookies may be placed on your device to support secure, reliable access to our venue information and booking tools.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. They help enhance your browsing experience, remember your preferences, and provide aggregated data on site usage. Cookies typically contain information such as a unique identifier, the name of the website, and timestamps. They do not, by themselves, tell us your identity, but they can help the site recognise your device from one visit to the next.
Types of Cookies We Use
We utilise a limited set of cookies designed to support a secure, performance-focused, and preference-aware experience on thecardandcleaver.com.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for secure access and basic website functionality. They help ensure that core pages load correctly, that your cookie preferences are honoured, and that secure features such as table booking forms operate reliably.
Performance Cookies
Performance cookies help us analyse aggregated traffic and understand how visitors use our site. This includes insights into which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors stay, and whether any errors occur, allowing us to refine content and improve overall performance.
Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies remember browser-level preferences, such as previously selected options or form inputs, to streamline your experience when navigating between sections like the Menu, Events, and Contact Us pages.
No Advertising Cookies
We do not set cookies for advertising or tracking by third-party networks. Our cookie usage is focused on security, performance, and usability only.
Purposes of Cookies
Cookies help us recognise return visits, improve performance, and support the secure use of our booking features. Specifically, we use cookies to:
- Provide secure, stable access to key pages such as the Menu, Events, and Reservations information.
- Support secure transactions, including table booking or enquiry forms on the Contact Us page.
- Remember user-selected settings or previously entered details to reduce repeated data entry.
- Monitor aggregated performance and usage patterns so we can address technical issues and optimise the experience for guests across devices.
We aim to keep our use of cookies proportionate and aligned with the needs of visitors planning their time at The Card & Cleaver.

You may enable, disable, or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Each browser and device provides its own tools and procedures for controlling cookie behaviour, including blocking certain types of cookies or clearing them periodically.
Please note that disabling some or all cookies could affect essential site functionality. Features such as secure booking forms, saved preferences, or consistent navigation behaviour may not operate as intended if strictly necessary or functionality cookies are blocked.

Third-Party Cookies
We do not knowingly permit third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies on our website. Any visitor analytics we use are selected with a focus on privacy and are configured, where possible, to avoid tracking your personal data across the wider web.
Where third-party technology providers assist us with hosting, security, or analytics, they are expected to handle data in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection standards, with their cookies limited to essential or performance-related purposes only.
