Cookie Policy Overview
This Cookie Policy explains how The Final Fold Feast uses cookies and similar technologies on our website located at thefinalfoldfeast.com. It is designed to give you a clear, transparent view of how small pieces of information are stored and accessed from your device when you browse our site, explore our bistro and lounge offerings, or submit an enquiry.
Our goal is to maintain a secure, user-friendly browsing experience that mirrors the calm, attentive service you receive in our physical venue. We use cookies to support core site functions, improve performance, and help us understand how guests interact with our content, without compromising your privacy or turning the site into an advertising platform.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit. They allow the website to recognise your device and support a range of essential functions such as secure navigation, consistent page layouts, and basic analytics.
On the The Final Fold Feast website, cookies help deliver a smoother browsing experience while still respecting your privacy. They may remember simple technical preferences, support basic security controls, and provide anonymised insights into how guests move between pages such as our bistro, lounge, function, and contact sections.
How We Use Cookies
The Final Fold Feast uses cookies primarily to ensure that our website remains secure, stable, and enjoyable to navigate. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or to sell your data to third parties.
In practice, our cookies are used to:
- Maintain essential technical functions that keep the site running reliably across different devices and browsers
- Support secure connections and help protect the site from misuse or unauthorised access
- Remember limited technical preferences, such as language settings applicable to our Australian audience
- Collect aggregated, anonymised information on how guests use our pages so we can improve layout, content, and performance
Any analytics derived from cookies are used solely to refine the digital experience around our physical hospitality venue and its services, not for targeted advertising or behavioural profiling.
Types of Cookies Employed
We use a restrained set of cookie types that align with the practical needs of running a modern hospitality website while keeping your privacy at the forefront.
Essential cookies
These cookies are required for the core operation of the The Final Fold Feast website. Without them, certain features and security protections may not function correctly.
- Enable key site navigation and ensure pages load consistently
- Support basic security features that help protect forms and session integrity
- Remember certain technical choices needed for usability and performance
Because they are strictly necessary, these cookies cannot typically be disabled via on-site tools, but you may still control them through your browser settings.
Analytics cookies
We use a limited set of analytics cookies to understand how guests discover and navigate our content, including pages such as our bistro menu, private lounge and functions information.
- Collect anonymised statistics about page views, time on site, and navigation paths
- Help us identify popular sections of the site, such as menu details or contact forms
- Inform improvements to content structure, readability, and performance
These analytics are aggregated and are not used to identify individual visitors or to serve targeted advertisements.
We do not use marketing, advertising, or profiling cookies on the The Final Fold Feast website.
Managing or Disabling Cookies
You are in control of how cookies are used on your device. Most web browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies, as well as configure whether new cookies can be stored.
Depending on your browser, you may be able to:
- Block all cookies or only specific types of cookies
- Clear existing cookies from your device
- Receive alerts before a website stores cookies on your browser
If you choose to restrict or disable cookies for thefinalfoldfeast.com, certain features may not function as smoothly. For example, navigation between sections might feel less seamless, or some preferences may not be remembered. However, you will still be able to access and read the majority of our content, including information about our cuisine, lounge, and function offerings.
Third-Party Cookies
The Final Fold Feast does not employ third-party advertising or retargeting cookies on our website. We do not run programmatic ad campaigns or on-site ad placements that track you across other websites.
In some instances, we may link to or embed external services that support our hospitality operations, such as interactive maps, booking utilities, or reservation systems. These external providers may use their own cookies, which are governed by their individual privacy and cookie policies, not by this Cookie Policy.
We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie information of any third-party service you interact with through our website, particularly when making reservations or using location-based tools.
Data Security & Retention
We treat all information associated with cookies on the The Final Fold Feast website with care and confidentiality. Our technical controls are designed to keep cookie-based data secure and to limit access to authorised personnel and service providers who require that information to operate or improve the site.
Cookie information is retained only for as long as necessary to deliver the specific function it was designed for, whether that is maintaining a secure session, providing reliable analytics, or complying with applicable legal obligations. After that period, data is either deleted, aggregated, or de-identified so it can no longer be linked to an individual browsing session.
Cookie Policy Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, our use of technology, or applicable laws and regulations in Australia. Any material updates will be posted on this page, and the revised version will take effect from the time it is published.
We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and related technologies to support your experience of our bistro, lounge, and function offerings online.
