Cookie Policy Overview
MARCIN SUCHODOLSKI JULK MAR is a multi-page Australian restaurant journal dedicated to thoughtful evening hospitality, shared meals and offline, social poker around a physical table. We use cookies and similar technologies on this site to help the pages behave consistently, to keep your browsing experience comfortable and to support practical features such as navigating articles, sending enquiries and managing reservations.
These technologies are deliberately restrained. They are never used for financial tracking, targeted advertising or to follow what happens at any of our in-person card tables. Instead, they act like quiet markers in the margins of a newspaper: helping the site remember where you are up to without intruding on the story.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that your browser stores when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your browser between page loads or on later visits, so that certain preferences or technical settings do not need to be re-entered each time.
On MARCIN SUCHODOLSKI JULK MAR, cookies help the journal remember simple things, such as that you have already seen a cookie banner, that you prefer a particular navigation layout or that you have started a reservation or contact form. Cookies do not act as listening devices, do not run programs and do not give us direct access to your device.
Purpose of Cookies
We use cookies for a small number of clear purposes, each aligned with the hospitality experience we aim to offer:
- Stability and performance: ensuring pages load consistently, forms behave as expected and navigation between our Manifesto, Menu and other sections feels smooth.
- Preferences: remembering simple choices, such as whether you have acknowledged our cookie banner or whether you prefer certain layout options, so that repeated prompts do not interrupt your reading.
- Session continuity: keeping temporary details in place while you move between a reservation form, a private dining enquiry or our Timeline features.
- Gentle analytics: understanding which stories and pages guests are reading, in aggregate, so we can refine our content and hosting notes without identifying individual guests.
Cookies are never used for financial tracking, gambling purposes, profiling of individual card room behaviour or any form of surveillance. Our poker experiences remain firmly in-person, social and offline.
Types of Cookies Used
To keep things clear, we group our cookies into three main categories, each focused on non-financial and offline hospitality usage:
Necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the site to function properly. They support core features such as page navigation, basic security and access to forms on pages like Reservations and Contact Us. Without these cookies, certain parts of the website may not work correctly.
Preference cookies
Preference cookies remember the choices you make, such as acknowledging banners, saving your place in a longer article or keeping a non-essential setting in place between visits. They exist solely to make the site feel more familiar and are never used to infer financial capacity, risk appetite or any personal profile.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how guests as a whole use the site. They capture high-level patterns such as which evenings see more interest in our Card Room Notes or which devices are commonly used to browse the Hosts profiles. We use these insights to improve content and accessibility. Analytics data is aggregated, and we do not use analytics cookies to track individual card table choices, assign financial values to visits or build advertising profiles.
How We Use Cookies
In practice, cookies on MARCIN SUCHODOLSKI JULK MAR assist with a number of small, tangible tasks that keep the journal and booking experience orderly:
- Reservation support: remembering information you have started to enter into an enquiry or reservation form on the Reservations page so that you can move between sections without losing your details.
- Newsletter and preference choices: recalling whether you have chosen to receive occasional updates from MARCIN SUCHODOLSKI JULK MAR, so we do not prompt you repeatedly with the same request.
- Session security: helping to protect forms from misuse by distinguishing genuine browsing from automated activity.
- Layout continuity: preserving simple view settings so that the site feels consistent on return visits, reflecting the calm of a familiar dining room.
- Experience insights: using aggregated analytics to understand which pages guests are spending time with, informing how we present future menus, timelines and host stories.
Throughout, our use of cookies is conservative. We do not use cookies to record the details of any in-person card games, to attach value or stakes to your visit or to observe behaviour beyond our website.
Disabling or Managing Cookies
You are free to control how cookies are used in your browser. Most modern browsers allow you to:
- View which cookies are stored on your device
- Delete some or all cookies
- Block cookies from specific sites
- Block all cookies, or only third-party cookies
- Receive a prompt each time a site would like to store a cookie
The steps to change these settings vary between browsers. You can usually find them in the privacy or security sections of the settings menu. For detailed instructions, please refer to the help resources for your specific browser or device.
If you choose to disable or block certain cookies, parts of the MARCIN SUCHODOLSKI JULK MAR website may not function as intended. For example, reservation and enquiry forms on the Reservations and Private dining pages may not remember your progress, and you may see our cookie banner more often. The editorial content of the site will remain accessible.
Third-Party Cookies
In some cases, MARCIN SUCHODOLSKI JULK MAR may use carefully selected third-party services to support the experience of the site. Examples can include:
- Embedded maps or location tools to help you find the venue, particularly from the Contact Us page.
- Analytics providers that help us understand general patterns of site use.
When these services are embedded, they may set their own cookies on your device. We take care to work only with reputable providers and configure services so that they are used for functionality and aggregated analytics, not for external advertising, cross-site tracking or the sale of personal data.
We do not allow third-party cookies to be used for gambling-related profiling, financial monitoring, behavioural scoring or targeted marketing. Our focus remains on a respectful, offline card room and restaurant experience.
Retention Periods
Cookies can be stored on your device for different lengths of time. At MARCIN SUCHODOLSKI JULK MAR, we aim for minimal and proportionate retention.
- Session cookies: these are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They are commonly used to keep forms stable as you move between pages in a single visit.
- Short-lived persistent cookies: these remain on your device for a defined period (for example, a few days or weeks) unless you delete them sooner. They may remember that you have acknowledged our cookie banner or keep simple preferences in place between visits.
- Analytics cookies: these may remain active for longer so that we can understand broader patterns over time. Where possible, we configure analytics tools to use conservative retention windows and to aggregate or anonymise data as early as practical.
The exact duration for each cookie type can vary depending on its purpose and technical configuration. Regardless of duration, we do not retain cookie data for the purpose of building individual profiles or for any financial or gambling-related analysis.
Data Protection and Privacy
MARCIN SUCHODOLSKI JULK MAR treats privacy as a core part of gracious hospitality. Our use of cookies is designed to align with Australian privacy laws and with the expectations of guests enjoying a calm, offline evening.
In particular:
- We do not use cookies to collect or process sensitive personal information such as health details, precise financial data or information about your identity at the card table.
- We limit cookie data to what is necessary for functionality, preferences and aggregated analytics.
- Where analytics or third-party tools are used, we seek to configure them in a privacy-conscious manner, using aggregation, pseudonymisation or other protective measures where suitable.
For a broader description of how we handle personal information, including contact and reservation details, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
Host and Venue Considerations
Our card room and dining spaces are built around in-person connection. Cookies play no role in tracking or monitoring behaviour at the venue itself. They do not observe how you move through the room, how you participate at a hosted table or how long you remain at a particular setting.
Specifically:
- Cookies are limited to the digital journal and related online forms; they are not used to monitor in-person card room activity or dining interactions.
- We do not attach cookies to physical chips, cards, seating arrangements or any part of the offline poker experience.
- Any notes our hosts keep about evenings in the venue are managed separately, with a focus on service quality rather than digital tracking.
All poker at MARCIN SUCHODOLSKI JULK MAR is hosted only in person for social entertainment, with no financial participation. Our cookie practices are consistent with this philosophy.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, your choices or how cookies are used on the MARCIN SUCHODOLSKI JULK MAR website, we welcome the conversation.
You can reach us via the Contact Us page for general enquiries, or through the Reservations page if your questions relate to a particular booking or hosted table. When you get in touch, please mention that your enquiry is about cookies or privacy so that we can direct it appropriately.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation or our hospitality practices. When we make meaningful changes, we will adjust the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide a clear notice within the site.
