How storage is used on this restaurant and table game website in 2026.
HouseGourmetUK.com uses a small set of cookies and similar technologies so the dining house can remember age confirmation and cookie choice. This page explains what is stored, why it is stored, and how a guest can change that choice.
A cookie is a small record placed by a website. This House also uses session storage and local storage in the browser. Together they allow the site to stay on the tasting menu, Felt Room, and events pages without asking the same questions on every click during a visit.
When a guest selects “I am 18 or over”, a session storage value is saved. It lasts for the browser session only. It is used so the age gate does not repeat on each page of the restaurant and casino salon site. If a guest declines, restriction content is shown, with a path back to the age check.
The cookie bar offers Accept or Decline. The choice is stored locally so the bar does not return on every page load. Accepting allows the House to keep the consent record. Declining still lets the guest read menu, table game, and policy pages, while recording that marketing-style storage is not wanted. Essential age confirmation remains a condition of entry.
The site does not run a public form, so cookies are not used to capture meal preferences, salon seat requests, or guest names. Table game pages do not place a player account cookie. Dining photography and roulette imagery are content, not trackers.
A guest may clear site data in the browser at any time. Clearing data will restore the age gate and the cookie bar on the next visit to HouseGourmetUK.com. That is expected, because the House must confirm adult entry for restaurant and table game material.
The pages load design fonts and icon libraries from public delivery networks so the gourmet house presentation remains consistent. Those networks may set their own technical cookies according to the guest browser. This policy is current for 2026.
