Cookie Policy
What cookies and similar technologies pachinkoluck.com uses, why we use them, and how to control them — the honest version.
Last updated: 1 October 2026 · Pachinko Luck Lounge Melbourne Pty Ltd
Our website uses a small, deliberate set of cookies and browser storage: what the site needs to function, what helps us understand traffic, and your consent preference itself. Nothing exotic, nothing that follows you around the internet.
Key points at a glance
Small set only
Consent, session integrity, preferences and anonymised analytics — nothing else.
No ad tracking
No advertising cookies, tracking pixels or cross-site profiling. Ever.
You're in control
Decline or clear them any time — the site works fully either way.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let the site remember things — your consent choice, your session, anonymised visit statistics — between page loads and between visits.
We also use browser localStorage for the same purposes where it's technically better suited (our consent banner's 'cookies-accepted' flag lives there). Same rules apply to both.
What we actually use
The cookies and storage keys on this site fall into four groups:
- Strictly necessary — consent flag, session integrity, form protection.
- Preferences — display and interface choices you make.
- Analytics — anonymised visit statistics to understand which pages help guests.
- Third-party embeds — the Google Maps iframe on our contacts page sets its own cookies.
We don't run advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or any cross-site profiling. The site works fully with analytics disabled.
The consent banner
On your first visit the site shows a consent banner explaining cookie use. Accepting stores a 'cookies-accepted' flag in localStorage so the banner doesn't return; declining or ignoring it means only strictly-necessary storage is used.
You can change your mind any time by clearing site data in your browser — the banner will reappear on your next visit and you can choose again.
We use the smallest set of cookies that lets the site work properly. That's the whole policy.
Who this document applies to
- All pachinkoluck.com visitors — the banner appears on first visit.
- Form users — strictly-necessary storage protects submissions from spam.
- Map users — the Google Maps embed sets third-party cookies under Google's policy.
Third-party cookies
Two third-party services set cookies when you use this site: Google Fonts (font delivery) and Google Maps (the embedded map on our contacts page). Their use is governed by Google's own privacy policy.
Blocking third-party cookies in your browser disables the map embed without affecting anything else — the address and directions are also printed as text on the same page.
Managing cookies
Every modern browser gives you full control:
- View and delete cookies per-site in browser settings.
- Block third-party cookies while keeping first-party ones.
- Browse in private/incognito mode — no cookies persist.
- Set the browser to clear cookies on exit.
Blocking strictly-necessary storage may affect the consent banner and form spam protection; everything else degrades gracefully.

Still unsure about something?
Legal documents are dense by nature. If a section isn't clear, ask — we'd rather explain a clause than have a guest misunderstand it.
