Last updated: 1 August 2026
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Ostrovni Hospitality Ltd ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at ostrovni.com. We are located at 42 Kensington High Street, London W8 4PT, United Kingdom. This policy provides information about what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
2. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) by your web browser when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
Cookies can be "session cookies" or "persistent cookies". Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your web browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or are manually deleted. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Ostrovni) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies".
3. Why We Use Cookies
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to remember your preferences, track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website, understand usage patterns, and support our marketing activities.
4. Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas, managing session information, and recording your cookie consent and age verification status. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the website to you, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our site functions.

You can access this panel at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of our website or in the cookie banner.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies
If you choose to disable cookies, some parts of the Ostrovni website may not function properly or as efficiently. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for basic site functionality, including the age verification process mandated by UK law for our entertainment lounge. Analytics and marketing cookies are entirely optional, and disabling them will not impact your core ability to browse our venues, events, or dining options.
9. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the website, deliver advertisements on and through the website, and provide embedded services. These may include services from Google Analytics, social media widgets, and payment processors. We do not control the setting of these third-party cookies, so we suggest you check the third-party websites for more information about their cookies and how to manage them.
10. Do Not Track Signals
Some internet browsers may be configured to send "Do Not Track" signals to the online services that you visit. We currently do not respond to Do Not Track or similar signals. To manage your cookie preferences, please use the cookie settings provided on our website or adjust your browser settings accordingly.
11. Cookies and Children
The Ostrovni website and our premises are strictly intended for users aged 18 and over, in accordance with United Kingdom law. We require age verification upon entering our site. We do not knowingly use cookies to collect data from children under the age of 18. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child, we will take immediate steps to delete such data.
