Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 16 April 2025
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device — computer, tablet, or phone — when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work properly, to remember your preferences across visits, and to give website owners a general understanding of how their pages are being used.
Cookies do not identify you personally on their own. They typically store a small identifier or a setting value. The website reads the cookie on your next visit to recognise your browser and respond appropriately — for example, to remember that you have already accepted this policy, or to count that a page was viewed once rather than twice.
You are always able to choose which optional cookies you allow. The controls below let you adjust those preferences at any time.
2. Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies Always Active
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They manage your session and remember whether you have responded to the cookie notice. You cannot disable them without disabling core website functionality.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cookieConsent | Stores your cookie preference choices | 12 months |
| PHPSESSID | Maintains your session during a visit | Session |
Analytics Cookies Optional
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website — which pages are read most, how long visitors stay, and where they arrive from. The data is aggregated and does not identify individuals. We use this information to improve the clarity of our content.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics — distinguishes users | 24 months |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics — stores session state | 24 months |
| _gid | Google Analytics — distinguishes users (short-term) | 24 hours |
Marketing Cookies Optional
Marketing cookies allow advertising platforms to show you relevant content after you have visited our site. We use these only if you consent. If you decline, no cross-site tracking will occur from your visit here.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _fbp | Facebook — tracks visits for ad personalisation | 3 months |
| ads/ga-audiences | Google Ads — remarketing audiences | Session |
Preference Cookies Optional
These cookies remember settings you have chosen — such as your preferred region or any display options — so you do not need to re-select them on each visit.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| lang_pref | Remembers your language or region preference | 12 months |
| display_pref | Stores any optional display settings | 12 months |
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this website are set by third-party services that appear as content on our pages — for example, an embedded map or an analytics tool. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which govern how they handle any data they collect.
Third-party services we may load include:
- Google Analytics — website usage statistics. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
- Google Maps — embedded map on our contact section. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
- Google Fonts — typography delivered via Google's CDN. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
- Facebook / Meta Pixel — only if marketing cookies are accepted. Governed by Meta's Data Policy.
You can limit the reach of third-party cookies by declining the relevant optional categories in the preference controls below.
4. Cookie Duration
Cookies fall into two broad duration categories:
- Session cookies — these exist only while your browser is open. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They are used for things like keeping your session active during a single visit.
- Persistent cookies — these remain on your device for a set period after you close your browser, or until you delete them manually. Most of the optional cookies listed above are persistent, with durations ranging from 24 hours to 24 months depending on their purpose.
Your stored preferences (the cookieConsent cookie) are kept for 12 months, after which we will ask for your preferences again.
5. Your Cookie Preferences
Use the controls below to choose which optional cookie categories you allow. Your choice is saved immediately to your browser and applies to this site.

7. Your Rights and Choices
You have the right to:
- Withdraw consent at any time — use the preference controls in section 5 above, or clear your cookies in your browser. Withdrawing consent does not affect any data already collected while consent was given.
- Access information about cookies — this policy describes all categories of cookie we use. You may also contact us directly with questions.
- Lodge a complaint — if you have concerns about how we use data, you may contact the Personal Data Protection Committee (PDPC) in Thailand.
Effect of disabling optional cookies: If you decline analytics cookies, we will not be able to see aggregated usage patterns that help us improve our pages. If you decline marketing cookies, you may see advertising that is less relevant to your interests on other sites. These choices do not prevent you from using any part of our website.
