Cookie Policy
Last updated: 10 June 2025
This page explains what cookies are, which ones this website uses, and what choices you have. We keep things simple — only what is needed to run the site and understand how it performs.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember things between pages and visits — for example, whether you have already seen the cookie notice. They do not run programs and cannot access files on your computer.
Similar technologies such as local storage and session storage work in a comparable way and are covered by the same rules in this policy.
2. Cookies We Use
We use a small number of cookies, grouped below by type. You can see exactly what each one does and how long it stays on your device.
Essential Cookies
Always activeThese cookies are needed for the website to function. They cannot be turned off because the site relies on them to do basic things such as remembering your cookie preference.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cookieConsent | Stores your choice about non-essential cookies so the consent notice does not reappear on every visit. | 12 months |
Analytics Cookies
Requires consentThese help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are visited, how long people stay, and roughly where they come from. The information is aggregated and does not identify you personally. We use this to make the website easier to use.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique users to produce usage reports. Set by Google. | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics — maintains session state for the GA4 property associated with this site. | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics — distinguishes users across a 24-hour period for daily reporting. | 24 hours |
Marketing Cookies
Requires consentThese may be placed by advertising platforms we use, such as Facebook or Bing Ads, to understand whether people who arrive at the site from an advert went on to make an enquiry. They help us see which advertising efforts are worth continuing. If you decline consent, these cookies are not set.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _fbp | Facebook Pixel — tracks visits from Facebook ads to measure whether enquiries follow from them. Set by Meta. | 3 months |
| _uetsid | Microsoft Bing Ads — tracks sessions from Bing ad clicks to help measure ad performance. Set by Microsoft. | 1 day |
| _uetvid | Microsoft Bing Ads — distinguishes returning visitors for longer-term ad reporting. Set by Microsoft. | 16 days |
Preference Cookies
Requires consentThese would remember small display or language choices to make repeat visits a little more convenient. At this time, we do not set any preference cookies beyond what is listed above. This section is included for transparency should we add them in future.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies listed above are set by third-party services (Google, Meta, Microsoft) rather than directly by this website. These third parties have their own privacy policies which cover how they use data collected through their cookies. We do not control those third-party cookies once they are set.
If you have concerns about third-party cookies, the most direct way to manage them is through your browser settings or the opt-out tools those companies provide.
4. Managing Your Cookie Choices
When you first visit this site, a notice appears at the bottom of the screen. You can choose to accept or decline non-essential cookies at that point. Your choice is saved so the notice does not reappear on the same device.
You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or delete cookies that are already on your device. Check your browser's help section for instructions — the process varies slightly between browsers.
A note on blocking essential cookies
If you block or delete the essential cookie that stores your consent choice, the consent notice will reappear on your next visit. The rest of the site will still work normally.
5. Google Maps Embed
Our contact page includes a Google Maps embed to show our location on Beach Road, Pattaya. When you interact with the map, Google may set cookies or use other storage on your device. These are subject to Google's own Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, not this one. If you prefer not to interact with the embed, our address is shown in full below the map so you can use any mapping service you choose.
6. Legal Basis Under Thai PDPA
Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (PDPA) applies to data collected through this website. For cookies that are not strictly essential, we rely on your consent as the lawful basis for processing. You may withdraw consent at any time by changing your cookie settings or clearing cookies in your browser.
Essential cookies are placed on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a functional website and honouring your stated preferences.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes or as regulations require. Any changes will appear on this page with a revised date. If the changes are significant, we will show the consent notice again so you can review and confirm your preferences.
