Cookie Policy
Last updated: 12 May 2025 · Effective date: 12 May 2025
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Witthaya Code ("we", "our", "us"), operating from 248 Nimmanhaemin Road, Suthep, Mueang, Chiang Mai 50200, Thailand, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at witthaya.live.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more broadly. If you have questions about cookies or your choices, contact us at [email protected].
2. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language or whether you have already been shown a consent notice — so that your next visit is more straightforward.
Cookies themselves do not contain personal information such as your name or payment details. However, when combined with other data, cookie identifiers may be used to identify you indirectly. We treat any such data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (PDPA).
Similar technologies — including web beacons, pixels, and local storage — can serve comparable purposes. Where we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we include these technologies unless stated otherwise.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies. You can see a detailed list in Section 4.
- Strictly necessary cookies: Essential for the website to function. They enable core features such as security, session management, and your cookie consent preferences. These cannot be disabled without affecting how the site works.
- Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are visited most, how long visitors stay, and where they come from. This helps us improve the site. Data is aggregated and not used to identify individual visitors.
- Marketing cookies: Used by advertising platforms to understand how visitors arrived at our site and whether they later enrolled. This helps us measure the effectiveness of our outreach and avoid showing the same advertisement repeatedly. These cookies are only set with your consent.

5. Legal Basis for Using Cookies
Under Thailand's PDPA and generally recognised privacy standards:
- Strictly necessary cookies are placed on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a functional and secure website. Consent is not required for these, as disabling them would prevent the site from working.
- Analytics and marketing cookies are placed only with your prior consent, given through our cookie notice when you first visit the site. You may withdraw consent at any time using the method described in Section 7.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services that appear on our pages, including Google Analytics, Microsoft (Bing), and Meta. We do not control how those parties use the data they collect via their cookies. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of those services:
7. Your Choices and How to Manage Cookies
You have several ways to control cookies:
- Cookie notice: When you first visit our website, you are presented with a notice allowing you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored and respected on future visits.
- Browser settings: All modern browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings menus. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will affect how the site functions. Links to guidance for common browsers are below:
- Opt-out tools: For analytics and advertising cookies, you may also use industry opt-out tools such as the NAI Opt-Out tool or Your Online Choices.
- Google Analytics opt-out: You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
8. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing not be tracked. There is currently no universally adopted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We note the signal where it is present, but cannot confirm that all third-party tools on our site respond to it. We encourage you to use the browser and opt-out tools described in Section 7 to manage your preferences directly.
9. Cookies and Children
Our website is not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly use cookies to track individuals under 16. If you believe a child has interacted with our website in a way that has led to personal data being collected, please contact us at [email protected] and we will take appropriate steps.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in law, or for other operational reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of our website after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
