Cookies are widely used by websites to make them work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.

5. Cookies and the PDPA
Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (PDPA) governs how personal data — including data collected via cookies — is handled. Where cookies collect or process personal data, we do so on the basis of your consent (for non-essential cookies) or our legitimate interest in operating a functioning website (for strictly necessary cookies). You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or contacting us.
6. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we may store a small amount of data in your browser's local storage. This is used solely to remember your cookie preference. It does not leave your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
