1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on return visits and to remember certain preferences or choices. Cookies do not themselves contain personal information, though in some cases they can be used in combination with other data to identify you.
This policy explains which cookies our website uses, why each is used, and how you can manage or withdraw your consent at any time. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes in broader terms how we handle personal data.
2. How We Use Cookies
Our website uses a small number of cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential operation — a small number of cookies are necessary for the website to function. They do not require your consent and cannot be disabled without affecting the basic functioning of the site.
- Analytics — with your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site in aggregate. This helps us improve the content and structure of our pages. Analytics data is anonymised and not linked to your personal identity.
- Functional preferences — one cookie records whether you have acknowledged our cookie notice, so we do not show it to you on each subsequent visit.
We do not use cookies for advertising, remarketing, or the tracking of individual behaviour across third-party websites. We do not sell or share cookie data with any commercial partner.

4. Third-Party Cookies
Our website embeds a Google Maps frame on the contact section of our homepage to help visitors locate our premises at 84 Songwat Road. Google may place cookies through this embed if you interact with the map. We have no control over Google's own cookie practices. We encourage you to review Google's Privacy Policy for details of the data they collect.
Aside from Google Analytics and the Maps embed, our website does not include content from third-party advertising networks, social media platforms, or tracking services.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several ways to manage cookies:
Via our cookie notice
When you first visit our website, a notice will ask for your consent to analytics cookies. You may decline at that point. If you wish to change your choice later, clearing your browser's cookies for this domain and revisiting the site will cause the notice to appear again.
Via your browser
All modern browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies stored on your device. The method differs by browser; most can be found under Settings → Privacy or Tools → Options. Note that blocking all cookies may prevent some website functions from working as intended.
Via Google's opt-out tools
Google provides a browser add-on that prevents Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You may also adjust your ad personalisation settings through Google Ad Settings, though we do not serve advertising.
Withdrawing your consent to analytics cookies does not affect your ability to use our website or to enquire about our programmes.
6. Legal Basis for Cookies
Our use of cookies is governed by Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (PDPA) and consistent with principles of lawful, fair, and transparent processing.
- Essential cookies — placed on the basis of legitimate interest, as they are necessary for the website to operate.
- Functional preference cookies — placed on the basis of legitimate interest, to avoid showing you a repeated notice.
- Analytics cookies — placed only with your explicit consent, which you may withdraw at any time.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we add new features to our website or if regulatory guidance changes. When we do so, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. If changes are material, we will reset the cookie-consent notice so that returning visitors are informed.
