Cookie Policy
Last updated: 8 May 2025 · Effective date: 8 May 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how Siam Horolog ("we", "us", "our"), located at 89 Silom Road, Suriyawong, Bang Rak, Bangkok 10500, Thailand, uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at siamhor.live. Please read this policy alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further context on how we handle personal data.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owners about how their pages are used. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties whose content appears on that page.
In addition to cookies, we use a technology called localStorage — a small storage area built into your web browser. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not sent to our servers automatically; it is held in your browser and used only to remember your choices within this website, such as whether you have acknowledged this cookie notice.
2. How We Use Cookies and localStorage
Our website uses a small number of cookies and localStorage entries, each with a specific and narrow purpose. We do not use cookies for advertising, and we do not share cookie data with advertising networks.
Cookie Categories We Use
| Category | Purpose | Examples on this site | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Required for the website to function. Cannot be switched off without breaking core features. | Session state, form tokens | Session / on close |
| Functional | Remember choices you have made, such as acknowledging the cookie notice. | localStorage key: sh_cookie_consent |
Persistent (browser localStorage) |
| Analytics | Help us understand how visitors reach and use the website, so we can improve the experience over time. | First-party tracking via PHP session log (no third-party analytics at this time) | Session |
We do not currently use any third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies.
3. The Cookie Consent Notice
When you first visit our website, a small notice appears at the bottom of the page inviting you to acknowledge our use of cookies. When you click to accept, a record of your choice is saved to your browser's localStorage under the key sh_cookie_consent. This prevents the notice from appearing on subsequent visits using the same browser.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent and are placed regardless of your response to the notice. For all other categories, we rely on your acknowledgement before setting cookies.
4. Managing and Withdrawing Consent
You have several options for managing cookies and similar technologies on your device:
Browser Settings
All modern browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings menus. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website from working as expected. Common browser cookie settings can be found at:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Clearing localStorage
To remove the localStorage entry that records your cookie consent, you can clear site data from your browser's developer tools or via the browser's settings under "Site data" or "Cookies and site data". After clearing, the consent notice will reappear on your next visit.
Withdrawing Consent
If you have previously acknowledged our cookie notice and wish to withdraw your consent, please clear your browser's site data for this website as described above. You may also contact us at [email protected] and we will assist you.
5. Cookies Set by Third Parties
Some pages on this website include embedded content from third-party services, such as a map provided by Google Maps. When such content is displayed, the third-party provider may set its own cookies on your device. These cookies are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the respective third parties, not by this policy.
Third-Party Services Referenced
| Service | Purpose | Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google Maps | Interactive map embed on the contact section of our homepage | Google Privacy Policy |
We have no control over, and take no responsibility for, the cookies placed by third-party services embedded in our pages.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. At this time, there is no universally agreed standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our website does not currently alter its behaviour based on a DNT signal, though we review this position as standards develop.
7. Your Rights Under Thai PDPA
Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (PDPA) grants individuals rights in relation to personal data, which may include information derived from cookies. You have the right to:
- Be informed about the data we collect and how it is used
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion or restriction of processing in certain circumstances
- Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing
- Lodge a complaint with the Personal Data Protection Committee (PDPC) of Thailand
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 9 below.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we introduce new services or technologies. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of this website following an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
