This policy explains how Dao Siam uses cookies and similar small data files on this website. We use only what we need, and we explain each type below so you can make an informed choice. You can adjust your preferences at any time using the panel on this page.
Your Cookie Preferences
You may update your choices at any time. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the site to function.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — for instance, whether you have acknowledged a notice — making subsequent visits a little more convenient.
Cookies cannot run programmes or carry viruses. They are a widely used and well-understood web technology. Similar technologies include local storage, which works in a comparable way but stores data differently within your browser.
2. How We Use Cookies
Dao Siam uses cookies modestly and only for purposes that help us maintain a functioning, improving website. We do not use cookies to track you across other websites, build advertising profiles, or share your data with third-party advertising networks.
The cookies we use fall into three categories, each described below.
3. Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the website to operate. Without them, parts of the site may not work as expected. They include cookies that record your cookie consent choice, maintain session integrity, and support security features.
These cookies cannot be disabled through our preference panel. You may block them through your browser settings, but doing so may affect the usability of this website.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| ds_cookie_consent | Records your cookie preference choice so the notice is not shown on every visit | 12 months |
| ds_session | Maintains session integrity during your visit | Session |
4. Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors find and navigate this website. They tell us, in aggregate, which pages are visited most, where visitors come from, and which content is most useful. This information guides decisions about the site without identifying individual visitors.
We use these cookies only with your agreement, and data collected through them is not used for advertising or shared with third parties in identifiable form.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| ds_analytics | Distinguishes unique visits for aggregate page traffic measurement | 6 months |
| ds_ref | Records the referral source of the visit (e.g. search, direct) in anonymised form | 30 days |
5. Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember small preferences that make the site more convenient on return visits. They do not track you beyond this website and are not shared with third parties.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| ds_pref_lang | Remembers language preference if multiple display options become available | 12 months |
| ds_notice_dismissed | Records that you have closed an informational notice so it is not shown repeatedly | 3 months |
6. Third-Party Cookies
Our website includes an embedded Google Maps view to help you locate the workshop. Google may place cookies through this embed to support its own services. These cookies are governed by Google's privacy policy, which we encourage you to review if this is a concern.
We do not use social media share buttons, embedded video players, or advertising networks that would introduce additional third-party cookies. We keep our third-party cookie footprint as small as practicable.
7. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
In addition to the preference panel on this page, most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings. Common paths include:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions → Cookies and Site Data
Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites. If you need guidance, your browser's help documentation is a reliable starting point.
8. Your Rights Under Thai Law
Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) gives you the right to know what data is collected about you, to withdraw consent for non-essential processing, and to request deletion of your data where applicable. Cookie preferences constitute consent for the purposes of analytics and functional cookies.
You may update your preferences at any time using the panel above. If you have concerns about how your data is handled, you may contact us directly or refer to the Office of the Personal Data Protection Committee (PDPC).
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or legal requirements. We will revise the date above when we do. If changes are material, we will display a notice on the website. We encourage you to revisit this page periodically.
