Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — for example, your language preference or whether you have already seen a notice — so that the experience feels a little more familiar the next time you return.

This policy explains which cookies and similar technologies are used on phimaihou.pro, what purpose each serves and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

2. How We Store Your Consent

When you visit our website for the first time, a small notice appears at the bottom of the screen explaining that we use cookies. Your choice — whether to accept optional cookies or to continue with essential cookies only — is saved in your browser's localStorage.

localStorage is a storage area built into your browser. Unlike cookies, it does not send data to our server with each page request; the preference is held locally on your device. The key we store is named phimai_cookie_consent and its value records whether you accepted or declined optional cookies.

This preference remains in place until you clear your browser storage or until you change your choice. You can withdraw or adjust consent at any time by using the preference controls described in Section 5 of this policy.

3. Cookies We Use

The table below describes each category of cookie used on this website, the purpose it serves and whether your consent is needed before it is placed.

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. The site cannot operate as intended without them. They do not require your consent and cannot be disabled through the cookie preference notice.

Name / Key	Purpose	Duration
phimai_cookie_consent	Stores your cookie preference so the notice is not shown on every page visit	Until browser storage is cleared
Session cookie (server)	Maintains the secure session when the contact form is submitted	Session (expires when browser is closed)

3.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website — which pages are visited most, how long a visit lasts, and where visitors arrive from. This information is used in aggregate form and does not identify you personally. These cookies are only placed with your consent.

Provider	Purpose	Duration
Analytics provider	Page view tracking, visit duration, referral source	Up to 14 months
Analytics provider	Distinguishes new and returning visitors for aggregate reporting	Up to 2 years

3.3 Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to understand which channels bring visitors to our website. We do not currently operate advertising campaigns, so marketing cookies are not actively used at this time. Should this change, this policy will be updated and your consent sought before any such cookies are placed.

Provider	Purpose	Status
Not currently in use	Campaign attribution and reach measurement	Not active

4. Third-Party Content

Our homepage includes an embedded Google Maps iframe to help you find us. When this map loads, Google may set its own cookies on your device. These are outside our control and are governed by Google's own privacy and cookie policies.

We do not embed social media buttons, advertising scripts or other third-party trackers. Any external links on this website open separate sites and their cookie behaviour is governed by their own policies.

5. Managing Your Preferences

5.1 On This Website

The cookie preference notice appears on your first visit to the homepage. If you would like to change your choice at a later time, you may clear your browser's localStorage for this site and the notice will appear again on your next visit.

5.2 Through Your Browser

Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies and to clear localStorage through their settings or privacy menus. The steps vary by browser; please refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions.

Blocking all cookies may affect the basic function of some websites, including this one.
Clearing localStorage will remove your consent preference and the notice will reappear.
Browser extensions such as privacy-focused content blockers may also restrict cookie placement.

5.3 Withdrawing Consent

You may withdraw consent for optional cookies at any time without affecting the lawfulness of any processing that took place before withdrawal. To do so, clear the browser storage for phimaihou.pro or contact us at [email protected] and we will guide you through the steps.

6. Updates to This Policy

We will update this Cookie Policy if the cookies we use or the purposes they serve change. The updated date at the top of this page will reflect any revisions. If changes require fresh consent, the preference notice will reappear on your next visit to the site.
