1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places in your browser when you visit. They are used to remember information about your visit — such as your cookie preferences — so the website behaves appropriately the next time you return.
Cookies do not give a website access to your computer or any information beyond what you share with it. Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings.
2. Cookies We Use
We use three categories of cookies on this website. One is strictly necessary for the site to work as intended; the other two require your consent.
3. Cookie Details
The table below lists the specific cookies and storage entries in use on this site.

4. Consent
When you visit this website for the first time, a consent notice will appear asking whether you accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage and respected for 12 months.
Strictly necessary cookies are placed regardless of your choice, as they are required for the site to function. All other cookies are only placed if you choose to accept them.
You can withdraw or change your consent at any time using the preference panel in the section below, or by clearing your browser's local storage for this site. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that occurred before withdrawal.
Our consent approach is consistent with Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and good practice under international frameworks including the EU General Data Protection Regulation.
5. Manage Your Preferences
You can review and change your cookie choices here at any time. Changes take effect immediately and will be applied on your next page load.
6. Browser Controls
All modern browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies and clear local storage through their settings. Common instructions:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites, though it will not prevent you from using this site. Clearing local storage will also remove your saved consent preference, and the consent notice will reappear on your next visit.
7. Third-Party Services
Analytics and marketing cookies are set and operated by third-party services (Google, Meta/Facebook, Microsoft). These companies have their own privacy policies and data practices, which are independent of Ratana Group.
- Google Analytics: policies.google.com/privacy
- Meta (Facebook) Pixel: facebook.com/privacy/policy
- Microsoft (Bing) UET: privacy.microsoft.com
If you have questions about how these services process your data, we recommend reviewing their policies directly or using the opt-out tools they provide.
8. Retention Periods
The retention period for each cookie or storage entry is listed in the cookie details table in Section 3. In general:
- Strictly necessary local storage entries persist until you clear browser storage or withdraw consent.
- Analytics cookies expire after 13 months, consistent with Google Analytics defaults.
- Marketing cookies vary by provider, ranging from 1 day to 90 days (see table).
You can remove any cookie or local storage entry at any time through your browser's settings.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes or as laws and best practices evolve. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent update. If we add a new category of cookie that requires consent, we will display a new consent notice accordingly.
