What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help sites remember small pieces of information between page loads — things like whether you have already acknowledged a notice, or which language you prefer.
Cookies cannot run programs or carry viruses. They are simply short records stored by your browser on behalf of a site. Most expire after a set period; others are removed as soon as you close the tab.
Boon Bytes uses cookies thoughtfully, in keeping with our general approach to technology: add what genuinely helps, document it clearly, and leave the choice with you.
Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site working as expected. They remember your cookie preferences so we do not ask again on every page, and support basic security functions. Without them, the site cannot operate properly.
Examples: cookieConsent (your preferences), session identifiers
Analytics Cookies
These help us understand how visitors move through the site — which pages are helpful, where people tend to pause, and where they leave. This information is aggregated and never identifies you personally.
Provider: Google Analytics 4 · Duration: up to 2 years
Marketing Cookies
These support basic advertising measurement — letting us understand whether a visit came from an ad placement, so we can assess whether that placement was worthwhile. No detailed profiles are built about you.
Providers: Meta Pixel, Microsoft Clarity · Duration: up to 90 days
Preference Cookies
These remember small choices you make — such as which region you are visiting from or how you like content displayed. They make return visits a little smoother without requiring you to repeat yourself.
Examples: region, display settings · Duration: up to 1 year

Persistent Cookies

Under Thailand's PDPA, you have the right to know what personal data is processed and for what purpose. This policy, along with our Privacy Policy, aims to answer those questions clearly.
