Cookie Policy
Effective date: 21 June 2026 · Applies to thaiholidaybudget.com
This Cookie Policy explains how thaiholidaybudget.com uses cookies and similar technologies. We keep this to the bare minimum needed to make the estimator work. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics.
1. What are cookies and local storage?
Cookies are small text files a website can store in your browser. "Local storage" is a related browser technology that stores small amounts of data on your device. Both can be used to remember information between page loads. This Service relies on local storage rather than traditional cookies, and uses it only for strictly functional purposes.
2. What we use, and why
The items below are essential to the Service and are stored on your device only — they are never transmitted to a server we control.
| Name | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| somchai_pattaya_v1 | Saves your in-progress estimate so it is available when you return | Strictly necessary · local storage | Until you reset or clear site data |
| somchai_cookie_ok | Remembers that you dismissed the cookie notice | Strictly necessary · local storage | Until you clear site data |
These are classified as strictly necessary because, without them, the estimator could not save your progress or respect your notice preference.
3. What we do not use
- No advertising or marketing cookies.
- No cross-site tracking, fingerprinting, or behavioural profiling.
- No third-party analytics (for example, no Google Analytics).
4. Third-party content delivery
The Service loads open-source libraries and fonts from public content-delivery networks (Tailwind CSS and Chart.js via jsDelivr/Cloudflare, and Google Fonts). Those providers may set their own cookies or process your IP address as part of delivering those files, under their own policies, which we do not control. See our Privacy Policy for more on third parties.
5. Managing your preferences
Because the storage we use is strictly necessary, there is nothing to "opt in" to for marketing. You remain fully in control:
- Use the Cookie Settings page to review and clear what is stored.
- Use the Reset button inside the estimator to wipe your saved estimate instantly.
- Clear your browser's site data for this domain to remove everything.
- Use a private/incognito window if you prefer that nothing be saved at all.
6. Changes to this policy
If we change how local storage or cookies are used, we will update this page and the effective date above.
