Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 15 May 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how Phimai Legal uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. We keep their use to a sensible minimum and never use them to profile you without your knowledge.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have seen a particular notice — so that you do not have to repeat actions on every page.
Similar technologies include web beacons (small transparent images), local storage entries, and session tokens. Where this policy refers to "cookies", it includes these related technologies unless stated otherwise.
2. Who Places Cookies on This Website?
Cookies on this website are placed by:
- Phimai Legal (first-party cookies) — set directly by us to operate the site.
- Third-party providers — set by services we use to understand site usage, such as Google Analytics. These providers have their own privacy policies and cookie notices.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
The table below describes each category, its purpose, and whether it requires your consent under Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (PDPA).
| Category | Purpose | Consent Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Enables core website functions — security, page navigation, and your cookie preference record. The site cannot function properly without these. | No — these are essential |
| Functional | Remembers choices you make (such as closing the cookie notice) so we do not repeat them. No personal data leaves your device. | No — low privacy risk |
| Analytics | Helps us understand which pages are visited and how visitors navigate the site, so we can improve content. Data is aggregated and anonymised where possible. | Yes — enabled only with consent |

5. Your Cookie Choices
When you first visit our website, a notice will appear giving you the option to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored locally on your device and takes effect immediately. You may change your preference at any time by:
- Clearing your browser's local storage or cookies, which will cause the notice to reappear on your next visit.
- Using your browser's built-in settings to block or delete cookies. Most browsers include a "Privacy" or "Cookies" section in their settings.
- Using browser extensions designed to manage cookie consent on a per-site basis.
Please be aware that declining analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use any part of this website. Declining strictly necessary or functional cookies may affect how the site operates, as these are required for basic functions.
6. Browser Controls
All major browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. Instructions for common browsers are available at:
- 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 → Cookies and site data
Blocking all cookies in your browser may affect websites other than ours, including services you rely on for everyday use.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Our website may include embedded content or links to third-party services (for example, a Google Maps embed to show our location). These services may place their own cookies when you interact with them. We have no control over these cookies and recommend reading the relevant third-party privacy notices if you have concerns:
- Google Maps / Google LLC — policies.google.com/privacy
- Google Analytics — policies.google.com/technologies/cookies
8. Data Transfers
Some of the cookies set by third-party providers, such as Google Analytics, may involve the transfer of data outside Thailand. Where this occurs, it is governed by the provider's data transfer mechanisms and their commitments under applicable data protection law. We choose providers that maintain appropriate safeguards.
9. Retention
Session cookies are removed automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire (see the duration column in Section 4) or until you delete them manually through your browser settings.
10. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or how we operate our website. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be noted more prominently. We encourage you to review this page occasionally.
