Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 14 May 2025 · Effective Date: 14 May 2025 · Dao Reuang, Rayong, Thailand
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Dao Reuang ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. We want to be transparent about what information is collected by these small files, why we use them and what choices are open to you.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains in more detail how we handle personal information generally.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device — phone, tablet or computer — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function reliably, to remember your preferences, and to provide the site's operators with information about how visitors use the site.
Cookies are not programs; they cannot carry viruses or install software on your device. They simply store small pieces of text that a website may read back on your next visit.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use four broad categories of cookie on this site:
| Category | Purpose | Your Choice |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Enable core website functions such as page navigation and the contact form. Without these the site cannot work as intended. | Cannot be disabled |
| Preference | Remember choices you have made — such as your cookie consent decision or display preferences — so you are not asked again on every visit. | Optional |
| Analytics | Help us understand how visitors reach and use the site so we can improve the experience. Data is aggregated and not used to identify individual visitors. | Optional |
| Marketing | Currently not in use. We do not place advertising or remarketing cookies on this site. | Not applicable |
4. Specific Cookies in Use
The table below lists the individual cookies currently set by our website:
| Cookie Name | Category | Duration | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
dr_consent |
Preference | 12 months | Records that you have seen and responded to our cookie notice, so it is not shown on every visit. |
dr_session |
Strictly Necessary | Session | Maintains your browsing session while you move between pages. Deleted when you close your browser. |
dr_ref |
Analytics | 30 days | Records the page or channel through which you arrived at the site so we can understand which routes bring guests to us. |
dr_visit |
Analytics | 7 days | Counts the number of pages viewed during a visit and records general device type. No personal data is stored. |
We review the cookies in use periodically. If we introduce new cookies we will update this policy and, where required, seek fresh consent.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Our website includes a Google Maps embed on our contact page. When you interact with the map, Google may set its own cookies subject to Google's privacy and cookie policies. We do not control these cookies and they are not covered by this policy. You may wish to review Google's own documentation if you have concerns.
We do not embed social media buttons, advertising networks or other third-party tracking services on this site.
6. How Long Cookies Are Kept
Cookies fall into two groups by lifetime:
- Session cookies — exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically when you close it.
- Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a set period (shown in Section 4) or until you delete them manually.
We keep cookies only as long as needed for the purpose for which they were placed. Preference and analytics cookies are not retained beyond the periods listed above.
7. Your Choices and How to Manage Cookies
You have several options for controlling cookies:
- Our cookie notice: When you first visit our site, a small notice appears at the bottom of the page. You may accept all optional cookies or decline them. Your choice is saved for 12 months. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site.
- Browser settings: Most browsers let you view, block or delete cookies through their settings menu. The steps differ by browser; look for a "Privacy" or "Cookies" section. Note that blocking all cookies may affect how some pages display or function.
- Device settings: Mobile devices have privacy settings that can limit cookie-like tracking by apps and browsers.
Choosing to decline optional cookies will not affect your ability to make a reservation or contact us.
8. Browser Guidance Links
For convenience, here are the cookie management pages for the most common browsers:
- 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
These menus allow you to see which cookies are stored, block certain sites from placing cookies and delete cookies at any time.
9. Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies may be considered personal data under the Thai Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (PDPA) if they can be linked to an identifiable person. Where this applies, our use of those cookies is covered by our Privacy Policy, which sets out the legal basis for processing, your rights and how to contact us with requests.
Analytics cookies on our site use anonymised or aggregated data only and are not linked to any named individual.
10. Do Not Track
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to websites. At present there is no industry-wide standard for how websites should respond to this signal. Our site does not currently alter its behaviour in response to a DNT signal, but we do provide the cookie choices described in Section 7 regardless of your browser's DNT setting.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we change the cookies in use, when guidance from regulators changes, or when we introduce new website features. The updated version will be published here with a revised date at the top. If the changes are significant, we will display a notice on the site. We encourage you to check this page from time to time.
