Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 28 March 2025 · Effective: 28 March 2025
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Thornvale ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at thfunmetric. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices available to you.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we handle personal data. If you have questions, please contact us at info@thfunmetric.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how visitors interact with their site.
Similar technologies include web beacons (also called tracking pixels), local storage objects, and scripts. Where this policy refers to "cookies," it encompasses these related technologies as well.
Cookies can be:
- Session cookies — temporary files deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies — files that remain on your device for a set period, or until you delete them.
- First-party cookies — placed directly by the website you are visiting.
- Third-party cookies — placed by a domain other than the site you are visiting, typically via embedded services.
3. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation and access to secure areas. Without them, services you have requested — such as completing a contact form — cannot be provided. These cookies do not require your consent and cannot be switched off in our systems.
3.2 Preference / Functional Cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make — such as your cookie consent preferences — so that we do not need to ask again on subsequent visits. They may also be used to remember other settings you apply.
3.3 Analytics Cookies
We use analytics tools to understand how visitors use our website — including which pages are visited most frequently and how visitors navigate between pages. This information is used in aggregate form and helps us to improve the quality and relevance of our content. Analytics cookies are only placed with your consent.
3.4 Marketing / Tracking Pixels
Our website may include tracking pixels from advertising platforms such as Google, Meta (Facebook), or Microsoft (Bing). These technologies allow us to measure the effectiveness of any advertising we run and may enable those platforms to show relevant content to users elsewhere online. Marketing cookies are only placed with your consent.
4. Cookies We Use

6. Your Cookie Choices
When you visit our website for the first time, a cookie consent banner will appear. You may choose to accept all cookies, accept only necessary cookies, or customise your preferences. Your selection is saved and respected on future visits.
You may withdraw or change your consent at any time by clearing the thornvale_cookie_consent item from your browser's local storage, or by clearing your browser cookies. Upon your next visit, the consent banner will appear again.
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View cookies currently stored on your device
- Block cookies from specific websites or all websites
- Delete all cookies when you close your browser
For instructions specific to your browser, refer to the browser's help documentation. Please be aware that restricting cookies may affect the functionality of this website and other sites you visit.
For more information on managing cookies across various browsers and devices, you may also consult the guidance provided at allaboutcookies.org.
7. Google Analytics Opt-Out
If you prefer that your website activity not be reported to Google Analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This add-on prevents JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and gtag.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics.
8. Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We do not currently alter our data collection practices in response to DNT signals, but we honour the cookie preferences you set through our consent mechanism.
9. Legal Basis — Thailand PDPA
Under Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (PDPA):
- Strictly necessary cookies are processed on the basis of legitimate interests to ensure the basic functionality of the website.
- Functional, analytics, and marketing cookies are processed on the basis of your consent, which you provide via the cookie consent banner.
You have the right to withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, applicable law, or our business practices. We will indicate the effective date at the top of this page. If material changes are made, we will take reasonable steps to inform you — for example, by displaying a notice on our website.
Continued use of our website following any update constitutes your acknowledgement of the revised policy.
