Cookie Policy

Last updated: 1 January 2025  |  Effective date: 1 January 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Design Living TH (legal entity: LICINA DESIGN & RENO LLC), operating the website thetomorrowthailand.com (the “Website”), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our Website. Please read this policy carefully alongside our Privacy Policy to understand our full data practices.

By continuing to use our Website after seeing our cookie consent banner, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. Where your consent is required by law, we will ask for it explicitly before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

1. Introduction and Scope

Design Living TH is committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on thetomorrowthailand.com. This Cookie Policy applies to all pages, features, and services available through our Website and covers every device you may use to access it — whether a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or mobile phone.

This policy has been drafted to align with the Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (2019) (PDPA) of Thailand, as well as internationally recognised best practices including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable to international visitors. Our goal is to give you clear, honest information about what data we collect through cookies, why we collect it, and how you can control it.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer or mobile device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work properly, work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website owner. Cookies are stored in your browser’s file directory and can be read by the website that placed them on subsequent visits.

In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use related technologies such as:

• Web beacons (pixel tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page or email has been opened.
• Local storage: A browser feature that stores data locally on your device and persists even after you close the browser window.
• Session storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared at the end of your browser session.
• JavaScript tags: Small pieces of code that run in your browser and may collect information about your interaction with our Website.

Cookies can be either session cookies (which are deleted automatically when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them manually).

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorise the cookies used on thetomorrowthailand.com into four main types, following the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) framework:

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take that amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, the Website or parts of it would not work properly. These cookies do not require your consent under the PDPA or applicable guidelines, as they are technically necessary.

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalised features. For example, they may remember your cookie consent preference so you are not asked again on every page visit. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

3.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Website by collecting and reporting information anonymously or pseudonymously. This helps us improve the Website’s structure, content, and performance. These cookies require your consent before being placed on your device.

3.4 Third-Party Cookies

Some pages on our Website embed content or use services provided by third parties (such as Google Fonts or content delivery networks). These third parties may set their own cookies on your device. We have limited control over third-party cookies; please refer to the respective third party’s cookie or privacy policy for more information.

4. Detailed Cookie Table

The following table provides specific details about the cookies used on thetomorrowthailand.com, including their names, purposes, durations, and types.

Note: This table may be updated periodically as we add or remove features on our Website. Please revisit this page to stay informed.

5. Cookie Consent Mechanism

In compliance with the Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (PDPA) of Thailand, we operate a cookie consent mechanism on our Website. When you first visit thetomorrowthailand.com, a cookie consent banner is displayed at the bottom of your screen. This banner:

• Informs you that we use cookies and similar technologies.
• Provides a brief summary of the cookie categories we use.
• Offers you the option to Accept All cookies, Reject Non-Essential cookies, or Manage Preferences to select which categories you consent to.
• Links to this Cookie Policy for full details.

Strictly necessary cookies are placed without requiring your consent because they are indispensable for the Website to function. All other cookie categories (functional, analytics, third-party) are placed only after you give your explicit consent or they are enabled by your preference settings.

Your preferences are stored in the cookie_consent cookie for up to 12 months. You may withdraw or change your consent at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the website footer. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred prior to withdrawal.

6. Third-Party Cookies and Services

Our Website integrates third-party services that may set their own cookies on your device. We use these services to improve performance, styling, and analytics. Below is an overview of the key third-party services and their cookie practices:

6.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics provided by Google LLC (or Google Ireland Limited for visitors in the EEA) to analyse traffic and usage patterns on our Website. Google Analytics uses cookies such as _ga, _gid, and _gat to collect anonymised or pseudonymised data about your visit, including pages viewed, time spent, and traffic source. We have configured Google Analytics with IP anonymisation to further protect your privacy. Google’s use of data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6.2 Google Fonts

Our Website loads typefaces from Google Fonts, a free web font service by Google LLC. When your browser requests a font file, Google’s servers may log your IP address and set a cookie. We have taken steps to locally host Google Fonts where technically feasible to minimise data transfer to Google. Where fonts are loaded from Google’s CDN, this is covered by Google’s Privacy Policy.

6.3 Cloudflare (CDN & Security)

We use Cloudflare as our Content Delivery Network (CDN) and security provider to ensure fast page loading times and to protect our Website from malicious traffic. Cloudflare may set cookies such as cf_clearance and __cfduid as part of its security and performance features. These are considered technically necessary for the secure delivery of our Website. For more information, see the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

We do not control the cookies placed by these third parties and recommend you review their respective privacy and cookie policies for further information.

7. Impact of Disabling or Refusing Cookies

You have the right to refuse or disable non-essential cookies at any time. However, doing so may affect your experience on our Website in the following ways:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies disabled: Core Website features such as form submissions, security protections, and session management may fail to work correctly, rendering parts of the Website inaccessible.
• Functional Cookies disabled: Your language preference and cookie consent choices will not be saved between visits. You may be shown the consent banner on every visit and certain personalised features may not function.
• Analytics Cookies disabled: We will not be able to measure how visitors use our Website or identify areas for improvement. This has no direct impact on your use of the Website’s core features.
• Third-Party Cookies disabled: Some embedded content or external services (such as Google Fonts) may not render or function as intended, which may affect the visual appearance of certain pages.

We respect your choices and will continue to make as much of our Website as possible available to you, regardless of your cookie preferences.

9. Thailand-Specific Legal Compliance

Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (PDPA), which came into full effect on 1 June 2022, governs the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data — including data collected through cookies — in Thailand. Under the PDPA:

• Lawful basis: We rely on your consent as the lawful basis for placing non-essential cookies. For strictly necessary cookies, we rely on our legitimate interest in providing a functioning and secure website.
• Consent requirements: Consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous. Our cookie banner is designed to meet these requirements by providing granular consent options.
• Right to withdraw consent: You may withdraw your consent for non-essential cookies at any time without detriment, through our cookie preference settings accessible in the website footer.
• Data subject rights: Under the PDPA, you have the right to access, correct, delete, object to, restrict the processing of, and port your personal data. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 11.
• Data retention: Personal data collected through analytics cookies is retained for no longer than 26 months in Google Analytics (as configured by us) and is subject to anonymisation where possible.
• Cross-border transfers: Some third-party cookie providers (such as Google) may process data outside of Thailand. We ensure that such transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards, including standard contractual clauses or the provider’s adherence to internationally recognised data protection frameworks.

We are committed to ongoing compliance with Thai data protection law and will update this Cookie Policy promptly should legal requirements change.
