Cookie Policy

This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies our website uses, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. It applies to the website operated by Cogsmith at cogsmitho.cyou.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your browser across visits and remember certain information — such as your preferences or whether you have already seen a notice.

Similar technologies include local storage, session storage and web beacons, which function in comparable ways. This policy covers all of these.

2. Categories of cookies we use

Necessary cookies

These are required for the website to function. They cannot be switched off through our cookie banner. They include:

• Cookies that remember your cookie consent choice, so the notice does not appear on every page.
• Session cookies that support normal page behaviour and form functionality.

Analytics cookies

These help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and where they come from. This information is aggregated and does not identify individuals. We use it to improve the site over time.

These cookies are only placed if you accept them via the cookie banner.

Preference cookies

These remember choices you make — such as language or display preferences — so you do not have to repeat them on each visit. Currently we make limited use of these, but may expand this in future.

3. Cookies in use

The table below lists the main cookies currently set on this site. The list may be updated as the site changes.

4. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services embedded on our site. These include:

• Google Analytics — analytics service provided by Google LLC. Information collected may be transferred to and stored on servers outside Thailand. Google's data practices are governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
• Google Maps — map embed used on our contact page to display our workshop location. When the map loads, Google may set its own cookies. You can review Google's cookie use via the link above.

We do not have direct control over third-party cookies. If you wish to restrict them, please manage them through your browser settings or use an appropriate browser extension.

5. Managing your preferences

When you first visit this site, a cookie banner will appear. You can use it to accept or decline non-necessary cookies. Your choice is stored in a cookie called cookie_consent for 12 months.

You can also manage cookies through your browser at any time:

• Chrome — Settings › Privacy and security › Cookies and other site data
• Safari — Preferences › Privacy
• Firefox — Settings › Privacy & Security › Cookies and Site Data
• Edge — Settings › Cookies and site permissions › Cookies and data stored

Note that disabling certain cookies may affect how parts of the website function, particularly those relying on embedded maps or third-party content.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we add new tools to the site or if regulations change. The current version will always be available on this page, with the revision date noted at the top.
