Welcome to heytomorrowthailand.net, operated by Community TH (legal entity: VALENTIN & ASSOCIATES INSURANCE AGENCY INC). We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website and how they may affect your privacy and browsing experience.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, how we use them, and the choices you have regarding their use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further information about how we handle your personal data.

By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. Where your consent is required by applicable law, we will ask for your explicit agreement before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

2. What Are Cookies and How Do They Work?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to give website operators useful information about how their sites are being used.

When you visit heytomorrowthailand.net, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it in a designated folder on your device. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends this cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognise you and remember your preferences.

Cookies can be classified in several ways:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session as you navigate through the website.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. They allow the website to remember your preferences on future visits.
• First-Party Cookies: Set directly by the website you are visiting (heytomorrowthailand.net).
• Third-Party Cookies: Set by a domain other than the one you are visiting, typically by third-party service providers such as analytics platforms or content delivery networks.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are indispensable for the proper functioning of our website. They enable core features such as page navigation, security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, the website cannot function as intended, and they cannot be disabled.

Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are activated only in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

3.2 Functional Cookies (Preference Cookies)

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalised features. For example, these cookies may remember your language preference, your region, or your cookie consent decision so that you do not need to re-enter these preferences on subsequent visits.

The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data assists us in improving the structure, content, and usability of our website. These cookies may track things such as how long you spend on each page, which pages you visit most frequently, and any error messages you encounter.

We may use third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics for this purpose. The information generated is transmitted to and stored by the analytics provider on servers that may be located outside Thailand.

3.4 Third-Party Cookies

Our website may include content and resources provided by third parties, such as embedded fonts, maps, social media plugins, or content delivery networks (CDNs). These third parties may set their own cookies on your device. We do not have direct control over these cookies and recommend reviewing the cookie and privacy policies of the relevant third parties.

Common third-party services used on this website may include:

• Google Fonts: Used to load custom typefaces for consistent visual presentation. Google may collect information about your browser and IP address.
• Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): Used to deliver website assets (scripts, stylesheets) efficiently. CDN providers may set technical cookies to optimise delivery.
• Google Analytics: Used to analyse website usage and visitor behaviour in aggregate form.

5. Cookie Consent Mechanism

In compliance with Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (PDPA) and internationally recognised best practices, we seek your informed and freely given consent before placing any non-essential cookies on your device.

When you first visit heytomorrowthailand.net, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner at the bottom of the page. This banner will:

• Inform you that we use cookies and provide a link to this Cookie Policy.
• Ask for your explicit consent for non-essential cookies (functional, analytics, and third-party cookies).
• Allow you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences by category.

Your consent preference is stored via the cookie_consent cookie for a period of 12 months, after which you will be asked again. You may withdraw or change your consent at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link available in the footer of our website.

Please note that withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to your withdrawal, and essential cookies will continue to operate regardless of your preference as they are required for the website to function.

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies

You have the right to accept or decline cookies. However, please be aware that disabling certain cookies may impact your experience on our website. The effects of disabling different cookie categories are as follows:

• Functional Cookies: Disabling these means that certain personalised features, such as saved language or region preferences, will not be available. You may need to re-enter your preferences each time you visit.

• Data Minimisation: We collect only the data that is necessary for the stated purposes of each cookie category.
• International Transfers: Certain third-party cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) may result in the transfer of data to servers outside Thailand. Where this occurs, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with the PDPA and applicable data transfer regulations.
