3. What Data We Collect

ThaiVisitors.com is a static informational website. We do not operate user accounts, registration forms, newsletters, or comment systems. We do not directly collect personal data from you.

However, the following data may be collected automatically through third-party services integrated into our Website:

  • Approximate geographic location (country/city level)
  • Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)

This data is collected in aggregate form and is used to understand how visitors use our Website so that we can improve content and user experience. We do not use this data to identify individual users.

3.2 Affiliate Tracking Data

Our Website uses affiliate links provided by third-party partners. When you click on an affiliate link, the respective partner may place cookies on your device to track referrals and attribute commissions. Our affiliate partners include:

  • Travelpayouts - Flight and hotel booking affiliate links
  • 12Go Asia - Transport booking affiliate links
  • Booking.com - Hotel and accommodation affiliate widgets and links

These third-party services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.

3.3 Preference Data

We store your dark mode preference and cookie consent choice in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers or any third party.

4. Cookies

Our Website uses cookies and similar technologies. For a detailed explanation of the cookies we use, please refer to our Cookie Policy.

In summary, the cookies used on our site fall into these categories:

  • Essential: Dark mode and cookie consent preferences stored in localStorage (not cookies). No server-side essential cookies are used.
  • Analytics: Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _gid) that help us understand visitor behaviour.
  • Marketing/Affiliate: Cookies set by Travelpayouts, 12Go Asia, and Booking.com when you interact with affiliate links or booking widgets.

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of any page on our Website.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Where GDPR applies, we rely on the following legal bases for processing data:

  • Consent: Analytics and marketing cookies are only loaded after you provide consent via our cookie banner.
  • Legitimate Interest: We have a legitimate interest in understanding how our Website is used so we can maintain and improve it. This interest is balanced against your rights and does not involve processing sensitive personal data.

6. Data Retention

We retain analytics data for a maximum of 26 months from the date of collection, in line with Google Analytics default settings. After this period, user-level and event-level data is automatically deleted.

Affiliate tracking cookies are retained for varying periods depending on the affiliate partner, typically between 30 days and 12 months. Please refer to each partner's privacy policy for specific details.

LocalStorage data (dark mode preference, cookie consent) persists in your browser until you manually clear it.
