Last Updated: 16 May 2025

This page explains how Sornthep uses cookies on its website, what each type of cookie does, and how you can manage your preferences. We aim to be straightforward about this — cookies help us understand how our site is used and improve the experience for future visitors.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit — for example, whether you have previously accepted our cookie notice.

Cookies do not contain personal information on their own, though some can be used alongside other data to identify you. Most browsers accept cookies by default, but you can adjust your settings to block or delete them at any time.
