Cookie Policy

01. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your browser or device when you visit. They help the site remember information about your visit — such as your language preference or whether you have dismissed a notice — so that the site can function properly and your experience is more consistent across visits.

Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses. They are not a security risk on their own, though some cookies may be used to track browsing patterns across different websites. This policy explains exactly how Gearsmith uses them.

03. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be set by third-party services rather than directly by Gearsmith. These include:

Google Analytics — used to aggregate traffic and behaviour statistics. Google's own privacy policy governs how this data is handled.
Google Maps — the embedded map on our homepage may set cookies related to the mapping service.
Advertising networks — if marketing cookies are accepted, referral and performance data may be shared with partner networks.

Gearsmith does not control the cookies set by third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy documentation of any third-party service you interact with.

04. Cookie Duration

Cookies fall into two broad categories based on how long they persist:

Session cookies exist only for the duration of your browser session and are removed automatically when you close the browser. They are typically used for navigation and temporary state.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period — ranging from a few months to two years depending on the category — unless you clear them manually through your browser settings.

05. Your Cookie Preferences

You can review and adjust your preferences for each optional cookie category below. Your selections are saved to your browser and will be read on your next visit to this site.

07. Your Rights and Control

You have the right to withdraw or adjust your cookie consent at any time using the preference controls on this page. Your updated preferences will be saved immediately and applied to subsequent visits.

Disabling optional cookies will not prevent you from accessing the content on this website, though some minor features may behave differently without them.

Under Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), you also have the right to request access to any personal data collected, and to withdraw consent for its processing. If you have questions about how your personal data is handled more broadly, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
