Your Cookie Preferences
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They serve a range of purposes, from keeping a website functioning as expected to recording how visitors move through pages. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services embedded in the page.
This policy explains which cookies Anong Advocates uses on this website, why they are used, and what choices you have.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a limited set of purposes. We do not use cookies to build personal profiles for advertising or to share your data with marketing networks. Our use is confined to the categories described below.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. They cannot be disabled without affecting the usability of the site. They do not store any information that could identify you personally beyond what is needed for the immediate session.

|---|---|---|---|
| cookieConsent | Records whether you have accepted or declined optional cookies, so you are not shown the notice on every visit. | 12 months | First-party / localStorage |

3.2 Analytics Cookies (Optional)
If you accept optional cookies, we may use analytics services to understand how visitors use the site — for example, which pages are visited most and where visitors come from. This information is collected in aggregate and is not linked to your identity. These cookies are only placed if you consent.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |

3.3 Advertising and Conversion Cookies (Optional)
Where we run paid advertising campaigns, third-party measurement cookies may be used to record whether a visit to this site followed an interaction with an advertisement. This helps us assess the overall performance of campaigns without identifying individual visitors. These are only placed with your consent.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| _fbp | Facebook Pixel — used to deliver and measure the effectiveness of advertising on Facebook-owned platforms. | 90 days | Third-party |

4. How We Obtain Your Consent
When you first visit this website, a notice appears at the bottom of the page explaining that we use cookies. You may choose to accept all cookies or decline optional ones. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage and applied on future visits. Strictly necessary cookies are placed regardless of your choice, as they are required for the site to work.
You may change your preference at any time using the controls at the top of this page.
5. Cookies and the Google Maps Embed
Our contact page includes a Google Maps embed to show the location of our office. When this map loads, Google may place cookies on your device independently of our cookie controls. These cookies are subject to Google's own privacy and cookie policies. We have no control over them and cannot disable them without removing the map entirely.
If you prefer not to receive Google cookies through this embed, you may wish to view the map by visiting Google Maps directly, or to disable cookies in your browser for Google's domains.
6. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is placed. The steps for doing this vary between browsers. You can find guidance for common browsers below:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Please be aware that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites you use.
7. Third-Party Services
Some cookies on this site are placed by third parties whose services we use. Those parties have their own privacy policies which govern how they handle the data they collect. We are not responsible for the content of third-party privacy policies, though we exercise care in selecting the services we use.
The main third-party services that may set cookies on this site are Google (Analytics and Maps) and, where relevant, Meta (Facebook) and Microsoft (Bing Ads).
8. Data Transfers
Some of the third-party services referred to above operate servers outside Thailand. Where data is transferred internationally, the third parties concerned are responsible for ensuring appropriate safeguards are in place. Our own cookie-related data is stored in your browser and on servers located in Thailand.
9. Retention
The duration of each cookie is set out in the tables above. Our consent record (stored in your browser's local storage) expires after twelve months, at which point we will ask for your preference again.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy when our use of cookies changes or when legal requirements are amended. The date at the top of this page shows when the policy was last revised. We encourage you to check this page from time to time if you are interested in how we use cookies.
