Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 10 June 2025 · Effective Date: 10 June 2025
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help the website remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or whether you have already accepted certain notices. Cookies are widely used and do not give us access to your device beyond what is described in this policy.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies on the Khwamru Academy website for a small number of purposes. We have divided these into categories based on their function and whether they require your consent under Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and related guidelines.
3. Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function. They cannot be turned off because the site would not work properly without them. These cookies do not collect personal data for marketing purposes and do not require your consent.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| ka_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preferences so we do not show the consent notice on every page visit. | 12 months |
| ka_session | Maintains your login session while you are using the course platform. | Session |
| csrf_token | Helps protect forms on this site from cross-site request forgery attacks. | Session |
4. Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website so we can improve it over time. They collect information about pages visited, time spent, and general usage patterns. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
These cookies are only placed with your consent. If you decline, we will not place analytics cookies and will use only anonymised, aggregated data collected by our hosting provider.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique users for aggregated traffic reports. | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics — maintains session state across page views. | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics — distinguishes users across sessions within a 24-hour window. | 24 hours |
5. Preference Cookies
Preference cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made, such as your display settings or language preference. We currently use a limited number of preference cookies.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| ka_prefs | Stores minor display preferences (e.g. whether course nav is expanded or collapsed). | 6 months |
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some pages on our website include embedded content from third-party services, such as a Google Maps iframe on our contact page. These third parties may set their own cookies when you view that content. We do not control those cookies and recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of those providers directly.
- Google Maps: May set cookies related to map interaction and usage measurement. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
7. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit the Khwamru Academy website, a notice at the bottom of the screen gives you the option to accept or decline optional cookies. You can change your preference at any time by clearing this site's cookies in your browser settings and revisiting the page.
You can also manage or delete cookies directly through your browser settings. The steps differ slightly depending on which browser you use; your browser's help section will guide you through the process. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect how the website functions.
For broader opt-out options, you may also visit the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page or the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
8. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, this website uses browser local storage to store your cookie consent preference. Local storage works similarly to cookies but is stored only on your device and is not sent to our servers with each request. You can clear local storage through your browser's developer tools or site data settings.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we introduce new features or if legal requirements change. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
