Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 10 June 2026 · Effective: 10 June 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones this website uses, and the choices available to you. We have tried to keep this explanation simple and clear — if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help the site remember your preferences or record how you navigate through pages. Some cookies are placed by the website itself; others may be placed by third-party services embedded in the page. Cookies cannot run programs or carry viruses.
2. How We Use Cookies
The Rom Pho website uses a small number of cookies to keep the site functioning reliably and to understand broadly how visitors use it. We do not use cookies to serve advertising, and we do not sell cookie data to any third party.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
| Category | Name / Example | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | rp_session | Maintains your session while browsing and remembers your cookie preference so the banner does not reappear | Session / 12 months |
| Functional | rp_prefs | Remembers display preferences you may set while using the site | 6 months |
| Analytics | _ga, _gid | Helps us understand general patterns of use (pages visited, approximate location by country, time on site). Data is aggregated and cannot identify you personally. | Up to 2 years |
We do not currently use marketing, tracking, or third-party advertising cookies.
4. Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to function. They cannot be switched off, as they underpin the delivery of the service. Under Thai law, these cookies do not require your prior consent, though we still want you to know they exist. They include the cookie that records your choice about optional cookies so you are not asked again unnecessarily.
5. Analytics Cookies
We use analytics to understand how visitors move through our site so we can make it easier to use. All data is collected in an aggregated form and does not single out individual visitors. If you would prefer not to be included in analytics, you can decline optional cookies via the banner shown on your first visit, or adjust your browser settings at any time.
6. Your Choices and Controls
You have several ways to manage cookies:
- Cookie banner — when you first visit our site a small notice appears at the bottom of the screen. You can accept or decline optional cookies there. Your choice is saved for 12 months.
- Browser settings — most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies from within their settings menu. Note that blocking all cookies may affect the way some websites behave.
- Google Analytics opt-out — you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, to prevent your data being used by that service.
7. Third-Party Services
Our website embeds a Google Maps iframe on the home page to show our office location. Google may set its own cookies when the map loads. These are governed by Google's own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reading those if you have questions about data Google might collect through its mapping service.
8. Legal Basis
Strictly necessary cookies are used on the basis of our legitimate interest in delivering a functional website. Optional analytics cookies are used only with your consent, obtained through the cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time without this affecting anything that occurred before withdrawal.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if we add new technologies or change how we use existing ones. The date at the top of this page reflects when the policy was last reviewed. For significant changes we will show an updated notice on the website.
