This Cookie Policy explains how Tickwise ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar storage technologies when you visit our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
Our website is operated from Thailand and is intended primarily for visitors interested in watch repair services in Bangkok. We aim to keep our use of cookies minimal, purposeful, and transparent.
⚙
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have dismissed a notice — so that the site can function as intended on your next visit.
Similar technologies include local storage and session storage, which are browser-side data stores used in much the same way as cookies but without an expiry transmitted to a server. This policy covers all such technologies collectively.
⚙
2. How We Use Cookies
We use a small number of cookies and local storage entries for the following purposes:
| Name / Key | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| tickwise_cookie_consent | Local Storage | Records whether you have acknowledged the cookie notice so it is not shown again. | Persistent (until browser data is cleared) |
| _ga / _ga_* | Cookie | Google Analytics — used to distinguish unique visitors and sessions for aggregate traffic analysis. | 2 years / session |
| _gid | Cookie | Google Analytics — used to distinguish users within a 24-hour window. | 24 hours |
| _gat | Cookie | Google Analytics — used to throttle request rate. | 1 minute |
We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, social media tracking pixels, or any cookie designed to build a profile of your interests for commercial purposes.

3. Essential and Non-Essential Cookies
Essential Cookies
The tickwise_cookie_consent local storage entry is essential to the operation of the cookie notice itself. It does not contain any personal identifying information.
Analytics Cookies
The Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_*, _gid, _gat) are non-essential. They help us understand how many people visit the site, which pages they view, and how they arrived. All data collected is aggregated and does not identify any individual visitor. If you prefer not to have these cookies placed, you may disable them using your browser settings or a browser extension such as the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on.
⚙
4. Third-Party Services
Our website embeds a Google Maps frame to display our studio location. When this frame loads, Google may set its own cookies or read device identifiers in accordance with its own privacy and cookie policies. We have no control over these technologies, and we recommend reviewing Google's privacy documentation if you have concerns.
We use Google Analytics, operated by Google LLC. Data collected through Analytics cookies may be transferred to and processed on servers in countries outside Thailand, including the United States. Google states that it applies appropriate safeguards under applicable data protection frameworks.
⚙
5. Managing and Disabling Cookies
Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings. Common options include:
- —Block all cookies: Prevents any cookie from being set. Some website functions may stop working as a result.
- —Block third-party cookies: Prevents cookies set by domains other than the one you are visiting, which would block Analytics and Maps cookies without affecting the consent notice.
- —Delete existing cookies: Removes cookies already stored on your device, including any Analytics cookies from a previous visit.
- —Clear local storage: Removes the consent entry, causing the cookie notice to reappear on your next visit.
Browser settings differ between products. Guidance is generally found under Settings → Privacy, or equivalent. You may also consult the documentation provided by your browser's developer.

6. Thailand Personal Data Protection Act
Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (PDPA) governs how personal data is collected, used, and disclosed. Where cookies or similar technologies result in the collection of data that can identify an individual, this falls within the scope of the PDPA.
Our Analytics cookies collect IP addresses that are anonymised before being processed by Google. We do not use cookies to collect names, contact details, or other directly identifying information. For further information on how any personal data we hold is handled, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

7. Updates to This Policy
We may revise this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we add new features to the website or if relevant laws or guidance change. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the website after the date of any revision constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
