Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 10 June 2025 · Hearthline, Chiang Rai, Thailand
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help websites remember information about your visit — such as your preferences — so that the next time you return, the experience feels familiar and comfortable.
Similar technologies, such as local storage (used in your browser to save small pieces of data), work in a comparable way and are covered by this policy. Together, we refer to all of these as "cookies" throughout this document.
2. How Hearthline Uses Cookies
Our website is a simple, informational site. We use cookies thoughtfully and only where they genuinely improve your experience or help us understand how to make our content more useful.
Strictly Necessary
Always active — no consent required
These cookies are essential for basic site functions. They include your cookie consent preference itself, stored in your browser's local storage under the key cookieConsent. Without this, we cannot remember that you have already made your choice. No personal data is transmitted externally by these cookies.
| Name | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookieConsent | Local storage | 1 year | Stores your cookie consent choice and the timestamp of that choice |
Analytics & Performance
Only with your consent
These help us understand how visitors use our website — which pages are most helpful, where people find us, and how we can improve our content. The data is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors. If you decline analytics cookies, our site still works fully.
| Name | Provider | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | 2 years | Distinguishes unique visitors for aggregated statistics | |
| _ga_* | 2 years | Persists session state for Google Analytics 4 |
Functional
Only with your consent
Functional cookies allow the site to remember small preferences — such as scroll position or a previously expanded section — to make your visit more comfortable. At present, Hearthline does not deploy functional cookies beyond those in the strictly necessary category. This section will be updated if that changes.
No functional cookies are currently in use beyond strictly necessary ones.
3. Third-Party Embeds
Our home page includes an embedded Google Maps frame to help you find our location in Chiang Rai. When this map loads, Google may set its own cookies or collect data in line with Google's Privacy Policy. We do not control those cookies.
No social media embeds, advertising scripts, or third-party tracking pixels are currently used on this website.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, a small notice at the bottom of the page invites you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your browser's cookies and local storage, then revisiting our site.
Most browsers also allow you to control cookies directly through their settings. Below are links to guidance for the most common browsers:
Disabling non-essential cookies will not affect your ability to use our website or to book sessions.
5. Updates to This Policy
We will update this Cookie Policy if we change the types of cookies we use. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. We encourage you to revisit this page from time to time to stay informed.
