Cookie Policy

Last updated: 8 May 2025 · Wela Atelier · Bangkok, Thailand

This policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on the Wela Atelier website, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. We have tried to write this in plain language. If anything is unclear, please contact us.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help the site remember information between pages or visits — for example, whether you have previously accepted our cookie notice. Cookies do not contain personally identifying information on their own, though they can be linked to personal data in some circumstances.

There are also similar technologies, such as local storage (used in the browser's memory rather than as a file), which work in a comparable way. Where we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we include these related technologies unless we specify otherwise.

2. Cookies We Use

We use a small number of cookies, grouped below by purpose.

2.1 Essential cookies

These are necessary for the website to function. They cannot be switched off. They do not store any personally identifying information.

Name Purpose Duration Set by
cookieConsent Remembers whether you have acknowledged our cookie notice, so it does not appear on every page visit. Stored in browser local storage. Until cleared by user Wela Atelier

2.2 Analytics cookies (optional)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site in aggregate — for example, which pages are most visited and what devices are used. This helps us improve the website over time. Analytics cookies are only set if you consent. The data is anonymised and cannot identify you as an individual.

Name Purpose Duration Set by
_ga Distinguishes unique users for aggregate analytics. Contains a randomly generated identifier, not linked to personal data. 2 years Google Analytics
_ga_* Used to maintain session state for Google Analytics 4 tracking. 2 years Google Analytics
_gid Distinguishes users for daily usage reporting within Google Analytics. 24 hours Google Analytics

Google Analytics data is processed in accordance with Google's privacy terms. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

2.3 Map embed (functional)

Our homepage includes an embedded Google Maps iframe to show our location. When this map loads, Google may set its own cookies in accordance with Google's cookie policy. This embed is used purely to display our address and does not collect data on your behalf.

3. Your Preferences

You can review and update your cookie preferences below. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are needed for the site to work. Analytics cookies are off by default and will only be set if you enable them here.
