Cookie Policy

Last Updated: February 2025

At chaton-posthub, we believe in being upfront about how we collect and use data. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use on chaton-posthub.com, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. We're not trying to hide anything here – just giving you the full picture so you can make informed decisions about your privacy.

What Are Cookies Anyway?

Think of cookies as tiny notes that websites leave on your device. They're small text files that help websites remember things about you – like your language preference or what you had in your shopping cart. Not all cookies are the same, though. Some are essential for the site to work at all, while others help us understand how people use our platform.

We use several types of tracking technologies on our site. Some stay on your device for just one session, others stick around longer. Here's the breakdown of what we're actually doing behind the scenes.

Types of Tracking We Use

Essential Cookies

These are the ones we can't really do without. They keep your session active, remember your login status, and make sure the site actually works when you click around. Without these, you'd have a pretty frustrating experience trying to navigate our financial education resources.

Functional Cookies

These remember your choices – things like which currency you prefer to see or whether you've dismissed certain notifications. They make your experience smoother but aren't strictly necessary. You could turn them off, though you'd have to reset your preferences every time you visit.

Analytics Cookies

We use these to figure out which parts of our site people actually find useful. They tell us things like which budget psychology articles get read most often or where people tend to drop off. This helps us improve the content and resources we offer to the Thailand market.

Marketing Cookies

These track your interests across our site so we can show you relevant content about financial wellness topics you might actually care about. If you've been reading about saving strategies, we might highlight related resources. You can opt out of these anytime through your browser settings.

How Long Do These Stick Around?

Not all cookies have the same lifespan. Session cookies disappear as soon as you close your browser – they're just there to help you navigate during your current visit. Persistent cookies hang around longer, sometimes for months or even a year, depending on their purpose.

Most of our analytical and functional cookies expire after 12 months. Essential session cookies are deleted immediately when you close your browser. You always have the option to clear your cookies manually through your browser settings whenever you want a fresh start.

Taking Control of Your Data

You're not stuck with our cookies if you don't want them. Every modern browser gives you control over which cookies you accept. You can block them entirely, delete existing ones, or set up your browser to ask permission before accepting new ones.

Managing Cookies in Different Browsers

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
  • Opera: Settings → Privacy & security → Clear browsing data

Just be aware that blocking essential cookies might break some functionality. You might not be able to log in, or certain features might not work properly. It's your call though – we respect whatever choice you make.

What Data Actually Gets Collected?

Let's be specific about what information our cookies gather. We're not collecting your personal secrets or financial details through cookies. Here's what we actually track:

  • Which pages you visit and how long you spend on them
  • What device and browser you're using
  • General location data (country and city level, not your exact address)
  • How you found our site (search engine, direct link, social media)
  • Your interaction patterns with our educational content
  • Preference settings you've chosen for your visits

We don't link this data to your personal identity unless you've created an account with us. Even then, we only connect it to understand how our registered users engage with our financial education resources.

Third-Party Tracking

Sometimes we use services from other companies that might place their own cookies on your device. This includes analytics providers and occasionally embedded content from other platforms. These third parties have their own privacy policies that govern how they use your data.

We try to keep third-party tracking to a minimum and only work with providers who meet reasonable privacy standards. But you should know that when you're on our site, you might be interacting with cookies from more than just chaton-posthub.

Changes to This Policy

Technology changes. Privacy laws evolve. Our practices might shift over time. When we update this cookie policy, we'll change the date at the top and let you know about any significant changes through a notification on the site.

We recommend checking back here occasionally if you're curious about what we're doing with cookies. We're committed to transparency, so you'll always find the current version of this policy available on our website.
