Cookie Policy – Smart Living TH
Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 1 January 2025 | Effective Date: 1 January 2025
This Cookie Policy applies to the website tomorrowthailandapp.net operated by Smart Living TH (legal name: SAAD CONSTRUCTION II CO). It explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website, what choices you have regarding their use, and how this policy complies with applicable laws in Thailand, including the Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (2019) (PDPA).
By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. Where your consent is required, we will ask for it explicitly before placing non-essential cookies on your device.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites function, operate more efficiently, and to provide reporting and analytical information.
Cookies are created by your web browser when you visit a site, and every time you return to that site the browser sends the cookie back to the server. This allows the website to recognise your device and remember information about your visit — for example, your preferred language, login status, or the contents of a shopping basket.
Cookies set by the website operator (in this case Smart Living TH) are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website operator are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through a website (for example, interactive content, analytics, and advertising).
Cookies may remain on your device for different periods of time. Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are automatically deleted when you close it. Persistent cookies survive after your browser is closed and can remain on your device until a set expiry date or until you delete them manually.
2. Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies on tomorrowthailandapp.net for several purposes:
- To ensure the website functions correctly and securely.
- To remember your preferences and settings so you do not have to reconfigure them each visit.
- To understand how visitors interact with our website so we can improve the user experience.
- To record and honour your cookie consent choices.
- To enable certain third-party services (such as web fonts and content delivery networks) to operate correctly.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies (also called strictly necessary cookies) are indispensable for the website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and security functions. Without these cookies, services you have asked for — such as filling in forms or accessing secure pages — cannot be provided.
Under the Thai PDPA and international best practices, essential cookies do not require your prior consent because they are strictly necessary to deliver the service you have requested. However, we still inform you about them in the interest of full transparency.
3.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your language preference or region) and provide enhanced, more personalised features. They may also be used to record your cookie consent preferences so that you are not asked repeatedly.
These cookies are set only when you have given your consent (where required), or where they are strictly necessary to provide the functionality you have requested.
3.3 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most often and whether visitors receive error messages from certain pages. The information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this data solely to improve how our website works.
Analytics cookies require your consent before being placed on your device. You can withdraw this consent at any time using the cookie management tools described in Section 6.
3.4 Third-Party Cookies
Certain pages on our website may load resources from third-party services such as Google Fonts or content delivery networks (CDNs). These services may place cookies or use similar technologies on your device. We do not control these third-party cookies and recommend you review the relevant third-party privacy and cookie policies for more information.

5. Third-Party Services and Cookies
Our website uses the following third-party services that may set their own cookies or access data stored on your device:
- Google Analytics — We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised statistical data about website traffic and usage patterns. Google may transfer this data to servers in other countries. For more information, please see Google's Privacy Policy.
- Google Fonts — We load web fonts from Google's servers to ensure consistent typography across devices. When your browser requests a font, Google's servers may log your IP address and browser details. See Google Fonts Privacy FAQ.
- Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) — We may load certain JavaScript libraries or stylesheets from third-party CDN providers to improve website performance. These services may place performance-related cookies.
We do not control the cookies placed by these third parties and cannot accept responsibility for their content or privacy practices. We encourage you to read their respective cookie and privacy policies.
6. Cookie Consent Mechanism
In accordance with the Thai Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (2019) (PDPA), we are required to obtain your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. When you first visit tomorrowthailandapp.net, you will see a cookie consent banner at the bottom or top of the page.
The banner will:
- Explain that we use cookies and the purposes for which they are used.
- Provide a link to this Cookie Policy for full details.
- Allow you to Accept All cookies, Reject Non-Essential cookies, or Manage Preferences to select specific cookie categories.
Your preferences are saved in the cookie_consent cookie for 12 months so that you are not presented with the banner on every visit. You may change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies or by contacting us using the details in Section 10.
Please note that withdrawing or refusing consent for non-essential cookies does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that relied on consent before its withdrawal, and will not prevent you from accessing the core features of our website — though some functionality may be reduced.

Under the PDPA, cookies that collect or process personal data (such as IP addresses, device identifiers, or browsing behaviour that can identify a natural person) require a lawful basis for processing. For non-essential cookies, this lawful basis is your consent. We ensure that:

If you believe that we are not handling cookies or personal data in compliance with the PDPA, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Personal Data Protection Committee (PDPC) of Thailand.
