Relationship to Our Privacy Policy

This cookie policy is a supplement to our Privacy Policy. This document covers specifically how thaitop.co uses cookies and what data is collected through them; our Privacy Policy provides the fuller picture of all data processing across the site.

What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small pieces of information stored and read on your device. They can serve purposes such as basic site functionality, security, remembering your preferences, or measuring traffic. On Thaitop, cookies are used for exactly three things: keeping the site running securely, understanding how our content performs (Google Analytics 4), and tracking affiliate bookings so we can earn a commission (Involve.Asia and Travelpayouts). We do not use cookies for advertising, ad personalization, or cross-site tracking beyond affiliate attribution.

Legal Basis for Setting/Reading Cookies

Under Art. 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive and § 25 TDDDG (the German implementation), cookies may only be set with your consent, except where they are strictly necessary to provide a service you’ve actively requested — such as the essential cookies needed for the site to function. All other cookies on Thaitop (Analytics, Marketing/Affiliate) are set only after you provide consent through our cookie banner.

Your Rights as a Website Visitor

Cookies on Thaitop are set based on either your consent or our legitimate interest, as explained in our consent banner when you first visited. You have the right to:

• View the history of your consent decisions
• Change your privacy/cookie settings at any time
• Object to the use of specific services
• Revoke your consent at any time

You can exercise these rights via the cookie settings link available in our website footer at any time.

How to Manage Cookies in Your Browser

• Remove cookies: clear your browsing data in your browser’s settings. This removes cookies from all sites you’ve visited, not just Thaitop.
• Control cookies: most browsers let you set site-specific cookie preferences in their privacy settings.
• Block cookies: browsers can be configured to block all cookies, though this may affect site functionality on Thaitop and elsewhere.
• Manage cookies on Thaitop specifically: use the cookie settings link in our website footer at any time.

What Types of Cookies Do We Use?

Essential

Required for the site to function — for example, remembering your cookie preferences and basic security. These cannot be disabled, since the site cannot work without them.

Statistics

Used to understand how visitors use Thaitop.co, so we can improve our content. This covers Google Analytics 4, and only runs with your consent.

Marketing

Used to track when you click through to one of our booking partners, so we can earn a commission. This covers our two affiliate networks, Involve.Asia and Travelpayouts, and only runs with your consent.

Note: Thaitop does not use a “Functional” cookie category, as we do not offer user accounts, saved preferences, or similar functionality that would require it.

Who Can Set Cookies on This Website?

Both Thaitop and the specific third-party services listed above may set cookies on this site. First-party cookies (such as our cookie-consent storage) are set directly by Thaitop and only readable by us. Third-party cookies (Google Analytics, Involve.Asia, Travelpayouts) are set by those respective providers and governed by their own privacy practices, which we encourage you to review.
