Privacy and Cookies
This page explains what Visit-Thailand.org collects when you read the site, why, and how you can change your mind at any time.
We keep personal data to a minimum. You can read every page without an account, without giving us your name and without accepting any cookies.
Who is responsible
Visit-Thailand.org is published by Nordic Webinvest Ltd, 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom. The editor is Terje Moy. You can reach us at info@visit-thailand.org with any question about privacy or your data.
Visitor statistics (Google Analytics)
We would like to count how many people read each guide, so that we know which pages are useful and which need work. For this we use Google Analytics 4, run by Google Ireland Limited.
Google Analytics is only loaded if you say yes. When you first visit, a small banner at the bottom of the page asks whether we may count your visit. Until you answer yes, the Google Analytics script is not loaded at all, so no statistics request is sent to Google and no analytics cookie is set. If you say no, the site works exactly the same.
If you say yes, Google Analytics sets cookies (named _ga and _ga_*) that last up to two years, and records pages viewed, approximate location (country and city, which Google derives from your IP address; Google states that Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses), device type, browser and how you arrived. We use it only for statistics about the site, never to identify you, and the reports we see do not show who you are.
Your answer is stored in your own browser (in localStorage under the name vt-analytics-v1) so that we do not ask again on every page. It never leaves your device.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
The site is paid for by advertising from Google AdSense. Google chooses and shows the ads, and may use cookies or similar technology to do so.
- In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Google shows its own consent message (a certified consent platform) before any personalized advertising. Until you answer, ads are limited and non-personalized. You can change your choice at any time with the Ad privacy settings link at the bottom of every page.
- Elsewhere, Google may show personalized ads based on your activity on other websites, according to Google's own policies and the law where you live. You can turn off personalized ads in Google's ad settings.
Read more about how Google uses data from sites that show its ads in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Cookie and statistics settings
You can change your answers at any time:
- Cookie settings (statistics) at the bottom of every page opens the statistics banner again. Choose "No thanks" to stop Google Analytics from that moment.
- Ad privacy settings opens Google's consent message where it applies.
- You can also delete cookies and site data in your browser settings, which resets both choices.
Server logs
Like every website, our hosting server keeps short technical logs of requests (IP address, time, page requested, browser) to keep the site running and secure. They are not used for statistics or advertising and are deleted automatically by the host.
If you write to us, we use your message and e-mail address only to answer you. We keep the correspondence for as long as needed to handle your enquiry. Normal e-mail is not encrypted end to end, so please do not send passport numbers, health information or other sensitive details.
Links to other websites
Our guides link to official sources and other websites. When you follow a link, the other site's own privacy rules apply. A few links to services such as Revolut and Wise are referral links; they are marked for search engines and the site may receive a small benefit if you sign up.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to processing and to withdraw consent at any time. Because we do not run user accounts and Google Analytics only runs with your consent, we normally hold no personal data that can identify you. Write to info@visit-thailand.org and we will answer within one month. If you are in the UK you can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk); in the EU, to your national data protection authority.
