Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 20 May 2026 · Effective: 20 May 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Baan Rak uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers how we handle your personal data more broadly. When you first visit the site, we ask for your consent to any cookies that are not strictly necessary — you may accept or decline using the panel that appears at the bottom of the page.
1. What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit. It helps the site remember information about your visit — such as your language preference or whether you have already made a choice about cookies — so that you do not have to set those things again on your next visit.
Cookies do not contain your name or payment details. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies); others remain on your device for a set period of time (persistent cookies). We only set persistent cookies where necessary, and for no longer than stated below.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
Always Active Strictly Necessary
These cookies are needed for the website to work. They cannot be switched off. They do not collect personal data that could be used for marketing, and they are set in response to things you do — such as recording your cookie consent choice so we do not ask again.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
cookieConsent |
Stores your cookie consent decision (stored in localStorage, not a traditional cookie) | Until cleared | Baan Rak |
Optional Analytics & Performance
These cookies help us understand how visitors move around the website — which pages are most read, how long guests stay and where they arrive from — so we can improve the experience. The data is anonymised and not used to identify you personally.

Optional Marketing & Conversion Tracking
If you arrived at our website from an advertisement, these cookies allow us to understand whether the ad led to a booking enquiry. We use this information to make sure we are advertising in places that are genuinely useful to travellers — not to build a profile about you for any other purpose.

3. Your Choices
When you first arrive at this website, a small panel at the bottom of the page invites you to accept or decline optional cookies. Your choice is remembered in your browser's local storage under the key cookieConsent. You may clear this at any time using your browser settings, and the panel will appear again on your next visit.
You may also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View which cookies are set and delete individual cookies
- Block all cookies or cookies from specific websites
- Set preferences for specific types of cookies
Please note that blocking all cookies may affect how some parts of this website behave. If you block strictly necessary storage, the site will continue to display the consent panel on each visit.
For Google Analytics specifically, you may opt out using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
4. Third-Party Services
Some cookies on this site are set by third-party services whose privacy practices are governed by their own policies:
- Google LLC — Google Privacy Policy
- Meta Platforms, Inc. — Meta Privacy Policy
- Microsoft Corporation — Microsoft Privacy Statement
Our website also embeds a Google Maps iframe to display our location. Google may set its own cookies when this map is displayed. These are governed by Google's Privacy Policy linked above.
5. Changes to This Policy
If we introduce new cookies or change how we use existing ones, we will update this page and revise the "Last Updated" date at the top. Where changes are significant, we will reset the consent banner so that all visitors can review and choose again.
