This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies Verge places on your device when you visit vergen.world, why we place them, and the choices you have. Reading it alongside our Privacy Policy gives you the full picture of how we handle your data.
Section 1
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device on a return visit and to remember certain information about your preferences or actions.
Similar technologies include local storage (data kept in your browser), pixel tags (invisible images that register a page view), and session storage (data cleared when you close the browser tab). This policy covers all of these under the term "cookies" for simplicity.
Section 2
Who Places Cookies
Cookies on this site are placed either by Verge directly ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services we have integrated. Where we use third-party services, those providers operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, which we link to where relevant.
We do not sell or share cookie-derived data with data brokers or advertising networks beyond what is described in this policy.
Section 3
Categories of Cookies We Use
We group the cookies on this site into four categories. The table below describes each category, its purpose, and whether it requires your consent under Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (PDPA) and applicable EU/EEA standards where visitors from those regions are concerned.
| Category | Purpose | Consent Required |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Needed for the site to function — for example, remembering your cookie-consent choice so the banner does not appear on every page. | No |
| Preferences | Remember optional settings such as language or display choices so you do not have to re-enter them on a return visit. | Yes |
| Analytics | Help us understand how visitors navigate the site so we can improve its content and structure. Data is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors. | Yes |
| Marketing | Allow us to understand how visitors arrive at the site via advertising, so we can assess what brings people to us. No profiling for re-targeting is conducted on this site. | Yes |
Section 4
Specific Cookies in Use
The table below lists the individual cookies currently set on this site. We review this list when we add or remove integrations.
| Name | Category | Provider | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cookieConsent | Essential | Verge (local storage) | Until cleared | Stores your cookie-consent choice as a JSON object. Not transmitted to any server. |
| _ga, _ga_* | Analytics | Google Analytics 4 | 2 years | Distinguishes visitors for aggregate traffic reporting. Set only after consent is given. |
| _uetsid, _uetvid | Marketing | Microsoft / Bing | 1 day / 16 days | Tracks visits from Bing advertising for campaign measurement. Set only after consent. |
| _fbp | Marketing | Meta (Facebook) | 3 months | Identifies browsers for Meta advertising measurement. Set only after consent. |
Some third-party providers may update their own cookie names or durations. We recommend also consulting Google's, Microsoft's, and Meta's cookie documentation for the most current details.
Section 5
Your Consent & How It Works
When you first visit this site, a banner appears at the bottom of the page. You may accept all optional cookies, or decline, keeping only the essential ones that make the site function. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage under the key cookieConsent.
Optional cookies — analytics, preferences, and marketing — are not activated until you give consent. If you decline, those categories remain inactive for as long as your choice is stored.
You may withdraw or change your consent at any time by clearing the cookieConsent entry from your browser's local storage, after which the banner will reappear on your next visit.
Section 6
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
In addition to the consent mechanism on this site, all major browsers allow you to view, block, and delete cookies through their settings. The steps differ by browser; the links below lead to the relevant help pages:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
Blocking all cookies may prevent certain parts of the site from working as expected. Essential cookies in particular are required for the consent mechanism to retain your preferences.
Section 7
Third-Party Services
Some of the services that may set cookies on this site are operated by third parties. Their use of data collected through cookies is governed by their own policies, not this one. Where relevant, we link to those policies below:
- Google Analytics 4 — data is processed by Google LLC under their Privacy Policy and Data Processing Terms.
- Microsoft / Bing Ads — data is processed by Microsoft Corporation under their Privacy Statement.
- Meta Pixel — data is processed by Meta Platforms, Inc. under their Data Policy.
- Google Maps (embedded) — the map on our contact page is served by Google. Google may set its own cookies when the map is interacted with.
Section 8
Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies collect or are associated with personal data — for example, an analytics cookie may be linked to an IP address. Where this is the case, we handle that data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and the requirements of Thailand's PDPA.
You have the right to request access to, or deletion of, any personal data associated with cookies we control. Contact us at [email protected] to make such a request.
Section 9
Updates to This Policy
We may update this policy when we add or remove cookies or when there are changes to applicable laws. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
We will not actively notify you of changes to this page. We recommend checking it from time to time, particularly if you are a regular visitor.
