Cookies Policy

This Cookies Policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on the website at edentechnologies.ai, the purpose of each, how long each lasts, the legal basis on which each is set, and how you may refuse or withdraw your agreement.

It is issued by Eden Technologies Co., Ltd., tax identification number 0845567002524, registered office 35/4 Moo 1, Taling Ngam, Koh Samui, Suratthani 84140, Thailand. It forms part of, and should be read with, the Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions.

A cookie is a small text file which a website asks your browser to store and return on later requests, allowing the website to recognise the same browser. Similar technologies, including values held in local storage or session storage, and identifiers embedded in a request, perform the same function and are treated as cookies for the purposes of this Policy.

A cookie set in the domain of the website you are visiting is a first-party cookie. A cookie set in another organisation’s domain is a third-party cookie. The distinction matters here: the Google Analytics cookies below are FIRST-party cookies, written into this website’s own domain by Google’s script, which is why blocking third-party cookies alone does not stop them, and why we are able to delete them ourselves when you withdraw consent. The reCAPTCHA cookie is a genuine third-party cookie set in Google’s domain.

Cookie data may constitute Personal Data under the Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (2019) where it can identify you directly or indirectly, including by combination with other data. Where that is the case, the Privacy Policy applies to it in addition to this Policy.

We divide cookies into two categories and treat them differently, because the law treats them differently.

3.1 Strictly necessary cookies.

These are required for the website to function, to be secure, and to record the cookie choice you have made. They are set on the basis of our legitimate interests under section 24(5) of the PDPA, and in the case of security logging, on the basis of compliance with a legal obligation under section 24(6). They cannot be switched off through our banner because the website cannot operate correctly without them; you may still block them in your browser, with the consequences described in clause 7.

3.2 Analytics cookies.

These are not necessary for the website to work. They are set ONLY where you have given your prior consent under section 19 of the PDPA, given by an affirmative action on the cookie banner. Until you accept, no analytics cookie is set and no analytics script is loaded. Refusal carries no disadvantage: every part of the website works identically.

3.3 The standard we apply.

Consent is requested before the relevant cookie is set, not after. Consent is a positive act; continuing to browse, scrolling, or navigating is not treated as consent, and the panel offers no means of dismissal without a choice. Accepting and declining are offered with equal prominence, in controls of identical size and weight. Consent may be withdrawn at any time, as easily as it was given, and withdrawal is not made more difficult than acceptance.

Consent is given PER CATEGORY. The notice is presented in two layers. The first is a bar at the foot of the page offering “Decline All”, “Accept All” and “Preferences”, the first two being controls of identical size and weight so that refusing is no harder than accepting. The second is a centred dialog opened by “Preferences”, in which every category in use carries its own on and off switch, and a choice may be saved with some categories allowed and others not.

Closing the preferences dialog is not a decision. If no choice has been recorded, dismissing it returns you to the bar rather than allowing you past it. The dialog is reachable again at any time from the “Cookie settings” control in the footer of every page.

3.4 Three categories are declared. Not all three are in use.

We declare three categories, so that you can see the whole picture rather than only the parts that happen to apply to us today. As at the date of this Policy, verified against the website itself, only TWO of the three set anything: Strictly Necessary, and Analytics. Marketing is declared and is EMPTY.

Neither a “Functional” nor a “Performance” category is offered, and both omissions are deliberate. Functional would hold stored preferences, and the only one this website plans to add is a language choice: a cookie recording a language you selected yourself exists to honour that selection, so it is not something we would ask permission for, and it will appear under Strictly Necessary when it arrives.

As for “Performance”, in most published taxonomies that term means the same thing as Analytics, In most published taxonomies that term means the same thing as Analytics, so listing both would present one activity as two choices; and the tools that would genuinely fill it, error monitoring and real-user monitoring, do not set cookies. Naming a category we would never populate would pad this Policy rather than inform you.

An empty category is labelled as not in use and is NOT offered to you as a switch. Presenting a switch for advertising cookies we do not set would misdescribe our processing as surely as omitting a cookie we do set, and a control that changes nothing is not a choice. If a cookie later arrives in one of those categories, it will appear in the table for that category, the switch will become live, and we will request consent afresh in accordance with clause 11 rather than treating consent given for analytics as covering it.

Set on the basis of our legitimate interests, and not subject to consent because the website cannot operate correctly without them.

We use Google Analytics 4 (property G-XJ9TTM2QLW) to count visits, to see which pages are read and for how long, and to understand how visitors reach the website. We use it in aggregate. We do not use it to identify individuals, and we have not enabled Google Analytics advertising features, remarketing or audience sharing.

The durations stated are Google’s defaults at the date of this Policy. Google may change them without notice to us, so they are indicative rather than guaranteed.

This category would hold cookies used to show you advertising for Eden Technologies on other websites, to build remarketing audiences, or to measure whether an advertisement led to an enquiry.

As at the date of this Policy this website sets no marketing cookie, and Eden Technologies runs no advertising.

No advertising platform is connected to this website. We have not enabled the advertising features of Google Analytics, and we have not enabled remarketing or audience sharing from it. There is accordingly no switch for this category.

If we begin advertising, this category will list each cookie it sets, will name the advertising platform as a recipient, will state the basis for any transfer of data outside Thailand, and will become a live switch. Consent will be requested afresh at that point. Consent you may have given for analytics does not extend to advertising, and we will not treat it as though it did.

We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting or remarketing pixels, conversion-tracking pixels, social media tracking cookies, cross-site tracking, device fingerprinting, or any third-party marketing or data-broker platform.

We do not sell, rent, or otherwise make available for consideration any data derived from cookies. We do not combine analytics data with the contents of an enquiry in order to identify or profile an individual visitor.

You may withdraw or change your choice at any time by using the “Cookie settings” control in the footer of every page. It reopens the consent panel with your current choices shown, from which you may decline everything optional, accept everything optional, or open “Preferences” and change one category at a time.

When you withdraw consent we stop loading the analytics script immediately, we instruct Google Analytics that analytics storage is denied, and we delete the analytics cookies already set. We are able to delete them because they are first-party cookies in this website’s own domain. Any residual value that a browser retains expires on the schedule stated above in any event.

Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of your consent before you withdrew it.

Independently of our banner, you may control cookies in your browser. Every current browser allows you to block third-party cookies, to block or delete cookies from a named website, and to delete cookies already stored. The relevant settings are usually found under Privacy or Privacy and security.

• Blocking third-party cookies prevents the reCAPTCHA cookie, which is set in Google’s own domain. It does NOT prevent the Google Analytics cookies, which are first-party; to block those, refuse analytics on our banner, block cookies for this website, or use a content blocker.
• Deleting all cookies for this website will also delete our record of your cookie choice, so the banner will appear again on your next visit.
• For Google Analytics specifically, Google publishes a browser add-on which opts you out on every website, at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
• A content blocker will generally prevent the analytics script loading at all.

Blocking the analytics cookies has no effect on the website. Blocking the Google reCAPTCHA domain, however, prevents the anti-automation check from running, and the enquiry form cannot be submitted without it. If you wish to contact us without permitting that check, please use the email address or telephone number in the footer instead.

There is no common industry standard for how a website should respond to a browser “Do Not Track” signal, and we therefore do not represent that we respond to it. Our cookie banner is the mechanism by which your choice is captured and honoured, and it operates regardless of any such signal.

Cookies described in this Policy as set by Google result in data being transmitted to Google LLC and its affiliates, and may be processed outside Thailand, including in the United States.

Those transfers are made in accordance with sections 28 and 29 of the PDPA as described in clause 10 of the Privacy Policy. For analytics, the transfer additionally rests on your consent, given as described in clause 3 above.

If we add, remove or change a cookie or a tag, we will update the tables in this Policy and the version number and effective date at the end of it.

Where a change introduces a new cookie requiring consent, we will request consent afresh before that cookie is set, and will not rely on consent previously given for a different purpose.
