Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies backlinkhut.com uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website; they help the site remember your preferences and tell us how the site is being used in aggregate.
Effective date: 2026-05-21.
1. Our principle
We use the minimum set of cookies required for the site to function and for us to understand visitor behaviour in aggregate. We do not place advertising cookies, behavioural-tracking cookies that follow you across other websites, or third-party data-broker pixels on this site.
2. Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the site to work and cannot be switched off through our consent banner. They are set in response to actions you take — logging in, submitting a form, choosing a language, or accepting cookies in the banner itself.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration | |---|---|---| | NEXT_LOCALE | Remember your selected language (English or Thai) | 12 months | | consent_banner_v1 | Remember whether you have responded to the cookie banner | 12 months | | _csrf | Protect form submissions from cross-site forgery | Session |
3. Performance and analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are most useful, where visitors come from, and how to improve the site. These cookies are placed only after you accept analytics in the consent banner. IP addresses are anonymized before storage. We do not enable cross-site tracking, demographics, or interest-based reporting.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration | |---|---|---| | _ga | Distinguish unique visitors | 24 months | | _ga_XXXXXXXX | Persist Google Analytics session state | 24 months | | _gid | Distinguish unique visitors within a 24-hour window | 24 hours |
4. Preference cookies
If you adjust accessibility or display preferences (font size, dark mode), we store those in a local cookie so the site looks the same on your next visit. These are first-party only and not shared with any third party.
5. What we do not use
- We do not place advertising cookies (Google Ads, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, X Pixel) on this site.
- We do not use behavioural retargeting cookies.
- We do not embed third-party "share" widgets that drop cookies on page load. Our social icons in the footer are simple links, not embedded widgets.
6. How to control cookies
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the "Manage cookies" link in the website footer. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings:
- Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Firefox — Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break basic site functionality (language selection, form submission). Blocking analytics cookies has no effect on the site's behaviour for you.
7. Do-Not-Track and Global Privacy Control
We honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as a withdrawal of consent for non-essential cookies and we do not load analytics for that visit.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or remove cookies. Material changes will be announced by updating the Effective date above and, where required by law, by re-prompting your consent.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you use advertising or retargeting cookies?
No. We do not use Facebook Pixel, Google Ads retargeting, or any third-party advertising trackers. The only third-party cookies are Google Analytics for traffic measurement.
Can I use the site without cookies?
Most features work. Blocking all cookies disables language selection (defaults to English), banner dismissal (you'll see the language banner repeatedly), and account login (cannot stay logged in). Core content browsing works fine.
How do I opt out of Google Analytics?
Install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on (free from Google), or enable 'Do Not Track' in your browser. Most modern browsers also block third-party cookies by default.
Are you PDPA compliant?
Yes — to the best of our understanding. We collect only data needed for service delivery, retain it for limited periods, and respect deletion requests. Final compliance verification is part of our pre-launch legal review.
