Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that websites may store on your browser or device when you visit a website. Cookies allow a website to recognize your browser or device and remember certain information between visits.

We may also use technologies that work similarly to cookies, including local storage, session storage, pixels, SDKs, and other identifiers. In this Policy, we refer to these technologies collectively as “Cookies and Similar Technologies.”

Cookies do not normally contain information that directly identifies you by name. However, depending on how they are used and what information is associated with them, information collected through cookies may constitute personal data.

We may use Cookies and Similar Technologies for several purposes, including:

• Keeping GayBKK secure and protecting against fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access.
• Maintaining your login and authentication session.
• Remembering your preferences and settings.
• Providing essential website functionality.
• Understanding how visitors use our website.
• Measuring website performance and reliability.
• Improving the design, features, and user experience of GayBKK.
• Remembering your cookie preferences.
• Supporting communications and features that you have requested.
• Measuring the effectiveness of our services and, where applicable, our marketing activities.

We do not use cookies simply because they are available. We aim to use only the technologies reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy.

Depending on the features and services available on GayBKK.co, Cookies and Similar Technologies may fall into the following categories:

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for GayBKK to function properly. They may be used to:

• Maintain authentication and login sessions.
• Protect user accounts and the website from security threats.
• Maintain session state.
• Enable essential navigation and functionality.
• Remember security-related settings.
• Prevent fraudulent or abusive activity.
• Remember your cookie-consent preferences.
• Maintain basic technical functionality required to provide the service.

Because these cookies are necessary for the operation and security of the website, they generally cannot be disabled through our cookie preference controls. If you block these cookies through your browser, certain parts of GayBKK may not function correctly.

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies help GayBKK remember choices you make and provide a more personalized experience. Depending on the features enabled on the website, these cookies may remember language preferences, display preferences, user interface settings, previously selected preferences, and certain feature settings.

Functional cookies are not necessarily required for the basic operation of the website. Where consent is required by applicable law, we will request your consent before placing these cookies.

3.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics and performance technologies help us understand how visitors interact with GayBKK. They may help us understand which pages are visited, how visitors navigate through the website, which features are used, how long pages take to load, whether certain pages or features experience errors, general traffic patterns, and how the website performs across different devices and browsers.

The information may be aggregated or otherwise processed to help us improve the website. Where required by applicable law, analytics cookies will only be activated after you provide consent.

3.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies

GayBKK may use advertising or marketing technologies in the future to measure advertising performance, support relevant promotions, or understand interactions with marketing campaigns. If we introduce these technologies, they may allow us or our service providers to measure campaign performance, understand whether a user interacted with an advertisement, measure conversions, limit repetitive advertising, and deliver advertising that may be more relevant to users.

Marketing or advertising cookies will not be activated unless permitted under applicable law and, where consent is required, you have provided the necessary consent. GayBKK does not sell your personal information through cookies.

GayBKK provides account-based features, including user profiles, authentication, messaging, and other personalized services. When you sign in, we or our authentication service provider may use cookies or similar technologies to maintain your authenticated session and help protect your account.

These technologies may be necessary to:

• Recognize your authenticated session.
• Keep you signed in where applicable.
• Protect authentication requests.
• Prevent unauthorized access.
• Maintain secure communication between your browser and our services.

The specific technologies used for authentication may change as our technical infrastructure evolves. We do not list speculative or undocumented cookie names in this Policy. Our cookie inventory may be updated as the website and authentication infrastructure are updated.

Some features of GayBKK may rely on third-party service providers. Depending on the services enabled on the website, third parties may process information through cookies or similar technologies on our behalf or independently.

Examples may include:

• Authentication and identity providers.
• Website hosting and infrastructure providers.
• Analytics providers.
• Security and fraud-prevention providers.
• Content delivery and performance providers.
• Communication or notification services.
• Advertising or marketing providers, if applicable.

Third-party providers may have their own privacy and cookie policies. Where applicable, we will identify relevant third-party technologies through our cookie preference interface or updated cookie inventory.

When you first visit GayBKK, we may display a cookie consent banner or preference center. Depending on the cookies and technologies being used, you may be able to accept all optional cookies, reject optional cookies, customize your cookie preferences, or allow only certain categories of optional cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies may still be used where they are required to provide the website or services you have requested. Where consent is required, GayBKK will not rely solely on continued browsing, scrolling, or similar passive behavior as consent to optional cookies. Your consent should be freely given, specific, informed, and capable of being withdrawn.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time. If GayBKK provides a Cookie Settings or Privacy Settings link, you can use it to review or change your preferences. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings.

Most modern browsers allow you to:

• View stored cookies.
• Delete cookies.
• Block cookies.
• Block third-party cookies.
• Delete cookies when the browser is closed.
• Receive warnings before cookies are stored.

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of GayBKK. For example, disabling authentication-related cookies may prevent you from signing in or using account-based features.

You may also use your browser's privacy and security controls to manage cookies. The exact controls depend on the browser and device you use.

Common browsers include:

• Google Chrome
• Apple Safari
• Mozilla Firefox
• Microsoft Edge
• Opera

Deleting or blocking cookies does not necessarily delete other information associated with your GayBKK account. If you wish to exercise your personal data rights, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

Some Cookies and Similar Technologies may be associated with information that can identify or relate to an individual. Where cookie-related information constitutes personal data, GayBKK will process it in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (PDPA) of Thailand where applicable.

Where other privacy laws apply to your use of GayBKK, we may also apply additional requirements based on your location and circumstances. The legal basis for processing information collected through cookies depends on the purpose and applicable law.

For example, processing may be based on:

• Your consent.
• The necessity to provide a service you requested.
• Compliance with a legal obligation.
• Our legitimate interests, where permitted by applicable law.

For more information about how GayBKK collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data, please read our Privacy Policy.

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information processed through GayBKK. Security measures may include:

• Encrypted connections using HTTPS.
• Authentication controls.
• Access controls.
• Security monitoring.
• Session protection.
• Fraud and abuse prevention.
• Secure infrastructure and service providers.

However, no website, application, network, or method of transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Cookies may be either session cookies or persistent cookies.

Session Cookies

Session cookies are generally deleted when you close your browser or when the relevant session ends.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until they are deleted manually. The retention period depends on the purpose of the cookie and the service that sets it. We aim to retain cookies only for as long as reasonably necessary for their intended purpose. The actual expiration period of a cookie may change when the underlying technology or third-party service is updated.

The cookies and similar technologies used by GayBKK may change over time as we add, remove, replace, or update website features and third-party services. For this reason, GayBKK may maintain a separate Cookie Settings / Cookie Inventory interface showing the technologies currently active on the website.

The table above describes categories rather than a guaranteed list of every cookie currently deployed. The actual Cookie Settings interface and technical cookie inventory should be treated as the most current reference for active cookies.

Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” or similar privacy preference. Because browser implementations and legal requirements vary, GayBKK may not treat every browser signal as a universal opt-out unless the relevant technology and applicable law support such treatment. Where applicable law requires us to recognize a particular privacy signal, we will handle that signal in accordance with the applicable requirements.

GayBKK is designed for an international audience, including visitors and users who may access the service from outside Thailand. If you access GayBKK from another country or region, additional privacy or cookie requirements may apply depending on your location. Where required, we may provide additional consent controls or privacy choices for users in jurisdictions with specific data protection requirements.

GayBKK is intended for adults. You must meet the minimum age requirement applicable to your use of our services. GayBKK does not knowingly use cookies or other technologies for the purpose of collecting personal information from children who are not permitted to use our services. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to GayBKK in violation of our requirements, please contact us.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, new features or services, changes to cookies or third-party technologies, changes to applicable laws or regulations, changes to our privacy practices, or security/technical improvements.

When we make material changes, we may provide additional notice or request renewed consent where required by applicable law. The “Last Updated” date at the beginning of this Policy indicates when this version was most recently updated.

If you have questions about this Cookie Policy, our use of cookies, or your privacy choices, please contact us.

If you are contacting us regarding your personal data, please avoid sending sensitive information unless it is necessary for us to handle your request.
