What Are Cookies and Why We Use Them

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to remember information about your visit. At Firstlinkforge, we use them primarily to understand how our API integration services resonate with potential clients and to improve your browsing experience.

When someone visits our site looking for external service integration solutions, cookies help us remember their preferences and provide relevant information about our Thailand-based development services. We're not trying to be sneaky about it – we genuinely want to make your experience better.

How Long We Keep Your Data

Different cookies have different lifespans, and we try to be reasonable about retention periods:

Session cookies disappear when you close your browser – these handle immediate functionality like keeping you logged into our contact system. Persistent cookies stick around longer, typically 30 days to 2 years depending on their purpose.

Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymized after 26 months. We're not interested in tracking individual behavior long-term; we just want to understand general patterns that help us serve businesses better.

Third-Party Services and Data Sharing

We work with a few trusted partners who help us understand website performance and reach potential clients interested in API integration services.

Google Analytics helps us see which content is most valuable to businesses researching integration solutions. Social media platforms may track visits if you arrive from their sites, though we don't control their tracking methods.

We occasionally use advertising platforms to reach companies who might benefit from our integration expertise. These services may place their own tracking cookies, subject to their own privacy policies.

We don't sell personal data or share detailed individual information with third parties. When we do share data, it's typically aggregated statistics about website usage patterns.

Your Control Options

You have several ways to manage cookies and tracking on our site:

The "Decline All Non-Essential Cookies" button above removes tracking cookies and tells analytics services to stop collecting your data. Your choice gets saved so you won't see cookie banners on future visits.

Your browser settings also let you block or delete cookies entirely, though this might affect website functionality. Most browsers have privacy modes that limit tracking automatically.

For mobile devices, you can reset advertising identifiers or opt out of personalized ads through your device settings.

If you have questions about data usage or want to discuss specific privacy concerns related to our integration services, our team in Chon Buri is happy to explain our practices in detail.
