    Privacy Policy

    Pailin’s Kitchen Inc. is the owner of hot-thai-kitchen.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy tells you what information we collect from you from this Site, and how we use and disclose it. This policy is effective as of September 13, 2025

    COOKIES

    We use cookies on this site. A cookie is a file that contains an identifier sent by a web server to a web browser and stored by the browser. This cookie is then sent back to the server every time the browser requests a page from the server. Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies. A persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user beforehand. A session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, as soon as the web browser is closed. Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

    We use cookies for the following purposes:

    (a) Authentication: We use cookies to identify you when you visit our website and as you navigate our website;

    (b) Email: We use cookies to help us to send relevant emails to users who have subscribed to our email list;

    (c) Security: We use cookies as an element of the security measures used to protect user accounts, including preventing fraudulent use of login credentials, and to protect our website and services generally;

    (d) Advertising: We use cookies to help us to display advertisements that will be relevant to you; and

    (e) Analysis: We use cookies to help us to analyze the use and performance of our website and services;

    We use Google Analytics to analyze the use of our website. Google Analytics gathers information about website use by means of cookies. The information gathered relating to our website is used to create reports about the use of our website. Google’s privacy policy is available at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

    Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies and to delete cookies. The methods for doing so vary from browser to browser, and from version to version. You can, however, obtain up-to-date information about blocking and deleting cookies by referring to the instructions provided by your browser of choice.

    It’s important to be aware that blocking cookies may have a negative impact on the functions of many websites, including our Site. Some features of the Site may cease to be available to you.
