What cookies does Expert Property Asia use?

Expert Property Asia uses strictly necessary cookies for site security and performance, plus analytics and marketing cookies only with your consent via the wconsent plugin. At launch, optional tracking includes Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot, and Meta Pixel. You can accept, reject, or change preferences at any time through the wconsent banner or this page.

The data controller for cookies and personal data collected through this website is EXPERT PROPERTY ASIA, 106 Moo 5, Bo Put, Ko Samui, Surat Thani 84320, Thailand.

Expert Property Asia is a Koh Samui real estate agency. We are not licensed attorneys or data protection officers. For how we use personal data beyond cookies, see our Privacy Policy. For our advisory standards, see about Expert Property Asia.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember preferences, and — where you consent — measure how visitors use the site or deliver relevant marketing.

We also use similar technologies such as local storage and pixels loaded through Google Tag Manager. In this policy, “cookies” includes those technologies unless we state otherwise.

We use the wconsent WordPress plugin to display a cookie consent banner and to record your choices. When you first visit expertpropertyasia.com, wconsent presents:

  • Accept — enables cookies in the categories you select in the preference panel.
  • Reject — refuses non-essential cookies; only strictly necessary cookies remain active.
  • Manage preferences — lets you enable or disable Analytics, Functional, and Marketing cookies individually.

Accept and Reject are presented with equal prominence. We do not use dark patterns to steer you toward accepting all cookies.

To change your choices after your first visit, use the wconsent control below or the cookie preferences link in the site footer.

Non-essential scripts — including Google Analytics 4, HubSpot, and Meta Pixel loaded via Google Tag Manager — are blocked until wconsent records consent for the relevant category.

Our wconsent configuration uses four categories aligned with this policy:

  • Strictly necessary — required for security, load balancing, caching, and core site operation. These cannot be switched off through wconsent.
  • Analytics — help us understand aggregate traffic and page performance (Google Analytics 4 via Google Tag Manager).
  • Functional — remember preferences such as favourites or form state (WordPress, Fluent Forms, PropertyHive where applicable).
  • Marketing — support CRM attribution and advertising measurement (HubSpot, Meta Pixel via Google Tag Manager).

The table below lists cookies and similar technologies used at launch. Exact names and durations must be verified on staging after wconsent and Google Tag Manager are configured — update this table before production publish if values differ.

Staging verification: After go-live configuration, open DevTools → Application → Cookies and confirm every active cookie appears in this table. ShortPixel image delivery typically does not set tracking cookies; add any new cookie here before publishing marketing campaigns.

When you consent to relevant categories, data may be processed by:

Google Tag Manager loads tags only according to your wconsent category choices. We configure tags so analytics and marketing scripts do not fire without consent.

Under the Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (2019), you may have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to processing of personal data, and to withdraw consent where processing is consent-based.

Official guidance is published by the Personal Data Protection Committee: pdpc.or.th.

To exercise your rights or withdraw cookie consent, email info@expertpropertyasia.com or use wconsent preferences on this page. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) may apply to our processing when you use this website.

Lawful bases include consent (analytics and marketing cookies), legitimate interests (strictly necessary cookies for security and performance), and contract (where cookies support an enquiry or service you request).

You may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection, and the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority. Full text: EUR-Lex — GDPR.
