This Cookie Policy explains how Ratana Counsel uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, what choices you have, and how to manage your preferences. We aim to be clear and straightforward about how these technologies work.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device — computer, tablet, or phone — when you visit. They are widely used to help websites function correctly, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website operator about how visitors use the site.
Cookies are not programmes that run on your device, and they cannot be used to access files stored elsewhere on your system. They are simply a way for a website to recognise a returning visitor and respond accordingly.
