Cookie Notice

This Cookie Notice applies for cookies and other similar technologies which may be placed when you visit different pages on www.punchporn.com (the “Website”) which is operated by Punchporn (hereinafter “we” or “us”). In this Cookie Notice we explain what cookies are, how we use them and how you can manage them.

What are cookies? 

A cookie is a small piece of data that, when browsing a website, will ask your browser to collect and store on your computer or internet-compatible end user devices for example, smartphones and tablets (collectively “Computer”) in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference, online activity, or login credentials (collectively “cookies”).   

First and Third-Party Cookies. The cookies set by us are called first party cookies. We also use third-party cookies, which are cookies from a domain different than our Website. Both types of cookies are text files made up of bits of information that websites use to collect your user data. First-party cookies are mostly used to improve your user experience by remembering user preferences and settings, also used to store information, such as usernames, passwords, and language preferences. Third-party cookies track your browsing history and activities so that we can show you targeted or personalized ads and marketing related to our content, products, and services.  

Session and Persistent Cookies. Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies. A session cookie expires automatically when you quit your browser. A persistent cookie will be saved on your Computer until it expires, or until you delete your cookies. Each cookie has a different expiration date; some may expire after a few minutes while others after some years.

Local storage can be used to maintain preferences, a history of usage, or even the state or settings of a site or an app. Local storage may be used to improve your experience with our Website for example, by enabling features, remembering your preferences, and improving our Website’s functionality.    

The main difference between Cookies and Local storage is how they function, cookies are sent to the webserver with your requests while Local storage can only be read by your browser.
