A cookie is a small data file that a website stores in your browser. homeschoolthai.com uses cookies and browser storage (Local Storage / Session Storage) only as much as necessary. We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking cookies, or third-party analytics tools.
1. Essential cookies (always on)
These are needed for the site's basic functions and security. They cannot be turned off and do not require consent under the law.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
hst_member | Keeps community members logged in and protects against forged requests (CSRF) | Until you close the browser or log out |
hst_admin | Keeps site administrators logged in (admin area only) | Until you close the browser or log out |
hst_consent | Remembers which cookies you accepted, so we don't ask every time | 180 days |
2. Functional cookies (optional)
These make the site more convenient to use. They are used only if you click “Accept all” or turn them on in settings. This data stays in your browser only.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
hst_client, hst_like_* (Local Storage) | Remembers which articles you have liked, so likes aren't counted twice | Until you clear your browser data |
hst_chat (Session Storage) | Remembers your chat history with the AI assistant while the site is open | Until you close the tab |
If you choose “Essential only”, the site still works normally; it just won't remember your likes and chat history.
3. Visitor counting
We count visitor statistics without cookies and without storing IP addresses. The system creates a random code that changes every day, used only to count the number of people per day, and it cannot be traced back to identify anyone.
4. Change your settings at any time
or delete cookies in your browser settings. Read more about how we use personal data in our Privacy Policy.
