1. What Exactly Are Cookies & Digital Trackers?

In technical terms, a Cookie is a tiny text file (usually just a few kilobytes) that a web server sends to your browser when you visit littlebeethai.com. Your browser stores this file securely in your local cache.

Alongside traditional cookies, contemporary web technologies also utilize Web Beacons, Pixel Tags, and HTML5 Local Storage. In this policy, we group all these helpful browser technologies together under one approachable term: "Cookies".

2. Why Does Little Bee Need Cookies?

Without cookies, a modern website would act like it has total amnesia every time you click to a new page or refresh your browser tab. We use cookies to:

• Maintain Fluid Visual Animations: Power our GSAP transitions, Swiper dish carousels, and branch map locators without stuttering or lag.
• Remember Your Preferences: Retain your language settings, preferred currency display, and branch search history so you never have to re-select them manually.
• Protect Form Submissions & Bookings: Ensure the details you enter into our reservation inquiry form aren't lost if you open another tab to double-check our menu dishes.
• Measure & Optimize Web Speed: Anonymously track which features our guests enjoy most and identify any page that needs extra speed tuning.

3. The Categories of Cookies We Use

To keep everything crystal clear and transparent, here is the complete breakdown of every cookie category operating on our site:

Cookie Category	Core Purpose	Lifespan	Mandatory?
Strictly Necessary	Ensures core website navigation, server load balancing, security certificates, and form anti-tampering.	Session / up to 1 year	Yes (Essential)
Performance & Analytics	Measures aggregate traffic, identifies slow-loading pages, and evaluates popular menu dish interactions.	30 days – 2 years	Optional
Functional Cookies	Remembers user interface customizations (font scaling, previously viewed branches, preferred language).	6 months – 1 year	Optional
Social & Interactive	Enables direct sharing and connectivity to our verified social media channels (Instagram, Facebook, Line).	Varies by platform	Optional

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are foundational. Without them, our secure reservation modals, anti-bot security filters, and core page routing cannot operate properly. They do not harvest any advertising or marketing intelligence.

B. Performance & Analytics Cookies

These analytics cookies give our development team anonymous statistical insights: which dessert dishes guests zoom into most, which branch location is most popular during weekend evenings, and average mobile load times across various network speeds. All data collected is 100% anonymized and aggregated.

C. Functionality & Preference Cookies

These make your visit effortless and tailored. For example, they allow the website to automatically highlight your nearest Little Bee branch in Bangkok or regional hub when you visit our Branches page.

4. Third-Party Integrations & Trusted Partners

A few features on our site integrate seamlessly with trusted global service providers:

• Google Fonts CDN: Delivers our elegant typography (Cinzel and Plus Jakarta Sans) consistently across Apple, Android, and Windows displays.
• Google Analytics (Optional): Provides aggregated, IP-anonymized site traffic performance insights.
• Verified Social Media Channels: Direct quick-links connecting to our official Instagram (@littlebeethai) and Line Official Account.
