This policy explains what cookies are, how Ironbark uses them on our Phuket property rental website, and the choices you have regarding their use. We aim to be straightforward — no jargon, no surprises.

What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They serve a variety of purposes — from keeping you signed in to understanding how visitors navigate a site. The files are stored in your browser and sent back to the originating website on subsequent visits.
Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other files on your device. They simply hold a small piece of data that helps the website recognise your browser across visits or within a single session.
Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. They cannot be disabled. They handle things like session management and security — without them, basic features simply would not work.
Examples
- Session management cookies
- Security and fraud-prevention tokens
- Cookie consent preference storage
Duration: Session and persistent (up to 12 months)
Analytics Cookies
These help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages attract the most interest, where people leave, and how they arrive. The data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. We use these insights to improve our listings and content.
Examples
- Google Analytics (_ga, _gid)
- Page view counters
- Traffic source tracking
Duration: Up to 24 months
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies allow us and our advertising partners to show you relevant content after you leave our website. If you have been browsing southern Phuket rentals, you may see related content elsewhere online. These cookies track browsing activity across sites.
Examples
- Facebook Pixel
- Google Ads conversion tracking
- Bing Ads UET tag
Duration: Up to 12 months
Preference Cookies
These remember choices you make to personalise your experience — such as your preferred area of Phuket or how you have interacted with our enquiry forms. They save you from having to re-enter information on future visits.
Examples
- Language and region preferences
- Saved search filter settings
- Form completion hints
Duration: Up to 6 months
