Privacy policy
This page explains how Bangkok Pattaya Bus Guide handles privacy, cookies, analytics, affiliate links, future advertising, maps, embedded content, and contact requests.
Who runs this guide
Bangkok Pattaya Bus Guide is an independent travel guide. It is not an official bus operator website. The guide is maintained to help travelers understand bus routes, stations, prices, schedule sources, and practical travel notes.
Cookies and similar technologies
The site may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies for basic site functionality, analytics, affiliate tracking, embedded maps, and future advertising. Some third-party services may set their own cookies when you interact with their content or links.
Analytics
This site uses cookie-free traffic analytics from Vercel to understand basic page usage without storing analytics cookies. Google Analytics is loaded only after you agree in the analytics consent banner; it may set _ga cookies and you can withdraw that choice later from the cookie settings link in the footer.
Affiliate links
Some links to booking platforms or support services are affiliate links, including partners such as 12Go (transport) and Agoda (hotels). When you click an affiliate link, that partner may set cookies for marketing purposes and to track the click for commission attribution, so the site may earn a commission if you later book. This does not affect the timetable information, prices shown from operator sources, or editorial recommendations.
Advertising
Advertising is not currently enabled. The site is being prepared for possible future advertising, including disabled ad placements after schedule information, after station information, and after FAQ sections. Ads will not be placed above the main H1, above the main route CTA, or between individual departure times.
Google products
The site may use Google products in the future, such as Google AdSense or other advertising tools. If Google advertising is enabled for users in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, the site will need a Google-certified consent management platform that integrates with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework before serving personalized ads.
Third-party providers
The site may link to or use services from third-party providers such as 12Go, Agoda, Buy Me a Coffee, Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, Wikimedia Commons, analytics providers, hosting providers, and future advertising partners. These providers may process data under their own privacy policies.
Maps and embedded content
Station pages may include embedded OpenStreetMap maps and links to Google Maps. Embedded maps and external links may allow those services to receive technical information such as IP address, browser information, or the page you came from. Google Maps is used as an external link, not as a Google Maps API integration.
Consent and withdrawal
The analytics consent banner lets you accept or reject Google Analytics before it loads. You can change your analytics choice later from the cookie settings link in the footer, and you may also withdraw consent by clearing cookies in your browser.
Data retention basics
Email messages and correction reports may be kept as long as needed to reply, verify reported changes, maintain schedule history, or protect the site from abuse. Analytics and third-party data retention periods depend on the provider settings and policies.
Contact
For privacy questions, correction requests, outdated schedule reports, or operator updates, contact bangkokpattayabus@gmail.com. Please do not use this email for urgent travel support; confirm urgent travel details directly with the bus station or operator.
