Cookie Policy

Last updated: May 2026. This Cookie Policy explains how Japan-EZ uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on japan-ez.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, cart contents, and display settings) over time, so you don't have to re-enter them on each visit.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

• Strictly necessary cookies: required for core functionality such as cart, checkout, login sessions, and security. These cannot be disabled.
• Preference cookies: remember your language, currency, and regional settings.
• Analytics cookies: help us understand how visitors use the site (pages visited, time spent, traffic source) via tools like Google Analytics. Data is aggregated and anonymized where possible.
• Marketing cookies: used by us and partners (e.g. Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel) to show relevant ads and measure campaign performance.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services that appear on our pages, including Shopify (checkout), Stripe and PayPal (payments), YouTube and Instagram (embedded media), and analytics or advertising providers. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies.

4. Managing Your Preferences

You can accept or reject non-essential cookies via the cookie banner shown on your first visit, and update your choices at any time through the "Cookie Settings" link in our footer. You can also block or delete cookies via your browser settings — note that disabling essential cookies will break parts of the site (cart, checkout, login).

5. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is no industry consensus on how to respond to DNT, so we currently do not change behavior based on this signal. We instead honor the choices you make in our cookie banner.

6. Retention

Cookies are stored for varying periods — session cookies are deleted when you close your browser; persistent cookies remain until they expire (typically 30 days to 24 months) or you delete them manually.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates the most recent revision.
