Cookie Policy
This page explains cookies and similar technologies on e2japan.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Related technologies (local storage, pixels, scripts) may serve similar purposes.
Cookies and similar tech we use
- Essential — session cookies for security and signed-in areas (for example business owner or admin login), CSRF protection, and locale preference
- Analytics — Google Analytics 4 and Ahrefs Web Analytics may set cookies or read device/browser signals to measure traffic. We may also load measurement scripts that fire custom events
- Advertising — Google AdSense may set cookies or use similar technologies to serve and measure ads
- First-party measurement — some analytics are stored on our servers without relying on advertising cookies (page events, affiliate outbound redirects, truncated search queries). A hashed daily visitor key may be derived from IP and user-agent for unique-count estimates
Consent and controls
Essential cookies stay on. In the EEA, UK, and Switzerland we show a cookie banner and load Analytics and ads (Google Analytics 4, Ahrefs, and Google AdSense) only if you choose “Accept analytics & ads”. Elsewhere we load those scripts by default based on approximate location from our CDN. You can opt in or out anytime via “Cookie settings” in the footer. You can also block cookies in your browser; blocking essential cookies may break login and some forms.
