COOKIE POLICY
This policy describes how Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten Ltd. uses cookies and similar technologies for its website. Cookies are used to distinguish you from other users through online services.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files of letters and numbers that websites you visit ask your browser to store on your device (computer or smartphone, etc.). They are used to remember information about you, your preferences (language of choice, etc.), or your device information and other settings, when you revisit it. Cookies can also be used to track your browsing activities across multiple websites.
What cookies do we use?
The types of cookies we use are listed below. They fall under two categories, strictly necessary cookies and optional cookies.
We also use both first-party cookies and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are set directly by the website users are visiting. Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one users are visiting; this happens when the website incorporates elements from other sites, such as images, social media plugins, or advertising. Certain features on our website, for example embedded videos, may be offered by third parties, or redirect you to third parties when you use those features. Third parties may obtain information about you when you use such features and may also use cookies themselves, over which we have no control.
