Cookie Policy
A plain account of what the SHIBUI pages do in your browser, and how to stay in control.
Contents
In short: the SHIBUI pages do not currently use analytics or advertising tags, and they do not set cookies of their own. The only third-party request is for fonts from Google Fonts. Two Arigatou LLC corporate pages store your banner choice in your browser’s local storage.
1. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files a website asks your browser to keep. Related technologies, such as local storage, let a page save small pieces of information in your browser. They are used to make sites work, to remember choices, and sometimes to measure visits.
2. What the SHIBUI pages do today
This reflects the pages as they stand on the date above.
| Item | What it does | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Google Fonts | Your browser requests the typefaces (Cormorant Garamond, DM Mono and, on some pages, Shippori Mincho) from fonts.googleapis.com, and the font files from fonts.gstatic.com. Google receives technical information such as your IP address and browser details when this happens. | All SHIBUI shop pages |
Local storage: arigatou_cookie_consent | Remembers whether you chose to accept or decline on the consent banner (value accepted or declined). It stays in your browser until you clear it. The banner is in Japanese. | Arigatou LLC corporate pages: privacy.html and contact.html (and the 特定商取引法 page, tokushoho.html) |
| Shopping cart | The cart is held only in the page while it is open. It is not saved to cookies or local storage, so it is emptied when you reload or leave the page. | Shop pages |
| Analytics and advertising | None present. No analytics tag, advertising pixel or social-media tracker is loaded. | Not applicable |
3. If we add analytics later
We may add website analytics in future to understand how the site is used. If we do, we will update this page, and the consent banner and Privacy Policy as needed, before or when it goes live.
4. How to control cookies and stored data
- Most browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) let you block or delete cookies and site data in their privacy or security settings. You can usually block third-party requests or clear data for one site only.
- Clearing site data for a page removes the stored banner choice, so the banner may appear again.
- If you block Google Fonts, the pages still work but will show a fallback typeface.
- Blocking cookies and storage is unlikely to affect the SHIBUI pages today, because they do not rely on them. Placing an order is done by email or the request form.
