Cookie Policy
Last updated October 8, 2026
kisostudios.com, operated by Kiso Studios LLC, uses two analytics tools. One is cookieless. The other — Google Analytics — does set cookies. Details below. This policy covers this site only; products hosted elsewhere, like NipponNavi, have their own.
Cookies this site sets
_ga— Google Analytics, distinguishes visitors, expires after 2 years_ga_<container-id>— Google Analytics, tracks session state, expires after 2 years
These are first-party cookies set by Google Analytics (GA4), not third-party advertising cookies. We don’t use them, and Google Analytics doesn’t use them by default, for ad targeting or retargeting.
What we don’t use
- No advertising or retargeting cookies
- No third-party tracking scripts beyond Google Analytics
- Vercel Analytics, the site’s other analytics tool, sets no cookies at all — it identifies visits using a hash generated from the request, discarded after 24 hours
Your choices
You can block or delete these cookies in your browser’s settings at any time, or use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Blocking them doesn’t affect your ability to use the site — nothing here is required for the site to function.
Standard hosting logs
Our hosting provider (Vercel) automatically logs basic technical request information for operational and security purposes, as essentially every website’s infrastructure does. This happens at the server level, not through cookies placed in your browser, and isn’t used to track you across sites or build an advertising profile.
If this changes
If we add or remove any cookie-setting tool, this page will be updated first, with a new “Last updated” date above.
