About Cookies

Our website uses a technology called 'cookies' for the following purposes.

  • For us, our technology advertising partners, or other business partners to send information to your browser
  • To use third-party advertising delivery services

About SSL

The Company’s websites support SSL to protect the personal information of customers. By using a web browser that supports this security feature, the personal information entered by a customer such as their name, address or telephone number is encrypted before being sent or received. This removes any fear that a third party could eavesdrop on your information even if the transmitted data is intercepted.
When using a web browser that does not support SSL, you may be unable to access Company websites, or unable to enter information.

What is Secure Socket Layer (SSL)?
SSL is a security feature that encrypts information before it is transmitted over the Internet. As the SSL feature itself is continually improved, updating to the latest version of your web browser software is recommended.

  • Please note that for some services, there are restrictions on the browser versions that can be used.

You can check whether security functions in your browser are active through your browser’s interface. If the key icon displayed at the bottom of the browser is in a locked position, it means that the security feature is enabled, and you can use the website with peace of mind. However, depending on the webpage configuration, even if the security feature is enabled, the key icon may not be shown as locked.

Customer Access Logs and Histories

For the Company website and mass-distributed emails, the Company records information on access and opened emails in the form of access logs (access histories).
Access logs comprise the domain name and IP address of the person who accessed the site or opened the email, the type of browser that was being used, the date and time of access, the originating URL (if the Company website was accessed via a search site, this will include the keyword the customer entered into the relevant search site), whether the email message was opened, and so on.
Generally, however, these access logs do not contain information that could be used to identify an individual.
While these access logs are primarily used to improve the service of the website and mass-distributed emails, for maintenance and administration, and for performing statistical analysis, they may also be used to provide accurate information tailored to customers (for example, the automatic selection and display of information pre-determined by the Company based on the keywords a customer has entered into a search site).
Some of the pages on Company websites are installed with an access log collection and analysis service that uses web beacons and cookies provided by a service provider.
In these cases, web beacons are embedded in pages to send access information to the service provider’s log collection and analysis server, and when a customer views a relevant page, an anonymous access log is recorded on the service provider’s server linked from the web beacon, and at the same time, a cookie linked with the web beacon is sent to the customer’s computer. The linking of web beacons and cookies can be prevented by disabling the cookie feature in your browser, but doing so may render all or part of services unavailable.

For services used after a customer has registered their personal information with the Company in advance, access logs collected using cookies, web beacons and the like are recorded and referenced in a way that links them to the personal information of customer that the Company possesses, but these kinds of access logs are handled appropriately in accordance with the Company’s privacy policy as part of personal information. When the Company links access logs with personal information to use for purposes other than those listed below, it will specify the purpose of use to customers in advance for each service.

  • To provide customers with notifications about service usage and other information
  • To respond to inquiries from customers
  • To register and manage the personal information of customers
  • The reasons listed under “Provision of Personal Information to Third Parties” above
  • About Access to External Servers
    The use of services, purchasing, requests for information and other activities on a Company website may constitute an affiliate advertising event, and in such cases, a web beacon specified by an advertising firm or other party may be embedded on a Company webpage.
    When a customer has viewed a relevant page, an access of an external server managed by the advertising firm or other party will occur at the same time.
    However, in general the log of the access in question will only be used anonymously to identify via which site a customer arrived at the page.
    Also note that access logs of such external servers are managed under the responsibility of the advertising firms or other parties concerned, and the Company has no right whatsoever to view or use these logs.

    What is a Web Beacon?
    A web beacon is a small transparent image embedded in a website or HTML-based email message. When a customer has viewed a website or HTML-based email message with an embedded web beacon, information about the view event is recorded on the web server side.
