Cookie Policy

Effective date: 2026-07-23

This Cookie Policy explains how taxonoskills.sbs uses cookies and similar technologies on taxonoskills.sbs and how you can manage them.

1) What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. We may also use similar technologies (e.g., local storage, pixels, SDKs) that access or store information on your device or transmit event data from your device.

2) Types we use & purposes

Strictly necessary

Used to provide core site functions (e.g., security, load balancing, fraud prevention, session management). These are typically required for the site to work.

Analytics / performance

Used to understand usage (e.g., pages viewed, clicks, referrers, approximate location, device/browser info) and to improve the site. Where enabled, identifiers may be generated from cookies or similar technologies.

Advertising / measurement (if enabled)

Used to measure campaign performance and, where applicable, show or limit ads and create audiences (including remarketing). This may involve sharing cookie identifiers and event data with advertising partners.

3) Third parties / external transmission

Some tags/SDKs may transmit user-terminal information (such as cookie identifiers, IP address, device/browser data, and browsing events) to third-party service providers (e.g., analytics, security, and advertising partners). Where this transmission occurs, we provide an advance confirmation opportunity and, as applicable, consent/opt-out measures in line with the Telecommunications Business Act (Act No. 86 of 1984), Article 27-12.

If cookie identifiers or similar data are provided to a third party and it is expected that the recipient will obtain it as personal data, we handle this in accordance with the Act on the Protection of Personal Information (Act No. 57 of 2003), Article 31 (Restrictions on Provision to Third Parties of Personal-Related Information).

Some providers may be located outside Japan. Where cross-border provision applies, we address it in accordance with the Act on the Protection of Personal Information (Act No. 57 of 2003), Article 28 (Foreign Provision to Third Parties) and describe relevant details in our Privacy Policy.

4) Retention

Retention depends on the type of cookie/technology: session cookies typically expire when you close your browser; persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them. Provider-specific retention periods may vary based on configuration.

5) Your choices

Cookie preferences: If we display a cookie banner or preference center, you can set or update your choices there when available. If your site footer provides a “Cookie Settings” link, use it to reopen preferences.
Browser controls: You can delete cookies and block some or all cookies via your browser settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may impact site functionality.
Third-party opt-outs: Some analytics/advertising providers offer their own opt-out mechanisms (e.g., in their account or ad settings). Use those tools where applicable.

For details on how we handle personal information and related rights/requests, see our Privacy Policy (published in accordance with the Act on the Protection of Personal Information (Act No. 57 of 2003), Article 32 (Matters Concerning the Disclosure of Retained Personal Data)).
