Cookies Policy

Last updated: January 2026


This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how Dandi Japan (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses them on https://dandijapan.com, and the choices you have.


For information about how we handle personal data more broadly, please see our Privacy Policy. If you have questions, contact us at contact@dandijapan.com.


1) What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. They help websites work properly, remember preferences, measure performance, and (in some cases) deliver advertising.


Cookies can be:


  • Session cookies (deleted when you close your browser)
  • Persistent cookies (remain for a set period or until deleted)

2) Similar technologies

We may also use similar technologies such as pixels/tags/scripts (for example, for analytics, advertising measurement, affiliate tracking, and email performance). These can function like cookies or work alongside them.


3) How we use cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for these purposes:


  • To run the website (security, load balancing, basic functions)
  • To remember preferences (for example, cookie consent choices)
  • To measure performance (analytics such as page views and engagement)
  • To support advertising (showing and measuring ads via partners like Google)
  • To track affiliate referrals (e.g., Amazon Associates / OneLink)

4) Types of cookies we use

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems in some cases. They are usually set in response to actions you take (for example, setting privacy preferences, security protection, or basic site functionality).


B. Preferences / Functionality Cookies

These cookies help the Website remember choices you make (for example, your cookie consent preferences) to provide a more consistent experience.


C. Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics 4)

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our Website (e.g., which pages are visited, time spent, and general site performance). This helps us improve content and usability.


Examples of analytics cookies may include (depending on your settings): _ga, _ga_*.


D. Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)

We use Google AdSense to display ads and measure ad performance. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads, limit how often you see an ad, and measure effectiveness.


In regions where consent is required (for example, the EEA/UK/Switzerland), we show a consent prompt and give you choices before non-essential advertising cookies are used.


E. Affiliate Cookies (Amazon Associates / OneLink)

Dandi Japan participates in the Amazon Associates Program (including OneLink). If you click an Amazon affiliate link, Amazon may use cookies or similar technologies to track referrals and attribute purchases to our account.


F. Email Tracking (Mailchimp)

If you subscribe to our newsletter, emails sent via Mailchimp may include tracking technologies (such as pixels) that help us understand delivery and engagement (for example, opens and clicks). You can unsubscribe anytime using the link included in our emails.


5) Third-party cookies

Some cookies may be set by third parties when you use our Website. This can include:


  • Google (AdSense and Analytics)
  • Amazon (affiliate / OneLink tracking after you click an Amazon link)
  • Mailchimp (newsletter sign-up and email engagement tracking)

These third parties may process information according to their own policies. We recommend reviewing their privacy/cookie policies for more details.


6) Your choices and how to manage cookies

A. Cookie banner / consent choices

Where required by law, we ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies (such as analytics and advertising cookies). You can change your choices anytime using our cookie settings (if available on the banner) or by clearing cookies in your browser and revisiting the site.


B. Browser controls

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. If you disable cookies, some parts of the Website may not work properly.



7) Changes to this Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and update the “Last updated” date above.
