Privacy & Cookie Policy

Who we are

YAKUMO JAPAN operates this website from Tokyo, Japan. Questions about this policy may be sent to yakumojapan01@gmail.com.

Your choices

When you first visit, we ask which of the following you allow. Nothing beyond the necessary runs until you choose.

• Necessary — always on. Remembers your light or dark theme and the choice you made here.
• Analytics — Google Analytics 4. Off unless you allow it.
• Marketing — the Meta Pixel. Off unless you allow it.

You may choose “Necessary only” and the site will continue to work. You can reopen “Privacy & cookie settings” in the footer at any time to change your choice.

Google Analytics (Analytics)

With your permission, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors find and use this website. This can include pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser information, referring or campaign information, scrolling, and outbound clicks to eBay. We do not intentionally send names, email addresses, contact-form contents, eBay purchase details, or other directly identifying information to Google Analytics.

Google advertising storage, advertising user data, and advertising personalisation remain disabled; we do not use Google Ads. Google explains how it uses information from sites that use its services at Google’s partner-sites information page.

Meta Pixel (Marketing)

With your permission, we use the Meta Pixel, provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. and Meta Platforms, Inc., to measure the results of our ads on Instagram and Facebook and to show our ads to people who have visited this website. When enabled, the Pixel records that a page was viewed, which maker or reference page it was, and when you follow a link from this site to eBay (the eBay domain and, where present, the listing number), together with browser and device information and the cookies described below.

We do not send names, email addresses, phone numbers, contact-form contents, or eBay purchase details to Meta, and we do not use Meta’s automatic matching of such information. A click to eBay is recorded as a click, not as a purchase. Meta may combine this information with information it holds about you under its own policy; see the Meta Privacy Policy. You can also manage ad preferences in your Meta account settings.

Cookies, storage and retention

• Necessary: your browser’s local storage keeps yakumo-theme (light or dark) and yakumo-consent-v2 (your choice and when you made it). These are not sent to us or to anyone else.
• Analytics: Google Analytics may set first-party cookies such as _ga and _ga_* to distinguish visits. These cookies can remain for up to two years unless you delete them or withdraw consent. YAKUMO JAPAN retains event-level Analytics data for 14 months; aggregated reports may remain available for longer.
• Marketing: the Meta Pixel may set first-party cookies _fbp (a browser identifier) and _fbc (set when you arrive from an ad click). How long they last is set by Meta’s code and may change; when we checked in October 2026, a standard desktop browser was given an expiry of about 90 days. You can delete them at any time, and we remove them from this site when you withdraw consent.

Withdrawing consent

If you turn Analytics or Marketing off in “Privacy & cookie settings”, we stop sending new information to that service straight away and delete its cookies from this site. Information already sent before you withdrew is held by Google or Meta under their own terms and policies.

Processing and transfers

Analytics data is processed by Google, and Marketing data by Meta, under their applicable terms, and may be processed outside your country, including in the United States. Where consent is required, our basis for using Analytics and Marketing is your consent. We use the information to measure website performance, improve content, understand interest in products linked to eBay, and measure and show our ads.

External services

Links to eBay, Instagram, and other external websites take you to services with their own privacy policies. This website does not receive eBay checkout or payment details, and does not pass them to Google Analytics or Meta.
