This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used when you visit our Site and what these technologies are, as well as your right to control the use. A "Site" includes our websites, emails, and other applications owned and operated by Kinokuniya Bookstores of America.
We may change this Cookie Policy at any time. When we make changes, we’ll update the “Effective Date” at the top of the Cookie Policy and post it on our sites. Any change in this Cookie Policy will become effective when we make the revised Cookie Policy available on or through the Site. We encourage you to check back periodically to review this Cookie Policy for any changes since your last visit.
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are sent to your browser from our Site and are stored on your computer's hard drive. Each time you visit our Site from the same computer, the cookie will be retrieved from your computer, enabling our Site to recognize your computer as having previously visited our Site and thereby increase the functionality of our Site on your computer. Cookies help us measure the number of visits, average time spent, page views, and other statistics relating to your access to this Site. This information allows us to administer the Site better and provide a more tailored and user-friendly service to our Site visitors.
We may also use "web beacons" (also known as "clear GIFs" or "pixel tags") or similar technologies on our Site to enable us to know whether you have visited a web page or received a message. A web beacon is typically a one-pixel, transparent image (although it can be a visible image as well), located on a web page or in an email or other type of message, which is retrieved from a remote website on the internet enabling the verification of an individual's viewing or receipt of a web page or message. A web beacon helps us to understand whether you came to our website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, measure successes of email marketing campaigns, and improve our website performance. They may also enable us to relate your viewing or receipt of a web page or message to other information about you, including your personal information. In many instances, web beacons rely on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings on your browser. However, if you disable this function (or keep this function disabled, as set by default by certain browsers), your experience on the Site may be diminished and some features may not work as intended.
