yubiru.com uses only a few cookies and browser storage items, and only to make the site work: to keep you signed in, finish a checkout and remember your language. We do not use advertising or analytics cookies, so we do not show a cookie banner.
1. what cookies and storage are
A cookie is a small file a website saves in your browser. Browser storage (localStorage and sessionStorage) works in a similar way. The law in the EU, the UK and elsewhere allows websites to use these without asking first when they are strictly necessary for a service you asked for, such as staying signed in or remembering the language you chose. Everything below is of that kind.

4. other companies
Stripe. When you pay, you go to Stripe's checkout and billing pages on stripe.com. Stripe sets its own cookies there to process payments and prevent fraud. See Stripe's cookie policy.
Sign-in providers. If you sign in with Google, LINE, Facebook or Apple, you go to their pages, which use their own cookies.
Cloudflare. Our network provider may set a strictly necessary security cookie (such as __cf_bm) to tell people from bots.
Fonts. The fonts on our pages are stored on our own server, so loading a page sends nothing to Google or any other font service.
We do not use Google Analytics, advertising pixels, social media trackers or any other tracking.
5. information sent from your browser (for users in Japan)
This table describes information sent from your device to other companies when you use our website (外部送信).
You can block or delete cookies and storage in your browser settings. If you block yubiru_user, you cannot stay signed in. If you clear yubiru-lang, the site will show English again until you choose another language.
7. the Mac app
The Yubiru app does not use cookies. It stores your settings, chats and notes in files on your Mac, as described in our privacy policy.
8. changes
If we ever want to use cookies that are not strictly necessary, such as analytics, we will update this page and ask for your consent first where the law requires it. Questions: [email protected].
This page is published in English, Thai and Japanese. If the versions differ, the English version applies, except where the law of the country you live in requires a version in your language to apply.
