Cookie Policy
Last updated:
A cookie is a small text file a website asks a browser to store, usually to remember something between visits without requiring a visitor to log in. Foyuya Hofiwo uses a small number of cookies for straightforward reasons, and this page walks through what each one does without burying the explanation in unnecessary legal density.
Necessary cookies come first because they are the only category that cannot be turned off through the preference control at the bottom of the screen. These cookies remember the choice a visitor already made about cookie preferences themselves, which is somewhat circular but genuinely required so the consent prompt does not reappear on every page load.
Analytics cookies are optional and, if accepted, help build an aggregate picture of which articles get read and which pages visitors leave quickly. No individual visitor profile is built from this data, and declining these cookies does not restrict access to any part of the site in any way.
Preference cookies are also optional and simply remember small display choices a visitor might make while browsing, such as whether the mobile menu overlay was recently open. These have no bearing on advertising or tracking of any kind, and their absence only means a setting resets between visits.
The floating pill control fixed at the bottom of the screen is how these choices get made. Clicking it expands into a small panel listing each category described above, and a visitor can accept everything, decline everything but necessary cookies, or select categories individually before saving.
Preferences are stored in a cookie named to reflect this domain, and that stored preference is what determines whether the consent prompt appears again on a return visit. Clearing browser cookies resets this choice, which means the prompt will reappear and ask again on the next visit.
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act and similar state-level privacy laws, visitors retain the right to decline non-essential cookies at any time, which this site's control panel is built to support directly. Foyuya Hofiwo does not use cookies for cross-site advertising tracking, and no data collected through analytics cookies is sold to third parties.
Questions about specific cookies in use, or requests to clarify how a particular category behaves, can be sent to [email protected]. This policy will be revised if the cookie categories in use on this site change in any material way.
