Legal
Last updated: 1 January 2026. This policy explains what cookies are, how Crystal Dream Shift uses them on our website, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to improve performance, and to provide information to website owners. Cookies can be "session" cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them).
Crystal Dream Shift uses a minimal set of cookies on our website. These fall into the following categories:
These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They include:
If you accept cookies, we may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are visited most, how long visitors spend on each page, and what browsers and devices are used. This data is collected in aggregate and is not linked to individual identities. We use this information solely to improve the website's content and performance.
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner is displayed at the bottom of the screen. You may accept or decline non-essential cookies using the buttons provided. Your preference is saved and the banner will not be shown again on subsequent visits.
You may also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. Instructions for the most common browsers are available at the following resources:
Please note that blocking cookies may affect the functionality of some websites, including this one.
Our website does not currently embed third-party social media buttons, advertising scripts, or tracking pixels that would place third-party cookies on your device. If this changes in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly and your consent will be sought again.
The shoji_cookie_consent cookie we set is persistent, meaning it remains on your device for one year (or until you manually delete it). This allows us to remember your preference on subsequent visits so that the consent banner does not appear every time you load the website. Session cookies, by contrast, expire automatically when you close your browser and do not persist across separate browsing sessions.
If you accept our analytics cookies, we may use first-party analytics tools to gather aggregated, anonymised data about visitor behaviour — such as which pages are visited most frequently, average session duration, and device and browser type. This data is collected under your IP address but is not personally identified or linked to your name or contact details. We use this information solely to understand how our website is used and to optimise content and performance.
Our website does not currently embed Facebook pixels, Google Analytics 4 third-party code, or other external tracking mechanisms that would place third-party cookies on your device. We do not integrate social media "Like" or "Share" buttons that transmit data to social platforms. If this changes, we will update this policy and seek your consent again.
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. Our website currently does not respond to DNT signals, though you may still disable or manage cookies through your browser settings at any time.
If you are accessing this website from the European Union, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom, please be aware that the cookie banner and consent mechanism displayed on our site are designed to comply with ePrivacy Directive and GDPR requirements. By clicking "Accept", you are providing explicit consent for us to store the consent cookie and to collect analytics data. You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies and selecting "Decline" on the next visit.
You can delete cookies from your device at any time. To do so, go to your browser's settings and select the option to clear browsing data or cache. Alternatively, you may browse our website using your browser's private or incognito mode, which does not store cookies persistently across sessions. Please note that in private mode, the cookie banner may appear on each visit as the consent preference is not persisted.
The consent cookie we set contains only your preference choice (accept/decline) and a timestamp. It does not contain sensitive personal information. All communication between your browser and our website occurs over encrypted HTTPS connections, which protects cookies in transit from interception.
If you have any questions about our use of cookies or wish to discuss your preferences further, please contact us at info@crystaldreamshift.com or +81 3-3911-8802. You may also refer to our Privacy Policy for additional information about how we handle your personal data.
