In this Cookie Policy, we explain:

The information in this Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Notice, which describes our general privacy practices. Our Privacy Notice is available at https://hbx.com/jp/privacy.

We may use both first-party tracking technologies, which are set by us, and third-party tracking technologies, which are set by other parties.

Uses of Data

We and authorized third parties use tracking technologies for purposes including:

Disclosures of Data

We may disclose data collected through tracking technologies to the following types of recipients or allow the following recipients to directly collect data using tracking technologies:

When we collect and disclose information to these recipients through tracking technologies, we act as joint controllers with the recipients, but only to the extent technically necessary for the collection and disclosure of the information. Once the data has been transmitted to the recipient, we and the recipient act as independent controllers. We do not have any control over nor are we responsible for the recipient’s data processing activities as an independent controller. We recommend that you review these parties’ privacy policies and cookie policies to better understand their privacy practices.

Your Choices

You can control how we use cookies and other tracking technologies. Please be aware that if you disable the use of tracking technologies, the functionality of our Digital Properties may be negatively impacted and certain areas or features may not display or work correctly.

Preference Center. In jurisdictions where applicable law requires your consent to place cookies and other tracking technologies and collect your data through these tracking technologies, you can withdraw your consent at any time using our Preference Center.

Browser settings. If you want to disable the use of certain specific tracking technologies or remove them from your device, you can disable or delete them using your browser settings. Please be aware that not all tracking technologies can be deleted through browser settings. The following links contain instructions for commonly used browsers:

Interest-Based Advertising. Some of the third parties we work with participate in industry groups that offer mechanisms for opting out of interest-based advertising. Residents of Europe can use the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out tool at https://www.youronlinechoices.eu/, and residents of the United States can use the Digital Advertising Alliance’s mechanism at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and the Network Advertising Initiative’s mechanism at https://optout.networkadvertising.org/. We comply with the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (DAA) Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising and related DAA guidance. Opting out of interest-based advertising using these tools will not opt you out of all advertising, but rather only interested-based advertising from us or our partners or representatives.

If you are using a mobile device, you can manage interest-based ads on your device by adjusting the settings provided by your device manufacturer or the operating system provider:

Do Not Track. Web browsers and other technologies you may use to access the Digital Properties may include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your preference to not have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As a result, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or similar mechanisms.
