About Use of Cookies

　A cookie is a mechanism that, when a website is accessed, makes a log of the transmissions between the user’s browser and the server, in a file on the user’s computer. In that file, it also logs things like items entered on the website. The next time the website is accessed, the site operator can use the information stored by the cookie to vary the displays and other aspects of the site so as to suit that particular user. If your browser is set to allow data transmissions by cookies, the website can acquire a cookie from it. In order to protect your privacy, your browser will only transmit a cookie transmitted from the website’s server.

　You can choose from various options for your cookie transmission setting, such as “Accept all cookies”, “Reject all cookies”, “Notify me when a cookie is received”, and so on. The setting options vary with the browser. Use the “Help” or similar menu on your browser to check the setting options available.
　Selecting the “Reject all cookies” setting may restrict your use of various services on the Internet – for example you may no longer be able to use services that require authentication.
