Information handling practices and external data transmission disclosures for HIMOROGI.
Last updated: July 17, 2026
Overview
HIMOROGI ("this site") is a fully static website, and our own servers do not collect or store visitors' personal information. We do not provide account registration, login features, or contact forms.
However, to understand and improve overall site usage, we use Google Analytics 4, a third-party service. Analytics cookies are enabled only if a visitor selects "Accept" in the cookie-consent banner at the bottom of the screen. See "Analytics (Google Analytics 4)" and "External Data Transmission Disclosure" below for details.
Cookies & Local Storage
This site uses Google Analytics cookies only if the visitor selects "Accept" in the cookie-consent banner. If consent is not given, or if "Disable cookies" is selected, no analytics cookies are set (under Google Consent Mode v2, analytics and advertising storage are all set to "denied" by default).
Separately, the site uses browser local storage to save display preferences (such as dark mode) and your cookie-consent choice. Information stored in local storage is not sent to our server.
Analytics (Google Analytics 4)
This site uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4), provided by Google LLC, to aggregate page-view activity and help improve our content. The data collected is intended to understand overall site trends, not to identify individual visitors.
By default, Google Consent Mode v2 sets all analytics and advertising storage to "denied." Analytics cookies are enabled only when a visitor selects "Accept" in the cookie-consent banner; selecting "Disable cookies" keeps the denied state.
Regardless of the consent choice, when gtag.js loads and measurement requests are sent to Google's servers on page view, connection information such as IP address and User-Agent is transmitted to Google (in the denied state, only cookieless aggregation is performed). To revisit your choice, use the "Cookie Settings" control in the footer at the bottom of any page to reopen the consent banner and choose again at any time (clearing the local-storage key himorogi-analytics-consent also resets it). For how GA4 handles collected data, please see Google's Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy).
