Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 19, 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better browsing experience, and to supply reporting information to the operators of the site. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Genki Digital) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable features or functionality provided by external services—such as analytics, interactive content, and advertising—to be delivered on or through the website.
2. How We Use Cookies
When you visit our website at genkidigital.com, we may place cookies on your device that fall into the following categories:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as session management, security token validation, and load balancing. Without these cookies, the services you have requested cannot be provided. Because these cookies are essential, they cannot be refused and do not require your consent under applicable law.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies collect information about page views, scroll behavior, time spent on pages, referral sources, and navigation paths. We may deploy analytics services such as Vercel Analytics, Google Analytics, or similar privacy-conscious measurement tools to aggregate this data. The information collected is used solely to improve the structure and content of our website and is processed in a manner that does not personally identify individual visitors unless consent has been explicitly granted.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made, such as your preferred color theme, language settings, or the progress of partially completed forms. These cookies enhance your experience by providing personalized features. If you disable functional cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Certain cookies on our website are placed by third-party service providers. These include analytics providers (such as Google LLC and Vercel Inc.) that help us measure and analyze website traffic, as well as providers of embedded content (such as video players, social media widgets, or interactive tools) that may set their own cookies when you interact with such content. We do not control the cookies set by these third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party service before interacting with embedded content on our site.
Cookies Used on This Website
The following table describes the specific cookies we use, their type, purpose, and how long they remain on your device:
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Analytics | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique visitors by assigning a randomly generated identifier | 2 years |
| _gid | Analytics | Google Analytics — identifies a browsing session for aggregated session-level reporting | 24 hours |
| _gat | Analytics | Google Analytics — throttles the request rate to limit data collection on high-traffic pages | 1 minute |
| __vercel_live_token | Essential | Vercel — authenticates connections to Vercel's deployment preview and live collaboration features | Session |
| cookie_consent | Essential | Stores your cookie consent preferences so that the consent banner is not displayed on subsequent visits | 1 year |
| theme | Functional | Remembers your selected color theme preference (light or dark mode) across sessions | 1 year |
4. Cookie Duration
Cookies placed on your device may be either “session cookies” or “persistent cookies.” Session cookies are temporary files that are erased when you close your browser. They are used to maintain state during a single browsing session (for example, keeping you authenticated as you navigate between pages). Persistent cookies remain on your device for a predetermined period or until you manually delete them. The retention period for each persistent cookie is specified in the table above. We review our cookie usage periodically and will not retain cookies for longer than is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which they were placed.
5. Managing Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to refuse all cookies, to accept only first-party cookies, or to prompt you each time a cookie is offered. Please note that if you disable or refuse cookies, some parts of our website may become inaccessible or may not function as intended.
Below are instructions for managing cookies in major browsers:
- Google Chrome: Navigate to Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data. From there you can block third-party cookies, block all cookies, or clear cookies when you close Chrome.
- Mozilla Firefox: Navigate to Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data. Firefox offers Standard, Strict, and Custom protection levels that control which cookies are permitted.
- Apple Safari: Navigate to Preferences > Privacy. Safari blocks cross-site tracking cookies by default. You may also choose to block all cookies or manage stored website data individually.
- Microsoft Edge: Navigate to Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data. You can block third-party cookies, block all cookies, or clear cookies on close.
6. Cookie Consent (GDPR / ePrivacy)
In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC, as amended), we obtain your explicit, informed consent before placing any non-essential cookies on your device. When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner will be displayed that allows you to accept or reject specific categories of cookies. Essential cookies, which are strictly necessary for the provision of our services, do not require consent and will be placed regardless of your selection.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by clearing the cookies stored in your browser (see Section 5 above) or by using the cookie preference controls on our website, if available. Upon withdrawal of consent, we will cease placing the non-essential cookies for which consent was previously granted. Please be aware that withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent before its withdrawal.
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that sends a signal to the websites you visit indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. At this time, our website does not respond differently to DNT signals. However, you may manage your tracking preferences through the cookie consent mechanism described in Section 6 or by adjusting your browser's cookie settings as described in Section 5. We will update this policy if a uniform DNT standard is adopted and we alter our practices in response.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or improvements in our data practices. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through a prominent notice on our website or by other means. We encourage you to review this policy periodically so that you remain informed about how we use cookies.
