Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2026-02-14
1. About This Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Nstock K.K. ("the Company," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on ntsock.com. It supplements our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal information more broadly.
Nstock's platform handles sensitive corporate data including cap table records and stock option grants. We keep our cookie use narrow: only what is needed to operate the platform reliably and measure how features are used in aggregate.
2. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow us to recognise your browser session, store your preferences, and measure usage patterns. We also use related technologies such as browser local storage, which operates similarly to cookies in terms of storing state on your device.
3. How We Use Cookies
| Category | Examples and purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Authentication session token, CSRF protection, cookie-banner dismissal state. Required for the platform to function. | Session to 12 months |
| Preferences | UI language preference, collapsed/expanded state of navigation panels. | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics | Anonymised usage metrics: which features are used, error rates, page load times. We do not associate analytics data with individual shareholder records or option grant data. | Up to 13 months |
| Marketing | Not currently used. | Not applicable |
4. Notice and Choice
The Service uses a notice-only consent model. We inform you of our cookie use on first visit. By continuing to use the Service, you acknowledge this use. You can opt out of analytics cookies by declining through the cookie banner on your first visit, or at any time using the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer.
5. Opt-Out Signals
We honour the Global Privacy Control ("GPC") signal. If your browser transmits GPC, we will not initialise analytics cookies during your session, regardless of any prior banner dismissal. This applies to all visitors and is enforced at the technical level in our cookie-banner script.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party service providers acting on our behalf, such as our analytics provider. We have data processing agreements with such providers that restrict their use of data to providing the service to us. We do not permit third-party advertising cookies on ntsock.com.
7. Managing Cookies
- Use the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer of any page to reopen the cookie notice and opt out of analytics.
- Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the platform from functioning correctly. See aboutcookies.org for browser-specific instructions.
8. Changes and Contact
We may update this policy when we change our analytics tools or add new cookies to the Service. The "Last updated" date will reflect any revision.
