Cookies and local storage
Every cookie and browser-storage key this site can set, what sets it, how long it lasts, and how to refuse it.
Our approach
This site sets no advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking cookies and no third-party marketing tags, and it needs no cookie at all to be read: you can browse every page, run every calculator and use the assistant with cookies blocked entirely.
Visit counting through Vercel Analytics is cookie-free by design. What remains is a small amount of storage in your own browser that holds your work and your preferences, plus — only on a deployment configured with a PostHog project key — an anonymous identifier that lets a sequence of events be read as one visit.
What can be set
| Name | Set by / purpose | Type and lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| pfj.money-plan.v1 | This site, so your Money Plan is still there when you come back. Never transmitted to us. | Local storage — until you delete the plan or clear browser data |
| pfj-view-* | This site, remembering whether you prefer a grid or a row layout in a directory. | Local storage — until you clear browser data |
| ph_* | PostHog, on deployments configured with a project key: an anonymous identifier so events from one visit can be read in order. No name, no account, no profile. | Cookie and local storage — up to 12 months, and not set at all when Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track is on |
| Vercel Analytics | Counting page views and visits without identifying you. | No cookie, no browser storage |
Your language choice is carried in the URL (/en or /ja), not in a cookie, which is why a link you share opens in the language you were reading.
Refusing and deleting
- Send Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track from your browser: measurement is then switched off entirely in code — no events, no pageviews, no analytics library started, and no ph_* identifier set.
- Block or clear cookies and site data in your browser settings, or browse in a private window. The site works normally either way; only your saved plan and layout preference are lost.
- Delete your Money Plan with the delete control in the tool itself, which removes the stored record immediately.
We do not show a cookie consent banner. Nothing we set requires consent under Japanese law, and the measurement that could require consent elsewhere is switched off by the Global Privacy Control signal instead of a click-through — a signal that applies from the very first page load, which a banner cannot. If you are in the EEA or UK and want a stronger guarantee, enable that signal or block the analytics endpoints; we would rather you did that than clicked “accept” to make a banner go away.
