This Cookies Policy explains what cookies (and similar technologies) are, how Furayoshi uses them, and how third-party services linked from this site use them. By using https://furayoshi.com you agree to this policy.
Company: Gobbo Francesco, Corso Casale, 66, Asti, Italy. Website: furayoshi.com (https://furayoshi.com).
What are cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They can be “session” (deleted when you close the browser) or “persistent” (stay until expiry). Similar technologies include localStorage and sessionStorage.
Cookies and similar storage we use directly
We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or analytics cookies on this site.
| Type | Name / mechanism | Purpose | Duration | Administered by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LocalStorage | cookieBannerDisplayed |
Remembers that you dismissed the cookie-notice banner (if shown). This is not a cookie; it is browser localStorage. | Until cleared by user | Us (site) |
| LocalStorage | furayoshi-theme |
Remembers your chosen theme (black / dark / light) so the site opens in the same mode. Not a cookie. | Until cleared by user | Us (site) |
We do not collect sensitive personal data in any of the above.
Technologies loaded directly on our pages
The following third-party technologies load from our own pages, not only on external destinations:
| Service | Where it loads | Typical purpose | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare, Inc. (cdn & security provider) | every page (network level) | Traffic optimization and distribution, security (bot mitigation, firewall) | May set technical identifiers such as __cf_bm only when specific security features trigger; no advertising cookies. No such cookies were observed on normal loads. See the privacy policy section “Content delivery: Cloudflare”. |
| YouTube media players | never loaded automatically — the player box on blog posts loads only after you press “Play video” | Video playback | After your click, Google (YouTube) delivers the player: records your request (IP, user-agent) and sets cookies on youtube.com (e.g. VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE), plus Google-account-dependent states may apply. Nothing happens before your click. |
Twitch media player (/live) |
never loaded automatically — loads only after you press “Watch me live” | Live-stream playback | After your click, Twitch (twitch.tv) loads its player and processes your request per its own policy; its authentication cookies apply where logged in. Nothing happens before your click. |
| Gumroad purchase buttons | no script ever: the button is a plain outbound link; clicking it navigates your browser to gumroad.com | External checkout | We never load anything from Gumroad on our pages. After your click, the gumroad.com destination records your request (IP, browser) and sets its own cookies per its consent UI. |
No other page of this site loads third-party scripts, ads or analytics.
Third-party cookies from linked external services
Beyond the table above, our support/affiliate pages (/support/affiliates/, /support/donation/) contain referral links to external services. When you click or visit those external links, the destination site (not this site) may place cookies, pixels, or other tracking technologies on your device.
A note on older articles: some blog pages from previous decades display images that are served directly by external hosts (blogspot image CDN, ipfs.io gateways, wikipedia/instagram CDNs); such page views send your IP to those third parties. We host no trackers or scripts of that kind ourselves.
The following external services may use cookies when you visit them via our links (the table describes the destinations, not what our pages load directly — for that see the previous section). We list them because they appear on our affiliate/support pages; we do not control their cookie practices.

Your choices regarding cookies and tracking
- For our site: You can disable all cookies (and clear localStorage) using your browser settings. Because we do not rely on cookies for core functionality, the site works without them. The banner notice (if enabled) uses only localStorage; rejecting it means the banner may reappear.
- For external links: If you prefer not to be tracked by external affiliate/payment services, do not click referral links from
/support/affiliates/, or use browser tools/extensions that block third-party cookies (e.g., Brave, uBlock Origin, Firefox Enhanced Tracking Protection) before visiting those links. - General browser guides:
