Cookie Policy

Effective Date: 2026-05-27 Last Updated: 2026-05-28

This Cookie Policy explains how Migaki at migaki.moe ("Migaki," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar storage technologies.

We aim for minimal cookie usage. We do not use third-party advertising cookies, third-party analytics cookies, tracking pixels, or social-media share buttons that load remote scripts.

1. What Are Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser when you visit. It allows the site to remember information about you (such as your login session) across page loads.

We also occasionally use functionally-equivalent browser storage mechanisms (e.g., localStorage) for the same minimal purposes described below.

2. Cookies We Use

We use only the following cookies:

Name Type Purpose Lifespan Set by
session Strictly necessary Authenticates your account after sign-in 7 days Migaki

Cookie attributes: HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax (industry best practice for authentication cookies).

We also use the following localStorage keys (functionally equivalent to a strictly-necessary cookie, no cross-site tracking):

Key Purpose Lifespan
migaki:pending_payment Remembers which subscription tier you started checkout for, to restore the flow if you return from the payment processor Cleared on next visit or 24 hours
migaki:pending_payment_at Timestamp companion to the above Cleared on next visit or 24 hours

3. Cookies We Do Not Use

  • Third-party advertising cookies
  • Third-party analytics cookies
  • Tracking pixels or web beacons
  • Social-media share buttons that load remote scripts
  • Cookies that persist across visits to other websites
  • Profiling cookies that build a behavioral profile of you

4. Third Parties That May Set Cookies

When you check out, you are redirected to the Merchant of Record or checkout provider's hosted checkout page. The payment processor may set its own cookies on its own checkout page. We do not control those cookies; see the privacy notice presented at checkout or linked from your receipt.

These cookies are set on the processor's domain, not on migaki.moe.

5. Your Choices

Because our session cookie is strictly necessary for authentication, disabling it will prevent you from staying signed in. There are no advertising or analytics cookies to opt out of, because we do not set any.

You can:

  • Sign out of your account at any time, which invalidates the session cookie
  • Clear cookies for migaki.moe in your browser settings (this will sign you out)
  • Configure your browser to block all cookies (this will prevent you from signing in)

6. GDPR / EU + UK Users

Under EU/UK ePrivacy and GDPR rules, websites must obtain consent before setting non-essential cookies. Because Migaki only sets a strictly-necessary authentication cookie (and equivalent localStorage for checkout flow continuity), no consent is required for the cookies themselves. We still show a one-time banner on your first visit informing you what we use and pointing here.

You can lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe we have misused cookies. See our Privacy Policy §5 for full data-subject rights.

7. CCPA (California) Users

We do not sell or share personal information collected via cookies for cross-context behavioral advertising. There are no advertising or analytics cookies to opt out of.

8. Updates to This Policy

This policy may be updated. Material changes will be communicated by email.
