Privacy

This site is a portfolio of Kazuyo's paintings. It has no accounts, no forms and no shop, and it does not sell or share information about visitors.

What happens when you visit

The site is served by Cloudflare. Like any web server, it sees your IP address and browser details to deliver the pages; Cloudflare does not keep them for us.

Each painting shows how many times it has been viewed. A view counts once per visitor per painting per day. To tell visits apart, the site makes a one-way fingerprint of your IP address, the painting and the date, and deletes it the next day. Your IP address itself is never stored, and the counter sets no cookies.

Cookies

Necessary. Always on, set by this site and read only by it:

• kz_geo holds your country and region as Cloudflare sees them (for example US-CA), so the site knows whether to ask before using analytics. It lasts one day.
• kz_consent remembers your cookie choice and when you made it. It lasts six months; after that, or when this notice changes in a way that needs a new choice, you are asked again.

Analytics. Google Analytics 4, loaded through Google Tag Manager, counts visits: which pages and paintings are seen, roughly where visitors come from, what device and browser they use, and clicks on the email, phone and enquiry links. It sets the cookies _ga and _ga_…, which last up to two years. Google Analytics data is kept for two months; the totals in reports are kept longer. The tag is served from this domain (studiokazuyo.com/metrics), but the data still goes to Google, under Google's privacy policy.

Marketing. None. The site runs no advertising. If an advertising or other third-party tag is ever added, it will only run when marketing cookies are allowed.

Your choice

In the European Union and European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Quebec, analytics and marketing cookies stay off until you choose, and a banner asks you first. Elsewhere, analytics is on and marketing is off unless you change it. Everyone can change their choice at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page.

If your browser sends Global Privacy Control, marketing cookies are turned off for you. A choice you make in Cookie settings takes priority.

When analytics is off, Google Analytics sets no cookies. Google may still receive basic signals without identifiers, such as that a page was opened, which it uses only for overall counts.
