Does ICHIBA USA use "cookies"?Yes, we use cookies. What are cookies? Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. For example, cookies are used to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart. They are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved and convenient services. Moreover, it helps us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.
Your choices with cookies: You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser (like Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies.
