1. About this Notice
This Cookie Notice explains how and why Mapxus uses cookies and similar technologies on its websites (mapxus.com and the Japanese-language site operated by Mapxus Technology Japan K.K.). This Notice supplements the Mapxus Privacy Policy mapxus.com/legal/privacy.
We will obtain your explicit opt-in consent through our Cookie Preference Centre before placing any cookies on your device that are not strictly necessary for the Website’s function. You can review, update, or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time through the Cookie Preference Centre available in the footer of each website.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, local storage, and SDK-level identifiers. Cookies can be:
• Session cookies — deleted when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies — remain on your device until they expire or you delete them
• First-party cookies — set by Mapxus
• Third-party cookies — set by a service provider on our behalf (e.g., analytics or marketing provider)
3. How we use cookies on our websites
We use cookies and similar technologies for four categories of purpose.
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core features such as session management, preferences (language selection), and security. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled.
3.2 Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, so we can improve it. They do not identify you personally; they collect aggregated data such as page views, time on page, and referral sources.
Note: Mapxus is in the process of phasing out Google Analytics in favour of Amplitude. During the transition, both may be active.
3.3 Marketing cookies
Mapxus does not currently use marketing cookies.
3.4 Our mobile SDK does NOT set cookies on your device
The Mapxus Android SDK and iOS SDK do not set browser cookies on End User devices. SDK-level data handling is described in the applicable Mapxus Privacy Policy.
4. Your choices
You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways:
• On our websites: use the cookie preference centre available via the footer
• In your browser: most browsers let you refuse cookies or delete existing cookies. Instructions vary by browser
• Via Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control: our websites respect Global Privacy Control signals where supported
Declining analytics or marketing cookies will not affect core website functionality but may reduce the relevance of content shown to you.
5. Region-specific information
