What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide reporting information. Cookies set by Clip Studio are called "first-party" cookies. Cookies set by other providers, such as our analytics and advertising partners, are called "third-party" cookies.
Cookies can be "Persistent" or "Session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your browser. We use both, along with related technologies such as web beacons, pixels, tags, and scripts, to operate, secure, analyze, and improve the Service.
Why we use cookies
We use cookies for several reasons. Some are strictly necessary to run the Service, keep you signed in, and protect your account. Others let us remember your preferences, measure how the Service is used, and evaluate the performance of our marketing so we can keep improving Clip Studio. We do not use cookies to sell your personal information, and we do not claim to collect nothing — the categories and providers below describe exactly what is in use.

How to control cookies
You can decide whether to accept or reject cookies. Most browsers let you refuse all cookies, accept only some, or alert you when a cookie is being set. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of the Service may become unavailable or may not function properly — for example, you may not be able to stay signed in.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings:
You can also opt out of interest-based advertising or limit analytics through the providers themselves:
