How We Use Cookies

Managing Your Preferences
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline them if you prefer. However, please note that this may impact the functionality of our real-time analytics dashboards.
First-Party Cookies
These are set directly by SakuraTechMetrics.digital. They are primarily session-based and expire once the browser is closed. We use these to ensure that the static insights provided in our Metrics Directory remain formatted correctly for your screen size and device type.
Analytic Pixels
In some cases, we use tracking pixels in our technical updates to verify if our methodology deep-dives reached our professional subscribers. This helps us refine the relevance of our software industry reporting.
Updates to this Policy
As technology metrics evolve, so does our platform. We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies we use for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to revisit this page to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
