Konami may use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies when collecting the Information listed in Section 2 of “Information Collection“ of the Privacy Policy.

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we put on your computer if you use our website. These cookies allow us to distinguish you from other users of the website which helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our website. Konami uses cookies to track how individual browsers access our website and servers, and we adjust website configurations so that the next time you use a particular browser to access the Konami website or server, your experience is more enjoyable and convenient. We may also track you when you are on third-party websites. You can change your browser settings to disable cookies, but please be aware that in such cases we may not be able to provide you with an optimal website experience, or some of Konami’s other services may not be available to you. Please contact your browser provider for questions about how to change your browser settings. We do not currently respond to browser do-not-track signals.

Web beacons, which are tiny pieces of image data that cause a send request to be made, are used to collect data (including cookie information) designated by a website operator.

Konami and some third parties to which Konami contracts advertising, publicity, data analysis, and other services may at times use web beacons to perform these functions, but you can stop the collection of information through web beacons by contacting the relevant service provider and following the specific procedure set down by that service provider.

When you download and use our mobile applications, we and our service providers may track and collect app usage data, such as the date and time the app on your device accesses our servers and what information and files have been downloaded to the app based on your device identifier.
