When this website is accessed, a record of the access is stored in our server in the form of an access log. An access log contains the IP address and port number of the computer from which the access is made, the type of the accessing browser, the date and time of the access, and, if the access to this website was made through a link in another website, the address of the website having the link.

On this website, web services of other companies may be used. Examples of such web services include Google AnalyticsTM and Google MapTM. In these Google web services, JavaScript and cookies issued by this website are used to cause the accessing browser to send to Google the information regarding the access to this website. Google thus collects information on the users' accesses to this website. (Click here for Google AnalyticsTM Terms of Service and here for Google MapTM Terms of Service.) If you do not wish Google’s web services to acquire your access information, please adjust your browser settings to prevent JavaScript execution.
