Privacy Policy

Our hosting provider records standard access logs (IP address, user agent, referring URL, timestamp). These are used for security and aggregate traffic analysis, and are not linked to individuals.

We use Google Analytics to understand traffic patterns. It uses cookies to collect anonymous usage data such as page views, session length, and referring sources. You can opt out via Google’s opt-out add-on.

We display advertisements via Google AdSense. AdSense may use cookies to show ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites. You can opt out of personalized ads via Google Ads Settings.

On the Japanese-language pages, we use a first-party cookie to remember which article categories and tags you read, so we can show a “recommended for you” section on the homepage. This cookie does not contain personally identifying information and can be deleted anytime from your browser settings.

This site contains affiliate links. When you click a link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links to Japan-based retailers are hidden on the English pages.
