This page explains what information Japanese Unscripted collects when you visit, why it’s collected, and what choices you have. If anything here is unclear, you can reach me at the address at the bottom of this page.
Who runs this site
Japanese Unscripted is an independent site written and operated by one person (Ken), based in Japan. It is not a company, and there is no team behind it.
What this site collects
Nothing, in most cases. There is no analytics software on this site. There is no advertising network, no comment system, no mailing list, and no way to create an account. I cannot see individual visits, how long you stayed, or what you clicked.
Search data. This site is registered with Google Search Console. Search Console reports how often pages from this site appeared in Google’s search results and which search terms led to them. That data is collected by Google as part of its search service — nothing is installed on this site to gather it, and what I see is aggregated. It tells me that a page was shown in search results, not who saw it.
Server logs. Like every website, the hosting provider records standard access information such as IP address, browser type, and the pages requested. This is used for security and troubleshooting. I do not analyse these logs to build any picture of individual visitors.
Email. If you write to me, I receive your email address and whatever you choose to put in the message. I use it to reply to you and nothing else.
Cookies
A cookie is a small file stored by your browser.
This site sets no cookies of its own. I checked this directly rather than assuming it: loading the site in a clean browser produces zero cookies from japaneseunscripted.com. There is no tracker, no ad network, and no account system that would require one. Nothing about your visit is stored in your browser by me.
Affiliate cookies are the exception, and they are not set by this site. When you click an affiliate link, the service you land on may set a cookie in your browser to record where you came from. That happens on their domain, under their control. It is explained in the next section.
Because this site sets no cookies, there is no consent banner here and nothing for you to opt out of. You can still block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time, and everything on this site will continue to work.
Affiliate links
Some articles on this site contain affiliate links. If you click one and later sign up or make a purchase, I may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. Where an article contains affiliate links, this is disclosed at the top of that article.
When you click an affiliate link, the service you visit may place a cookie in your browser to record that you arrived from this site. That cookie is set and controlled by the service, not by me. I do not receive your name, email address, or payment details from these services.
Affiliate relationships do not determine what appears on this site. Services are included because they are relevant to the topic, and their limitations are described alongside their strengths. Some services covered here have no affiliate relationship at all.
For details on how each service handles your data, see their own privacy policies.
External links
Articles on this site link to other websites. Once you follow a link, you are on that site and subject to its policies, not this one. I have no control over how other sites collect or use data.
Your choices
You can read everything on this site without providing any personal information, and without accepting anything. There is no form to fill in and no banner to dismiss.
The only information connected to you that could exist here is server log data and any email you have sent me. If you want to know what that consists of, or want it deleted, email me and I will handle it.
Children
This site is written for adult language learners and is not directed at children under 13. I do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page will be updated. Substantive changes — for example, adding analytics or any other kind of tracking — will be noted here rather than made silently.
