Privacy Policy

Reveal Japan is a publication of editorial articles. We collect the minimum data needed to understand which articles serve readers and nothing else.

What we currently collect

Nothing on the server side.The site is statically generated. There is no login, no profile, no comment system, and no per-reader tracking on Reveal Japan’s own infrastructure.

Analytics (consent-gated)

Reveal Japan uses Google Analytics 4 to understand which articles serve readers — but only after you click Accept in the cookie banner. Until you accept, no GA4 scripts load and no data is collected. If you decline, GA4 stays off entirely. You can change your choice any time via Cookie Settings in the footer. We do not pass data to advertising networks.

Newsletter (currently inactive)

The newsletter form on the site is functional but not yet wired to a delivery provider. No subscriptions are being collected today. When the newsletter goes live, the form will start working and we will list the provider here.

What we do not collect

• No advertising trackers, no third-party advertising cookies.
• No fingerprinting beyond what GA4 needs to deduplicate sessions (when enabled).
• No selling of any reader data, ever.

Cookies

A single first-party preference is stored in your browser’s localStorage to remember your cookie banner choice. If analytics is later enabled and you accept it, GA4 will set its own first-party cookies under our domain. You can clear these any time via your browser settings or by revisiting the cookie banner via the footer link.

Affiliate links

There are currently zero affiliate links on the site. See Affiliate Disclosurefor the rules we’ll follow if any are added in the future.
