Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 24, 2026

Information We Collect

We collect standard web analytics data including page views, referral sources, and device information to improve our site. We do not collect personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it (for example, through a contact form or newsletter signup).

Cookies

We use cookies for analytics, and for advertising if ads are shown. Google Analytics is loaded on every page with IP anonymization enabled; it sets cookies to measure aggregate site usage such as page views and referral sources.

You can block or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings, or opt out of Google Analytics across all websites with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Third-Party Services and Vendors

This site uses the following third-party services, which may set cookies and process data:

  • Google AdSense — serves advertising. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. See How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
  • Google Analytics 4 (GA4) — measures site usage with IP anonymization enabled. Data is processed by Google LLC under their Privacy Policy.
  • Google Fonts — delivers web fonts. Requests from your browser to fonts.googleapis.com may be logged by Google.
  • Cloudflare — hosts and delivers this site. Cloudflare may process network-level data (IP, user agent) for security and performance.

You can opt out of personalized Google advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or using the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out.

Affiliate Links

This site contains affiliate links to third-party services (hotels, transportation, tours). When you click these links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links are marked with rel="sponsored" for search engine transparency. We only recommend services we believe provide value to travelers visiting samurai museums in Japan.

Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

If you are in the EU, UK, or California, you have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you, and to withdraw consent at any time. Because we do not store personally identifiable information by default, most requests are fulfilled by the third-party services listed above under their own privacy policies.
