Last updated: June 2026

Korea Plainly ("we", "our", or "this site") respects your privacy. This page explains, in plain language, what information is collected when you visit koreaplainly.com and how it is used.

Information we collect

We do not ask visitors to create an account or submit personal information to read articles. When you visit the site, standard technical information is automatically logged by our hosting provider and analytics service — including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring page, and the pages you view. This information is collected in aggregate and is used to understand how the site is being used and to improve it.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymous usage data (such as page views, country, device type, and time on page). Google Analytics uses cookies to do this. We do not use it to identify individual visitors. You can read Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

Advertising

This site may display advertising provided by Google AdSense and other third-party advertising vendors. These vendors may use cookies — including the DART cookie — to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites on the internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings page. You can also opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info. Google's advertising policies are available at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser. We and our partners (Google Analytics, Google AdSense) use cookies as described above. You can disable or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; doing so will not prevent you from reading the site, but some features and personalized ads may not work as intended.

If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address is stored by our email-service provider (Kit) and used only to send you the newsletter you signed up for. Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe link.

Third-party links

Articles on this site link to third-party websites (transit operators, restaurants, video platforms, etc.). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites; please review their own policies.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
