Privacy Policy

What is collected when you read Access Osaka, who else receives it, and how to stop it. The short version: very little, and almost none of it by us.

What we collect ourselves

Nothing that identifies you. We do not run accounts, we do not have a newsletter, and we do not ask for your details. The web server keeps ordinary access logs — the address of the page requested, the time, and a truncated network address — for security and for diagnosing faults.

What third parties collect

Advertising. This site shows ads served by Google. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure them, and may personalise them based on your previous browsing. You can review and change this at Google My Ad Center, and opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings.

Analytics. We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are read. It sets cookies and records a truncated address. We look at totals; we do not attempt to identify individual readers.

Affiliate links. Some pages carry links that pay us a commission if you book or buy. Those links are marked as sponsored and set cookies belonging to the partner. Following one tells them you came from us.

Cookies, and how to refuse them

Every cookie on this site is set by the third parties above rather than by us. Your browser can block or delete them, and the links above turn off personalisation without blocking anything. The site works fine either way.

Your rights

If you are in the UK, the EU or a jurisdiction with comparable law, you have rights of access, correction and erasure over personal data held about you. We hold none that identifies you, so in practice those requests belong with Google rather than with us; the links above are the direct route.

Children

This site is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect anything from them.

About what you read here. Everything on Access Osaka is general information and our own editorial opinion. We research carefully and we say when the evidence is unclear, but we can be wrong, things change, and no article can know your particular situation. Please do your own research and make your own judgement rather than treating anything here as the final word. Prices, products and specifications around the topics we cover change constantly, and what suits one person will not suit another. Check current details yourself, and where a decision involves real money, safety or something you cannot undo, it is worth confirming with a qualified professional before you act.
