Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 22, 2026

The short version

Steeped in Japan is a static website. There are no accounts, no comments, and no newsletter yet. We do not ask for your name, email, or any other personal information to read this site.

What gets collected automatically

This site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like most hosting providers, Cloudflare processes standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested) to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. See the Cloudflare Privacy Policy for details.

If we add traffic analytics, we will use a privacy-respecting, cookieless tool and update this page to say so.

Affiliate links and third-party cookies

Some articles contain affiliate links. If you click one, the merchant or its affiliate network may set cookies in your browser to attribute the referral. Those cookies are governed by the merchant's own privacy policy, not ours. We never see who you are — only anonymous, aggregated referral statistics.

You can read more about which links are affiliate links on our Affiliate Disclosure page.

External links

Articles link to outside sites: producers, regional records, and shops. Once you leave this site, their privacy practices apply, not this policy.

Your rights

Since we hold no personal data about readers, there is nothing for us to delete or export. If you believe we hold something about you, contact us and we will sort it out.
