Last updated: October 9, 2026
Information we process
JapanMetrics does not provide account registration. When you use the contact form, we process the name, reply email address, subject and message you submit. Our hosting provider may also process standard technical logs such as IP address, browser type, requested URL, date and time for delivery, security and troubleshooting.
Google Analytics
When enabled, Google Analytics 4 uses identifiers and cookies or similar technologies to measure page views, navigation and interactions such as comparisons, rankings, source links and affiliate links. We use aggregated reports to improve content and usability. Google may process this information under its own terms and privacy policy. You can use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on ↗.
Advertising and cookies
When advertising is enabled, third-party vendors including Google may use cookies to serve and measure ads. Google and its partners may select ads based on visits to this site or other sites. You can manage personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings ↗. Where required, a consent message will be shown before advertising cookies are used.
Affiliate links
Some links may be affiliate links. If you complete a purchase after following one, JapanMetrics may receive a commission. Clicks may be measured, but prices and purchase decisions are handled by the external provider. See our advertising and affiliate disclosure →.
External services
Links to official statistics and other external sites are governed by those services' policies. We do not control their content, security or data handling.
Your choices
You can restrict or delete cookies through your browser settings and use the Google controls linked above. Blocking cookies may affect some optional features but the published statistics remain available.
Contact form
Contact submissions are used to reply and handle the enquiry. Anti-spam controls process the submission time, answer to a simple challenge, hidden bot field and network address for short-term rate limiting. Do not submit sensitive personal information. Use the contact form →.
Updates
We may revise this policy when services or legal requirements change. The revision date will be updated here.
