Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information on kakikukeko (https://kakikukeko.com/, “the Site”), a multilingual portal providing information on Japanese-language proficiency exams.
Information We Collect
The Site currently has no account registration or login, so we do not collect information that directly identifies you, such as your name or email address.
We use Google Analytics to improve the Site, which may collect the following via cookies:
- Pages viewed, time spent, and referral source
- Device and browser type
- Approximate location based on IP address (not more precise than city level)
This information is processed statistically and is not used to identify you personally.
Cookies and Consent
We classify cookies as follows.
| Category | Purpose | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Core site functions (e.g., remembering language preference) | Always on |
| Analytics | Google Analytics usage measurement | Enabled only after consent (off by default) |
| Advertising | Reserved for future ad services | Not yet in use (policy will be updated with notice before introduction) |
A consent banner shown on first visit lets you choose whether to allow analytics cookies. You can change your choice anytime via the “Cookie settings” link in the footer. Core site functions work even if you decline.
Third-Party Services
- Google Analytics (Google LLC) — usage analytics. See Google’s Privacy Policy. You can opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
If we introduce advertising services such as Google AdSense in the future, we will update this policy and post advance notice on the Site.
Data Retention and International Transfer
Data collected via Google Analytics may be processed and stored on Google’s servers, including outside Japan, per Google Analytics’ standard retention settings (default: up to 14 months for event data).
Children
The Site is intended for a broad audience, including minors researching study/work options, but we do not knowingly collect personally identifying information from children.
