How bitesizekorea handles personal data, cookies, advertising, the forum and comments.
Last updated:
In short
You can read every article without signing up. When you post on the forum or in the comments, we store only what is needed to show the post and block spam. We never ask for your email, phone number or real name.
Data when you post
- Display name and post text: shown publicly. Do not include your own or anyone else's personal information.
- Hashed IP address: your IP address is turned into a one-way random code (it cannot be reversed) to limit spam and repeat posts. The original IP address is not stored.
- Delete key: when you post, your browser saves a random key (localStorage) so you can delete your own post. The server stores only a hash of that key.
- Cloudflare Turnstile: used to tell people from bots when posting. Cloudflare may process technical browser data for this purpose.
Posts are kept until you or a moderator deletes them. You can request deletion through the contact page. We process data under the applicable Korean law and, where it applies, the GDPR and similar laws in your country.
Hosting and security
The site is served through Cloudflare. To deliver content and keep the site secure, Cloudflare may process access data such as IP address and browser type.
Advertising
The site may show ads from Google AdSense, a third-party service.
- Google and third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google's Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendors' cookies at www.aboutads.info.
- How Google uses data is explained in Google's Privacy & Terms.
Affiliates
The site takes part in affiliate programs. When you click an affiliate link, the partner may use cookies to record the transaction.
Analytics
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views. Data such as page path, referrer, browser type and country is sent to Cloudflare. The tool does not use cookies and does not track you across other sites. SeeCloudflare's privacy policy.
