Information you provide
If you use the contact form, the site receives the name, email address, and message that you submit. This information is used to review and respond to your inquiry and to maintain reasonable records of editorial correspondence. It is not used to add you to a marketing list unless you separately choose to subscribe to one in the future.
Server logs
The web host may keep standard server logs for security, reliability, troubleshooting, and abuse prevention. These logs can include technical information such as an IP address, browser or device information, requested pages, referring pages, and timestamps.
Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager
This site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how readers use the site and Google Tag Manager to manage measurement tags. Google Analytics can collect information such as page views, session activity, approximate location, and browser or device information. Google states that Google Analytics 4 does not log or store individual IP addresses.
Google Analytics normally uses first-party cookies such as _ga and _ga_* to distinguish users and maintain session information. On this site, analytics storage is set to denied by default until you choose to allow analytics cookies through the cookie notice. You can change that choice later using “Cookie Settings” in the footer.

Cookie choices
Non-essential analytics cookies are not stored unless you choose “Allow analytics.” If you decline, the site keeps analytics storage denied. Your preference is stored locally in your browser so the site can remember your choice. Essential hosting or security technologies may still operate as needed to deliver the site.
Affiliate links
Some articles may eventually contain affiliate links. If you click one of those links, the retailer or affiliate network may receive technical information needed to attribute a referral and may use cookies or similar tracking technologies under its own privacy policy. Affiliate relationships will be disclosed clearly in relevant content as well as on the Affiliate Disclosure page.
Advertising
As of the effective date above, this site is not serving Google AdSense advertising. If advertising is enabled later, this policy and the site’s consent controls will be updated before those ads go live, including any additional disclosures or consent mechanisms required for readers in applicable regions.
External links
This site links to third-party websites for sources, products, cultural references, and other useful information. Their privacy practices are controlled by those third parties, not by The Japanese Vegan Table.
International processing
Services used by this site may process information on servers located outside your country. The privacy practices and legal protections that apply can vary by service and location.
Your choices and rights
You can decline analytics cookies using the site’s cookie notice or reopen the settings from the footer. Depending on where you live, applicable privacy law may also provide rights relating to access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection. Contact the site if you have a privacy request concerning information you submitted directly through the contact form.
Children
This site is a general-audience food and culture publication and is not directed to children.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when the site adds or removes services, changes its data practices, or begins monetization. The effective date at the top of this page will be revised when material changes are made.
