Last updated: October 24, 2026

The Korea Manual (“we”, “us”) operates the website thekoreamanual.com. This page explains what information we collect when you visit, how it is used, and the choices you have.

1. Information we collect

Information you send us. If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and the content of your message. We use it only to reply to you.
Automatically collected information. Like most websites, our server records standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit and the time of the visit. This data is used to keep the site secure and to understand which guides are useful.
Cookies. Cookies are small files stored by your browser. We use them for site functionality (for example, remembering your language) and for the advertising and analytics services described below.

2. Advertising (Google AdSense)

We may display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies — including the DoubleClick cookie — to show ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings. Third-party vendors may also use cookies to serve ads; you can opt out of some third-party cookies at aboutads.info.

3. Analytics

We may use analytics services (such as Google Analytics or Cloudflare Web Analytics) to measure traffic. These services collect data such as pages viewed, approximate location and device type. The data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.

4. Links to other sites

Our guides link to banks, government portals and other external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Please read their policies before submitting personal information.

5. How long we keep information

Emails are kept as long as needed to handle your request and then deleted. Server logs are kept for a limited period for security purposes.

6. Your rights

You can ask us to show, correct or delete personal information we hold about you by emailing [email protected]. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some features of the site may not work as a result.

7. Children

This site is not directed at children under 14, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
