This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how it is safeguarded, and how we comply with South Korean data protection laws (PIPA) and international standards (GDPR / CCPA).
1. Log Files & Technical Analytics
Like all reputable news media publications, JJAN Korea utilizes standard server log files and privacy-conscious analytics tools. The data collected includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser user-agents, Internet Service Providers (ISP), referring/exit pages, date/time stamps, and on-site click paths. This technical information is used strictly to analyze readership trends, maintain server security, prevent malicious traffic, and optimize site loading speeds. Log data is never combined with personally identifiable information.

JJAN Korea uses cookies to store reader language preferences, track user sessions, and optimize content presentation. We partner with reputable third-party advertising vendors, including Google AdSense. Google utilizes cookies (such as the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve relevant advertisements to visitors based on prior visits to our site and other destinations across the web.
Readers may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads or through the Network Advertising Initiative at optout.networkadvertising.org.

We never sell, rent, or trade reader contact details with commercial third parties.
