Privacy & Advertising

This page provides an English explanation of Y-bow’s privacy and advertising practices. The Japanese policy is also available. Please contact the site if you need clarification.

Information you provide

If you contact us or leave a comment, the site may receive the information you enter, such as your name, email address and message. Information is used to respond to requests, operate the site and improve its content. Please avoid including confidential medical, financial or identity information in a message.

Analytics and cookies

The site uses Google Analytics to understand traffic and improve the reader experience. Google services may use cookies and related technologies to collect information about visits and interactions. Cookies, device identifiers and usage information are not the same as a name, but may still relate to a user or device. You can manage cookies in your browser settings. Blocking them may affect some site features.

See how Google uses information from sites that use its services and the Google Analytics opt-out tool for additional information and choices.

Advertising and affiliate links

Y-bow uses Google AdSense and affiliate services, including Amazon Associates, A8.net and Moshimo Affiliate. Third-party advertising services may use cookies or other identifiers to show and measure ads based on visits to this and other websites. Ad availability and consent requirements can differ by location.

You can review Google’s advertising technology explanation and adjust choices through My Ad Center. Browser cookie controls are another option. A privacy policy or advertising preference link does not replace a required consent mechanism.

As an Amazon Associate, this site earns from qualifying purchases. Affiliate links can generate a commission for the site when a qualifying transaction occurs. Products and services are provided by the linked merchant; questions about a purchase should be directed to that merchant.

Requests and contact

The Japanese policy describes how the site handles personal information, requests for access, correction or deletion, and disclosure where consent or applicable law permits it. To ask about your information or this page, use the contact page (Japanese interface). Do not post personal information in a public comment to make such a request.

Content, links and updates

Articles are prepared with care, but facts, source documents and linked pages can change. Investment material is educational and does not provide personalized advice or guaranteed results. Copyright in original content is retained. Please identify the source when quoting and do not reproduce complete articles without permission.

Privacy information may be revised as services or requirements change. English explanation prepared October 11, 2026.
