Privacy policy
Daily Discoveries publishes travel, economy and digital-life information. This page explains access logs and how advertising services use information. Effective date: 15 September 2026.
Blog search and link copying
Search matches article titles and text in your browser. Search terms appear in page URLs and may be included in server access logs or page information sent with ad requests when you visit those URLs. Clicking the copy-link button writes only the current article URL to your device’s clipboard.
Information you enter
We currently offer no registration, comments or contact forms, and do not ask you to enter your name, telephone number or email address.
Server access logs
To deliver pages, investigate errors and protect the service, the web server may record IP addresses, access times, requested URLs, response statuses, browser information and referring page addresses. Logs are configured to rotate daily, retaining 14 previous log files before deleting them in sequence. Actual retention may vary with rotation timing and traffic.
Kakao AdFit and cookies
This site requests ads from Kakao AdFit. Actual ads depend on media review and ad availability. Ad requests may transmit IP addresses, browser and device details, and visited-page information to Kakao and its advertising partners. Cookies and similar technologies may be used to deliver ads, prevent abuse and measure performance.
See the Kakao Business privacy policy for information handling and user rights. We retain our existing Google AdSense account and unit configuration, but these pages currently do not request AdSense ads.
Managing ads and cookies
You can delete or block cookies in your browser’s privacy settings. Refer to the policy above for privacy enquiries and ways to exercise your rights with Kakao. Restricting cookies does not necessarily stop general ads from appearing.
Advertising and editorial content
Advertisements are labelled “Advertisement”. External websites reached through ads have their own privacy policies. If our services or information handling change, we will update this page and its effective date.
View counts, likes and anonymous identification
Views and likes are stored in Google Firebase Cloud Firestore. Opening an article stores a Firebase anonymous authentication identifier in your browser and records the article’s last view time, like state and processing time. This is not registration with a name or email. A view is counted once per identifier every 24 hours, likes can be removed, and language editions share article totals. Only aggregate counts are public; individual visitor records are not public.
Anonymous identifiers and reactions are stored for as long as needed to operate these features. Clearing browser storage or using another device may create a separate visitor and lose access to an earlier like state. Google processes connection information when Firebase is used; see the Firebase privacy information.
Optional visit and click analytics
If you allow analytics, Google Analytics measures page visits, article reads, like changes, menus, categories, pagination, language selection, contents and chart controls, copied links, outbound and contact-link clicks, search submissions and reading progress. We send article identifiers, language, interface area and external-link domains, but not search text, email addresses, telephone numbers or typed sentences. Analytics page URLs exclude query strings and fragments, and referrers are limited to their origin.
Your analytics choice is stored in the browser. Analytics does not start before permission, and you can change the choice through Analytics settings in the footer. Withdrawal stops subsequent analytics collection and removes this blog’s analytics cookies. For previously collected data and your rights, see the Google privacy policy and the contact below. This choice is separate from Kakao advertising settings.
