Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 10, 2026

Tokyo Closing Bell (“we”, “this site”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what data is collected when you visit and how it is used.

Data we collect

  • Analytics. We may use Google Analytics (via Google Site Kit) to understand aggregate readership — pages viewed, approximate location, device type. This data is anonymized and never sold.
  • Advertising. If advertisements are served (e.g., Google AdSense), Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings.
  • Server logs. Standard web-server logs (IP address, user agent, timestamps) are retained briefly for security and abuse prevention.

What we do not collect

We do not require accounts, do not collect names or email addresses (comments are disabled site-wide), and do not process payments.

Cookies

Cookies are used only by the analytics and advertising services described above. You can block cookies in your browser settings without losing access to any content on this site.

Third-party links

Articles link to primary sources such as Japan Exchange Group and Nikkei Inc. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites.
