Who We Are

Our website address is: http://okawarishitenecooking.com.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can view the Gravatar service privacy policy here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images that include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images on the site.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you can opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you won’t need to re-enter your information when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we’ll set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded once you close your browser.

When you log in, we set several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out of your account will remove these cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser, which only indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. This cookie expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you’ve visited that website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, particularly if you have an account and are logged into that website.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them for moderation.

For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators also have access to view and edit that information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, with exceptions for data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
