Cookie Policy

A plain-English look at cookies and similar technologies used when you browse KoreaHype.

Last updated: September 28, 2026

1. What counts as a cookie?

Cookies are small files websites or services place in your browser. Similar technologies include browser local storage, pixels and technical identifiers. They may be set by KoreaHype or by external services embedded in the site.

2. Why these technologies may be used

  • Essential and security: keeping the site running, protecting forms against spam and remembering necessary preferences.
  • Features you choose: MY KOREA saves your selected places in browser local storage on your device (including the key khSavedV2). If you turn on web-push alerts, a push preference and technical subscription record may be stored.
  • Analytics: WordPress.com/Jetpack and Google services, where enabled, may collect usage measurements to help us understand site performance.
  • Advertising: WordAds or other ad providers, if active, may use cookies and identifiers for ad delivery, measurement and, subject to applicable choices, personalization.
  • Embedded services: Google Maps loads content from Google and may process connection information and cookies when you open a page containing a map.

3. Providers and further information

These services may have their own retention and international-processing arrangements:

The exact cookies you see may vary by region, device, service settings and whether you interacted with a third-party feature.

4. Manage cookies and local data

Browser controls: you can delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Some necessary functionality may stop working if you block all storage.

MY KOREA: remove saved items individually in MY KOREA, or clear this site’s browser storage to reset the entire local list. Clearing it can also remove saved alert preferences.

Push alerts: opt out in MY KOREA or your browser notification settings.

Advertising choices: where a WordAds consent manager appears in your region, use its available consent/partner controls. You can also consult Google My Ad Center ↗. An informational link is not a substitute for a working consent banner where one is required.

5. Updates and contact

We review this page when our services change. For a privacy or cookie-related question, use the Contact & Privacy Requests page.

We do not treat visiting this policy page as consent to optional tracking. Relevant consent mechanisms are provided by the service/platform when configured, and some embedded providers may operate independently.
