Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
When you visit our website, we may place cookies on your device to facilitate various functionalities. These are tiny data files that serve several purposes:
- Comments: If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for up to one year.
- Analytics: We use cookies to understand how visitors interact with our site. This data helps us to improve our content and overall user experience. For this, we use Google Analytics, which collects anonymous information such as the number of site visitors and most popular pages.
- Advertisements: We may display ads on our site using third-party services, like Google Ads. These services may use cookies to show you targeted advertisements based on your browsing history or interests.
- Affiliate Marketing: Some links on our site are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, we will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase. Cookies are used to track this activity for a period defined by the affiliate program.
- User Experience: We may use cookies to remember your viewing preferences (e.g., language settings, layout preferences) to enhance your user experience on our site.
If you wish to disable cookies, you can do so through your individual browser settings. However, some features on our site may not function properly if cookies are disabled.
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 in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
At Korean Dream Life, your privacy is important to us, but there are some circumstances where we do need to share your data with third parties:
Newsletter Service: If you opt to sign up for our newsletter, we’ll store your email address, and possibly other information like your name, using ConvertKit, a third-party newsletter service. ConvertKit’s privacy policy can be found here.
Analytics: We use Google Analytics to help us understand website traffic and webpage usage. Google Analytics does not identify individual users or associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. For more information, check out Google’s Privacy Policy.
Ad Networks: We display ads on our website using third-party services, such as Google Ads. These services may collect data and use cookies for ad personalization and measurement.
You may encounter an additional GDPR compliance pop-up related to Google Ads when you visit our site. This is to ensure we are meeting privacy regulations and to offer you the ability to opt-in or opt-out.
Affiliate Programs: We participate in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may get paid commissions on editorially chosen products purchased through our links to retailer sites. The data tracking for this is carried out by the respective programs and is subject to their privacy policies.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Caching
This site utilizes caching in order to facilitate a faster response time and better user experience. Caching potentially stores a duplicate copy of every web page that is on display on this site. All cache files are temporary, and are never accessed by any third party, except as necessary to obtain technical support from the cache plugin vendor. Cache files expire on a schedule set by the site administrator, but may easily be purged by the admin before their natural expiration, if necessary. We may use QUIC.cloud services to process & cache your data temporarily. Please see https://quic.cloud/privacy-policy/ for more details.
