This page describes what happens to data when you visit Doujin Picks. It describes what the site actually does — not a generic template.

What this site collects directly
Nothing. There are no accounts, no sign-ups, no newsletter, and no contact form that stores what you type. The site does not ask you for your name, your email address, or anything else.
Analytics
The site uses Google Analytics 4 to count visits. This sets cookies in your browser and sends Google information about your visit, including your approximate location (derived from your IP address), your browser and device, which pages you opened, and how you arrived.
I use this to answer one question: is anyone actually finding this site, and through what. I do not attempt to identify individual visitors, and the reports I look at are aggregate counts.
You can prevent this entirely with Google’s opt-out browser add-on, with your browser’s tracking protection, or with any standard content blocker. Nothing on this site breaks if you do.
Third parties your browser contacts
Loading a page here causes your browser to make requests to a small number of other companies. Each of them can see your IP address and the fact that you requested something.
- DLsite (img.dlsite.jp) — cover images are loaded from DLsite rather than stored here. This is deliberate: no artwork is hosted on this server.
- Google (googletagmanager.com) — the analytics script described above.
- WordPress.org — emoji and standard resources included by the publishing software.
Google Translate is contacted only if you press the “Translate this synopsis” button on a work page. That button opens Google Translate in a new tab and passes it the Japanese text. Nothing is sent unless you press it, and this site does not keep a copy of the result.
Affiliate links
Links to DLsite are affiliate links. When you follow one, you pass through DLsite’s own redirect service, which records that the visit came from this site so that any purchase can be credited here. DLsite sets its own cookies at that point, under its own privacy policy, not mine.
What I receive from DLsite is a count of clicks and a count of sales. I am not told who you are or what you bought.
Cookies, in one place
- Analytics cookies — set by Google Analytics, as described above
- Affiliate cookies — set by DLsite when you follow a link there
- Everything else — none. This site sets no cookies of its own for advertising or personalisation
Age
This site catalogues adult material and is intended for adults only. It links to a store that requires you to confirm your age. Please leave if you are not old enough to be here under the law where you live.
Data I keep
Beyond the aggregate analytics described above, I hold no personal data about visitors. There is no database of readers to export, correct, or delete, because one was never created.
If you want the analytics record of your own visits removed, contact Google — I have no ability to isolate or delete an individual visitor’s data from within their reports.
Changes
If what the site does changes, this page changes with it, and the date at the top is updated. I will not quietly add tracking and leave this page as it was.
