Fermata (“the site”, https://fermata.it.kr) respects your privacy. This page explains, plainly, what is collected and why. Last updated: September 1, 2026.
1. What we collect
There is no sign-up on this site, and we do not directly collect names, email addresses or other personally identifying information. Comments are disabled.
For traffic statistics, the following may be collected automatically:
- IP address (anonymised by Google Analytics)
- Browser type and version, operating system, device type
- Visit time, pages viewed, referring page
- Approximate location (country and city level)
2. How it is used
This data is used only to understand which articles are read, so the site can be improved. We do not identify or track individual readers, and we do not sell data to third parties.
3. Cookies and analytics
This site uses Google Analytics 4. Google stores cookies in your browser and transmits the collected information to its servers. See the Google Privacy Policy for how Google handles that data.
A cookie consent banner is installed, so you can choose whether analytics cookies are used. Declining does not restrict access to any content.
You may block or delete cookies in your browser settings. To opt out of Google Analytics entirely, use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
4. Advertising
No advertising is currently served on this site. If an advertising service such as Google AdSense is introduced later, the provider may use cookies to show interest-based ads. This policy will be updated with a revised date if that happens. You can manage Google ad cookies at Google Ad Settings.
5. External links
Articles on this site link to external sources — news outlets, regulatory filings, photo credits. This policy does not cover those sites; please refer to their own policies.
6. Retention
Visit data collected through Google Analytics is retained according to Google’s retention settings and deleted automatically thereafter. This site does not maintain a separate personal-data database.
7. Your rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data. Because this site stores no identifying information, most requests can be handled directly by clearing cookies in your browser or using the opt-out tool linked above.
8. Note on investment content
All content on this site is for information only and is not investment advice. Figures and interpretations are based on public sources available at the time of writing, and no warranty is given as to their accuracy or completeness. Investment decisions and their outcomes are the reader’s own responsibility.
9. Contact
For questions about this policy, please contact the site operator.
10. Changes
Any change to this policy will be posted on this page with a revised date.
