Privacy

CapsuleVia Japan has no user accounts, newsletter signup or contact forms. Google Analytics is optional and starts only if you allow it.

The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may process technical request information to deliver and secure the site.

Site performance measurement

The hosting service also adds Cloudflare Web Analytics to public pages. It measures page visits and performance, such as loading speed. Cloudflare describes this service as cookie-free and says it does not track individual visitors across customer sites. See Cloudflare Web Analytics and its data collection explanation for provider details. This is separate from the calculator inputs described below.

Optional Google Analytics

If you allow analytics, Google Analytics may use cookies and collect page visits, interactions with the planning tool, and clicks on affiliate links. Google Analytics may record page URLs and outbound link destinations. Our custom events send only the planner type or affiliate destination domain, never calculator amounts, checklist choices or plan notes. Google may process this information on its systems. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can decline before it loads or change your choice here: Change analytics choice.

Affiliate and commercial links

Some outbound retailer links may be affiliate links. They are clearly disclosed near the link and marked as sponsored in the page code. When you follow an affiliate link, the destination retailer or affiliate network may use cookies or similar identifiers on its own site to attribute a purchase or other qualifying action. CapsuleVia Japan does not receive your payment details or retailer account credentials. If you allow our optional Google Analytics, we may record only the affiliate destination domain as an outbound-click event; we do not send the purchase amount or the contents of your cart.

Photographs

Photographs and illustrations shown in these guides are served from our domain. Opening a photograph's source or licence link takes you to that external website.

Planning tools

Calculator inputs and checklist selections are handled in your browser. These tools do not send your entered amounts or checklist selections to a server or save them in local storage. Your analytics choice is stored in this browser; if you allow analytics, Google may set cookies. Reloading the page clears the tool state.

Shopping fieldbook

Fieldbook notes, comparison entries and check answers remain in the page and clear when it reloads. This tool does not send these entries to a server or save them in local storage. Copy and download work only when you request them; keep the resulting note yourself if you want to use it later.

Keeping a plan

A plan summary is created locally when you request it. The Copy plan button writes that summary to your clipboard only when you press it. If you paste it into another app or save a printed copy, that app or device controls the saved copy.
