Last Updated: July 25, 2025

At Tattoo Friendly Onsen, we respect your privacy. We use only a small number of cookies to keep the site working, measure traffic anonymously, and track affiliate links when you choose to click them. You can change or withdraw your consent anytime.

1 – Who we are

Tattoo Friendly Onsen (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates tattoofriendlyonsen.com to help travellers find tattoo-friendly hot-spring experiences in Japan.

2 – What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a site. They let a website remember your actions and preferences so you don’t have to re-enter them each time you return or move between pages.

3 – Why we use cookies

  • Strictly necessary – keep the site secure and working.
  • Functional – remember settings such as language or cookie choices.
  • Analytics – measure traffic via Plausible Analytics (no personal data, no cross-site tracking).
  • Advertising / Affiliate – track referrals when you click partner links (e.g. Booking.com). These cookies are set only after you click, so we can earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

We do not run display advertising or remarketing cookies. If that changes, we’ll update this notice before those cookies are set.
