Privacy & Cookies

Overview

Nanban.pt is a static website about the Nanban period. It has no user accounts and no login. The only personal data it handles comes from two analytics services and an optional newsletter, all described below.

Analytics and cookies

To understand how the site is used and to improve it, Nanban.pt relies on two third-party analytics services. Both set cookies and run on every page:

• Google Analytics (Google Ireland Ltd.) measures aggregate traffic: which pages are viewed, approximate location, device and browser type, and the site that referred you.
• Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft Corporation) records anonymised on-page interaction — clicks, scrolls and mouse movement — and turns it into heatmaps and session replays that show how visitors move through a page.

Both are used for analytics only. Nanban.pt runs no advertising, does not sell your data, and does not use it to identify you personally. These analytics load as soon as a page opens; the cookie bar that appears is informational and does not block them. If you would rather not be measured, see Your choices below.

The cookie notice

The “this site uses cookies” bar is a notice, not a consent gate. When you dismiss it, that choice is saved in your browser’s local storage (under the key nanban-cookie-notice), not in a cookie, and is shared across the English, Portuguese and Japanese versions so the bar does not reappear.

Newsletter

If you subscribe to the newsletter, your email address is sent to Buttondown, the service that delivers it, and is used only to send Nanban.pt updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any newsletter email.

Your choices

• Block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
• Install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on to stop Google Analytics on every site you visit: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
• Use your browser’s private or incognito mode, which discards cookies when you close the window.

Disabling cookies does not affect your ability to read anything on this site.

Third-party services

These providers process the data described above under their own privacy policies:

• Google Analytics: policies.google.com/privacy
• Microsoft Clarity: privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement
• Buttondown (newsletter): buttondown.com/legal/privacy
