The visit counter
The small counter in the footer counts the same browser once per day in Korea Standard Time. A first-party cookie named degul_visit_day stores only that day’s date and expires at the next Korean midnight.
The database stores the total count and its last update time. It does not store a name, account, IP address, or browser type. The number is an approximate visit total, not an exact count of unique people.
Language preference
A visitor using a non-Korean browser may see a prompt for the English edition. Country and browser-language headers are checked only to decide whether to show that prompt and are not stored in the site database.
When you choose Korean or English, a first-party cookie named degul_language stores only that choice for up to one year. You can change it at any time with the language link.

Google AdSense may use cookies and process browser, device, approximate location, impression, and click information to provide and measure advertising. Where required, Google’s consent message controls ad-personalisation choices.
You can review your choices in Google Ads Settings and read how Google uses information from partner sites.
Advertising on Korean pages
Some Korean-language article pages may also display Kakao AdFit. Its advertising and measurement are handled under Kakao’s policies. The English articles do not currently include a Kakao AdFit slot.
External links
Source links open third-party websites, whose own privacy notices apply. The initial English articles do not contain paid product links. If an English article later includes one, the commercial relationship will be disclosed beside the link.
