Privacy Policy
Effective: August 6, 2026
FICUSLINK observes how the site is read and used through signals designed to remain close to anonymous. This policy explains those observation signals, language preferences, inquiries, AI interfaces, and data processing when Google advertising is enabled.
Site-use observation
GET requests to public pages and machine-readable endpoints may be recorded as passive signals in Cloudflare Analytics Engine. We use these signals in aggregate to understand content demand and service health.
- Recorded: request surface and resource ID, response status and type, processing time, page language, country and ASN, bot classification, and a limited referring-domain category
- Not recorded in the observation dataset: request bodies, raw IP addresses, full User-Agent strings, full referring URLs, or raw search queries
- FICUSLINK does not join names, email addresses, or Google advertising identifiers to its own observation data.
Language preference cookie
When you explicitly switch between Korean and English, the langpref cookie stores ko or en. This functional cookie remembers your language choice for up to one year and can be deleted in your browser settings at any time. Merely visiting the site does not create it.
AI search and feedback
The AI search and feedback endpoints process limited data for abuse prevention and aggregate outcome analysis.
- A search query may be processed to return results and used in a result cache for up to five minutes, but its raw text is not written to the passive-observation dataset.
- Raw IP addresses and User-Agent strings are not stored. They are immediately transformed with a periodically rotating salt into a hash used for short-term request limits and feedback aggregation. Rate-limit counters remain for about two minutes.
- Feedback may include a resource ID, success, failure, or timeout status, optional duration and cost, an event ID, a timestamp, and the hash. Input and output bodies are not recorded.
Email inquiries
If you contact us by email, we process the sender address and message to reply and keep necessary business records. Inquiry data is not joined to anonymous observation data.
Google AdSense advertising
FICUSLINK may display advertising provided by Google AdSense. On pages where Google ads are enabled, Google and participating advertising vendors may process cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or other identifiers to deliver and measure ads and prevent abuse.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this site or other sites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site or other sites on the Internet.
- Non-personalized ads may still use cookies or similar technologies for frequency capping, aggregate reporting, and abuse prevention.
- Where required by law or Google policy, a consent message provides choices about advertising data use.

External processing and separation
Site delivery and first-party observation use Cloudflare services. Google and participating advertising vendors process advertising data under their own policies. FICUSLINK does not sell its own anonymous observation data or join it with the identity of someone who contacts us or with Google advertising identifiers.
Your choices
You can delete or block cookies in your browser and manage personalized advertising in Google ad settings. Where a consent message appears, you can use it to accept or refuse advertising data uses. Because anonymous observation records do not retain a personal identifier, it may not be possible to locate, provide, or delete a record for a particular visitor.
