Privacy Policy

Information we receive

This site is delivered through Cloudflare. When you visit, information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you view may be processed by Cloudflare to deliver the site and keep it secure.

Analytics

To understand how the site is used and improve it, we may use the following services.

① Cloudflare Web Analytics: cookie-free statistics. It counts the pages viewed, referrers, country, device and browser type and page speed, without identifying individuals.

② Google Analytics (GA4; operated by Google LLC, USA): loaded only if you choose “Accept” in the notice at the bottom of the page. If you accept, cookies (such as _ga) are stored in your browser, and the page URL (without anything after ? or #), the page title, the time, the referrer, browser and device type, approximate region and a cookie identifier are sent to Google. The only purpose is analyzing how the site is used. Google does not store IP addresses, and we do not use Google Signals or ad personalization. We also send that you clicked an external link, a share button, played a trailer or opened an episode, with details such as the destination domain (never any text you typed). If you choose “Decline”, or until you choose, Google Analytics is not contacted and no cookies are set.

Your choice is stored in your browser (localStorage key oc_consent) and can be changed or withdrawn at any time from “Analytics settings” at the bottom of the page (withdrawing also deletes the Google Analytics cookies). How Google handles data is governed by Google’s policy (https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites).

③ Google Search Console: a service for the operator to check how the site appears in search results; it does not collect information about visitors.

None of this analytics identifies individual visitors.

Third-party content

Title artwork is loaded directly from AniList’s servers (s4.anilist.co). When you view a page, information such as your IP address may therefore be sent to them.

On game pages, artwork and ranking data is loaded directly from Steam’s servers (Valve Corporation; cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com and api.steampowered.com). Information such as your IP address may be sent to them at that time as well.

On VTuber pages, channel images are loaded directly from YouTube’s servers (yt3.ggpht.com). The schedule data itself is fetched once a day by this site from Holodex and built into the page; your browser does not connect to Holodex when you view it.

On pages for past titles and on list pages, your browser also connects to AniList’s API (graphql.anilist.co) to get the artwork information. Information such as your IP address may be sent to them at that time as well. The artwork information (title ID and image URL) is kept in your browser (localStorage) for up to 30 days and is not sent to our server.

On title pages, your browser connects to the same AniList API (once per page) to get the synopsis, cast, staff, trailer, official links and per-episode streaming links. What it receives is kept in your browser (localStorage) for up to 3 days and is not sent to our server.

A trailer connects to YouTube (Google; the privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com) only when you press “Play trailer”; until then there is no connection. The share buttons open the posting screen of X, Bluesky or LINE only when you press them. We do not load any external sharing scripts.

Title search loads the search data (a list of title names) into your browser and searches on your own device. The words you type are not sent to our server.

Reactions (thumbs up / down)

On title pages you can vote anonymously ("Recommend" / "Not for me"). When you vote, a random anonymous ID is stored in your browser (localStorage) and sent with your vote. The server stores only a hash of that ID and your vote, and no information that identifies you.

To prevent spam and abuse we keep a hash of your IP address and a request count for up to about two hours. The data is stored in Cloudflare’s database (D1).

Comments

When you post in the comment section of a title page, your nickname (optional), your comment and the time of posting are stored and shown publicly on the site. Please do not enter your real name, email address or similar details.

We also store a hash of the anonymous random ID kept in your browser (localStorage). It is used only to let you delete your own comments. Your nickname is also kept in your browser so you do not have to type it again.

We use Cloudflare Turnstile to stop bots when you post. To make that decision, information such as your IP address and browser details is sent to Cloudflare.

To check comments automatically before they are published, we send the comment text and nickname to the Anthropic API (Claude). This is done only for that check, and we do not store the text of comments that were not published. How Anthropic handles data is governed by its own policies.

To prevent spam and abuse we keep a hash of your IP address and a request count for up to about two hours. If you report a comment, a hash of your IP address is kept for as long as that comment remains, to prevent duplicate reports.

For the posting rules, see the Terms of Use. To have a comment removed, use its “Delete” button (from the browser that posted it) or the contact address below.

Ads and external links

There are currently no ads. If we later use an ad service such as Google AdSense, cookies may be used to serve ads. We will update this policy and explain how to opt out when that happens.

How external sites (such as AniList and streaming services) handle your information is governed by their own policies.
