The Anime Knowledge Codex

Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information AniCodex collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. AniCodex is an independent anime knowledge site. You do not need an account to read it, and we never ask for your name, address or payment details.

What we collect

We collect nothing directly ourselves. The data described below is handled by two Google services that run on every page, Google Analytics 4 and Google AdSense, plus anything you choose to send us by email.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-V14N5VHCSK) to understand aggregate traffic. It sets first-party cookies such as _ga and _ga_* and records which pages you view, how you arrived, your device and browser, and an approximate location derived from your IP address. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses. We only ever see reports about groups of visitors, never about you personally.

Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display ads on AniCodex.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
  • You can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices or, in Europe, at youronlinechoices.eu.

How Google uses information from sites that use its services is described in Google's partner sites policy.

Consent in Europe

If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, a consent message from Google's certified consent management platform asks what you allow before advertising and analytics cookies are set. Your choice is recorded and passed on to Google and its ad partners.

Cookies and storage you may see

  • Analytics cookies set by Google Analytics 4, described above.
  • Advertising cookies set by Google and its ad partners through googlesyndication.com and doubleclick.net, used to select ads and limit how often you see the same one.
  • Your theme preference, stored in your browser's local storage so the site stays in light or dark mode. It never leaves your device and is never sent to us.

If you email us

When you write to us we keep your message and address so that we can reply. We do not add you to any mailing list and we do not share it.

Children

AniCodex is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Your choices

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can use the opt-out links above at any time. To ask what data relates to you, or to request its deletion, contact hello@anicodex.com and we will pass the request on to Google where the data sits with them.

Changes to this policy

If the services we use change, we update this page and the date below.
