Cookie Policy
What cookies and local storage SeasonalAnime uses, why we use them, and how to manage your preferences.
We use minimal browser storage to make the site work and remember your preferences. No advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking.
What We Store in Your Browser
Instead of traditional cookies, we primarily use your browser's localStorage — a simple key-value store that never gets sent to servers automatically. Here's everything we store:
Essential (Always Active)
These are required for basic functionality and can't be turned off:
theme
Remembers whether you prefer dark or light mode so the page doesn't flash on load.
cookie_consent
Saves your cookie preferences so we don't ask you every time you visit.
Analytics (Your Choice)
If you click "Accept All" on the consent banner, we may use privacy-focused analytics to understand which features people use most. This data is anonymous — we see page view counts, not individual users. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your browser storage.
Third-Party Content
When you play a YouTube trailer on an anime detail page, YouTube may set its own cookies according to its privacy policy. We use YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com) to minimize this.
Managing Your Preferences
You have full control. You can change your consent choice using the banner at the bottom of any page, or simply clear your browser's localStorage through your browser settings to reset everything.
