Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 17, 2026

Anime Picker ("we", "us", the "site") is a free tool for browsing and filtering anime recommendations. This policy explains what data the site touches when you use it, in plain language.

The short version

Anime Picker doesn't have user accounts, doesn't ask you to sign up, and doesn't require any personal information to use the picker, the filters, or the wheel. There's nothing to leak because there's nothing collected beyond what's described below.

What's stored on your device

Anime Picker stores two things in your browser'slocalStorage: your light/dark theme preference, and the list of titles you've marked "Watched" if you use that feature. Both stay on your device, are never transmitted to us, and you can clear them at any time from your browser settings.

Server & hosting logs

Like virtually every website, the infrastructure that serves Anime Picker (our hosting provider and CDN) automatically logs standard technical data for security and reliability purposes, things like IP address, browser type, and request timestamps. We don't access this data for tracking or profiling; it exists at the infrastructure level and rolls off on the provider's normal retention schedule.

Analytics & cookies

Anime Picker uses Google Analytics (GA4) to understand aggregate traffic, like which pages get visited and roughly how many people are using the site. It does not load until you accept the cookie banner shown on your first visit; declining, or closing the banner without choosing, means it never loads on your device. You can change your mind at any time by clearing the cookie-consent value for this site in your browser settings, which brings the banner back on your next visit. Once accepted, Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser and may collect information such as your IP address (used only to derive approximate location and then not retained in identifiable form), device and browser type, pages viewed, and how you arrived at the site. We don't use this data to identify you individually, and we don't run any advertising cookies or cross-site tracking pixels. SeeGoogle's Privacy Policyfor how Google handles this data, andGoogle Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-onto opt out.

Third-party links

Anime titles and recommendations may link out to third-party streaming or information sites. Once you leave animepicker.com, that site's own privacy policy applies. We have no control over, and no visibility into, how third parties handle your data.

Children's privacy

Anime Picker does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. Since no personal information is collected in the first place, this is true by design rather than by active filtering.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes in a way that affects what data is collected or how it's used, we'll update the "last updated" date above. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the revised policy.
