Cookie Policy

Last updated: 1 June 2026 · AnimeRadar Pro UG (haftungsbeschränkt)

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — for example, whether you have previously dismissed a consent notice — and can be used to analyse how visitors use the site.

This policy explains specifically which cookies animeradarpro.com uses, why we use them, and how you can manage them.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the Site to function correctly. They cannot be switched off. They do not store any personally identifiable information.

Cookie name	Purpose	Duration
`animeradarpro_cookie`	Stores your cookie consent decision (accept or decline optional cookies) so we do not ask again on subsequent visits.	12 months

2.2 Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how readers find and navigate the Site. This helps us improve the editorial experience — for example, by identifying which types of coverage readers find most useful. These cookies are only placed if you accept optional cookies via our consent banner.

Cookie name	Purpose	Duration
`_pk_id.*`	Identifies a unique visitor for analytics purposes (self-hosted Matomo, no data sent to third parties).	13 months
`_pk_ses.*`	Tracks the current browsing session (self-hosted Matomo).	30 minutes

Our analytics implementation anonymises IP addresses before storage. We do not share analytics data with third parties, and the analytics tool runs on our own server infrastructure within the EU.

3. Cookies We Do Not Use

AnimeRadar Pro does not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or any third-party remarketing tools. We do not embed social media widgets that place third-party cookies. We do not sell or share your browsing behaviour with advertisers.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

4.1 Through our consent banner

When you first visit the Site, a banner asks you to accept or decline optional analytics cookies. Your choice is stored in the animeradarpro_cookie cookie for 12 months. You can change your preference at any time by clearing this cookie and reloading the page, which will trigger the banner again.

4.2 Through your browser

Most browsers allow you to view, block, and delete cookies through their settings. Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites. Instructions for common browsers:

Chrome: Settings › Privacy and security › Cookies and other site data
Firefox: Settings › Privacy & Security › Cookies and Site Data
Safari: Preferences › Privacy › Manage Website Data
Edge: Settings › Cookies and site permissions › Manage and delete cookies

4.3 Do Not Track

Our Site respects the Do Not Track (DNT) browser signal. If your browser sends a DNT header, we will not place analytics cookies regardless of your consent banner choice.

5. Legal Basis

Strictly necessary cookies are placed on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a functional website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Analytics cookies are placed only on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if we introduce new cookies or change how we use existing ones. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Significant changes will be communicated via the Site.
