Privacy & cookies

Last updated: October 19, 2026

AniRadar (aniradar.net) is a free tool to identify an anime and see where it is available to watch in your country. This page explains plainly what happens with your data. There is no sign-up, there are no accounts, and we do not sell data.

1. Controller and contact

Site owner: the holder named in the Legal notice. For any privacy question or request: [email protected].

2. What data AniRadar handles

• We do not store your searches on our servers. What you type or the image you upload goes straight from your browser to the services listed in section 4.
• Technical connection data. The site is served through Cloudflare (hosting, DNS and delivery network). Cloudflare processes your IP address and browser technical data to deliver and protect the page against attacks, and may produce aggregate statistics. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.
• Availability mini-server. To find out where an anime is available in your country, your browser asks a small service we run (Cloudflare Workers) with the title, your country and your language. That service queries JustWatch and returns the result. It does not request or store personal data; Cloudflare may keep technical request logs.

3. Storage on your device (localStorage)

AniRadar stores in your own browser, and only there, your preferences (language, country, animation settings), your “My list”, recently viewed anime and a temporary cache for faster loading. This data never leaves your device and is not used to track you. You can erase it at any time from Settings → “Clear cache” or by clearing the site’s data in your browser. It is strictly necessary for the site to work, so it does not require consent.

The site also installs a service worker so it can open offline; it stores copies of the page itself, icons and fonts.

4. Third-party services your browser connects to

• AniList (graphql.anilist.co, anilist.co): anime pages, images, calendar and your public list if you import it. It receives the text you search for.
• trace.moe: scene recognition. If you upload a screenshot or paste its URL, the image or its URL is sent to trace.moe.
• JustWatch, through our mini-server: availability by country and localized trailers.
• Google: machine translation of synopses (the synopsis text is sent, not your data), Google Fonts typefaces and, optionally, Gemini (see below).
• YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com): trailers play in YouTube’s enhanced-privacy player only when you press play or open a trailer; YouTube may receive your IP and playback data.
• unpkg.com: interface icons.
• Gemini (optional). Only if you enable AI in Settings with your own Google key. The key is stored only in your browser and your queries are sent to Google with it.

Each service has its own privacy policy and acts as an independent controller. When your browser connects, these services see your IP address.

5. Advertising & cookies

This site may show Google AdSense ads. When ads are active, Google and its partners may use cookies and identifiers to serve ads and measure their performance. Ads are shown discreetly, labelled “Advertising”, and never over the main content.

• In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, personalized ads are shown only if you accept them in Google’s consent panel. You can change your choice at any time with the “Manage consent” link in the footer.
• You can manage your Google ad preferences at adssettings.google.com and see how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
• You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some ad features may stop working.

6. Legal basis

Providing the service you request (performance), keeping it secure (legitimate interest) and, for personalized ads and non-essential cookies, your consent.

7. Your rights

You can exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction and portability by writing to [email protected]. Because AniRadar does not keep identifiable personal data on its own servers, there is usually nothing to manage; rights over data processed by Cloudflare, Google or other services are exercised with them. If you believe your rights are being infringed, you can complain to your local data protection authority (in Spain, the AEPD).

8. Children

The site is not directed at children under 14 and does not knowingly collect their data.

9. Changes

If something changes (for example, a new provider), this page and its date will be updated.
