Privacy

Here is what happens to information when you visit AniNow.

TL;DR: AniNow does not collect, track, sell, or store personal information.

Last updated: September 2026

No profiles or tracking

AniNow has no accounts, sign-in or submission forms, comments, persistent favorites, first-party analytics, advertising trackers, or required cookies. You are not asked to provide personal information.

Your theme choice

If you use the theme switcher, your choice is stored only in your browser’s sessionStorage. It lasts for the current tab session and is not sent to AniNow. AniNow does not use localStorage for this preference.

Anime data requests

Your browser requests anime data from AniNow’s own /api/… endpoints. AniNow’s server-side code then contacts the official MyAnimeList API with a server-only Client ID; that credential is never sent to your browser.

Cover images

Anime cover images load directly from MyAnimeList’s image host. As with any direct image request, that host receives ordinary request information such as your IP address and browser details.

Links to MyAnimeList

MyAnimeList pages open only when you choose an external title link. Once you follow one, MyAnimeList’s own privacy practices apply.
