Cookie policy

This site sets no cookies at all until you make a choice in the consent banner, and sets no advertising or tracking cookies under any circumstances. There are exactly three categories, and only one of them involves cookies in the network sense.

Strictly necessary

One entry, and it is not a cookie in the network sense — it is stored locally in your browser and never sent to us.

Name	Where	Purpose	Lifetime
cookie-consent	localStorage	Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics, so the banner does not reappear on every page	Until you clear site data

We rely on this without consent because it exists only to record your consent decision, which is the one thing a consent mechanism is permitted to store.

Functional

One entry, also stored locally and also never sent to us.

Name	Where	Purpose	Lifetime
watch-history	localStorage	Remembers which episode you last opened, so the Continue watching row on the home page can take you back there	Until you clear it or clear site data

It holds nothing but a series identifier, an episode number, and a timestamp, for at most twelve series. There is no name, no account, no device fingerprint, and no identifier that would let us or anyone else recognise you — the site has no accounts. The list never leaves your browser: the home page reads it locally and asks our server only for the cover art and title of those series, which is public information already on every series page. We keep no record of what it asked for.

Clear it whenever you like with the Clear link beside the Continue watching row. Clearing site data in your browser removes it too. If you never watch anything, it is never created, and the row never appears.

Analytics — only if you accept

If you accept, Google Analytics 4 loads and sets the cookies below. If you decline or dismiss the banner, the analytics script is never loaded and none of these are created.

Name	Purpose	Lifetime
_ga	Distinguishes one browser from another so a visit can be counted once	2 years
_ga_<container-id>	Keeps analytics session state	2 years

These tell us which pages people arrive on and which series get watched, in aggregate. They do not carry your name, email, or any identifier you gave us — there is nothing to give, since the site has no accounts. Details of what Google receives are in the Privacy policy.

What we do not use

• No advertising or remarketing cookies.
• No social media pixels or share-button trackers.
• No cross-site tracking, no data brokers, no fingerprinting.
• No cookies on the video player beyond what the browser itself needs to stream.

Changing your mind

Use the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page. Declining afterwards stops the analytics script from loading on your next page view; you can also delete existing cookies through your browser's site-data settings.

Blocking all cookies in your browser also works and will not break anything here — the site is fully usable with cookies disabled.
