Next Anime Season (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates https://nextanimeseason.com. This page explains what information we collect when you visit the site, how it is used, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to read the site. The information we receive falls into three groups:
- Automatically collected data. Like most websites, our hosting provider and analytics tools record standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages visited and time spent on the site.
- Comments. If you leave a comment we collect the name, email address and website you enter, the comment text, and your IP address and browser user-agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized hash of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it; the Gravatar privacy policy applies. Your comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so follow-up comments can be recognised automatically.
- Information you send us. If you contact us directly, we keep the message and any details you include so we can reply.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. We and our partners use them for the following purposes:
- Functional cookies — remembering your name and email if you leave a comment, and keeping you logged in if you have an account.
- Analytics cookies — Google Analytics uses cookies to help us understand how visitors use the site (which pages are popular, how people arrive here). This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
- Advertising cookies — see the Advertising section below.
You can delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site work.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
We display ads served by Google AdSense to support the site. Google and its partners use cookies — including the DoubleClick DART cookie — to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other websites on the internet. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your browsing history.
You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info. For more information on how Google uses data when you use our site, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to measure traffic and understand which content is useful. Google Analytics collects information such as pages visited, time on page, device and approximate location (derived from IP address). You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles may include embedded content such as YouTube trailers, tweets or images. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you had visited the other website: those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking and monitor your interaction with the embedded content.
Links to other sites
We link to official anime websites, streaming services, publishers and news sources. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to read their policies.
How we use information
- To operate, maintain and improve the site and its content.
- To display and measure advertising that funds the site.
- To detect and prevent spam and abuse.
- To respond when you contact us.
We do not sell your personal information.
Data retention
Server logs and analytics data are kept in aggregated form. Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely unless you ask us to remove them.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU/UK or the CCPA in California), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. If you have left comments, you can request an export of the personal data we hold about you or ask that we erase it, except for data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes. To make a request, contact us using the details on our About Us page.
Children’s privacy
The site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a new “last updated” date.
