Cookie Policy
Last updated: September 16, 2026
This policy explains how Aniflare (aniflare.com) uses cookies and similar browser storage — only what we need to run the site and, where noted, improve it without advertising trackers.
1. Do we need cookie consent?
Yes, for non-essential storage. Essential cookies (such as sign-in session cookies) are required to operate accounts. Optional items — like saving your theme — run only if you choose Accept all in our cookie banner.
Choosing Essential only still lets the site work for sign-in and core features. Privacy-friendly page insights (described below) do not rely on optional cookies, so they may still run.
2. What we use
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Sign-in session cookies and security features needed to run the site. | Authentication session (httpOnly); CSRF / security tokens where used | Yes |
| Preferences | Remembers your theme choice between visits. | ff_theme in localStorage | No — consent |
| Site insights (no cookies) | Privacy-friendly page counts (popular pages and traffic) so we can improve Aniflare. Uses a cookieless beacon — not advertising, and does not read files you process in your browser. | Cloudflare Web Analytics or similar privacy-friendly provider | Always on (no cookie) |
| Functional (session) | Temporary browser storage while you use a tool — cleared when you close the tab. | Cached profile display name during sign-in (sessionStorage) | No — consent |
3. Site usage insights
We use a privacy-friendly analytics approach (such as Cloudflare Web Analytics) to see which pages are popular and how the site performs. It is designed not to set advertising cookies and does not open or inspect the files you process with our tools.
We previously considered Google Analytics; Aniflare does not load Google Analytics for advertising-style tracking. Aggregate insights help us improve the product for everyone.
4. Third-party requests
Most fonts are self-hosted. If you use the Sign PDF tool, we may load decorative handwriting fonts from Google Fonts (Caveat, Great Vibes) only for that feature — not site-wide. Those requests are subject to Google's policies.
Some tools let you paste an external image URL (for example Color Picker). That sends a request from your browser to the URL you provide; we do not proxy those files through our servers unless the tool description says otherwise.
5. How to change your choice
Clear site data for aniflare.com in your browser settings, or delete the ff_cookie_consent and ff_theme keys from localStorage. The cookie banner will appear again on your next visit.
