Privacy policy

This policy describes what this version of stealananimepack.com actually loads. It was updated on 9 November 2026. Questions go to [email protected].

Who we are

Steal an Anime Pack Guide publishes stealananimepack.com. There is no account system and no payment on this site. The controller for the first-party storage described here is the site operator, reachable at [email protected].

What loads, and when

This site loads analytics, session recording and advertising by default. A visitor who has never made a choice is treated as having granted it: Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra start on the first page view, before any button is pressed. The cookie banner still appears so the choice is visible and can be withdrawn. Choosing Reject reloads the page to stop advertising and recording, stores that refusal for 180 days, and keeps Google Analytics running; the footer link Cookie settings opens the banner again so the choice can be changed.

• Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC, measurement ID G-MZB7JR1YW3) counts page views and records coarse device, browser, referrer and approximate-location data. It is loaded from googletagmanager.com and reports to google-analytics.com.
• Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft Corporation, project zarnqu95hj) builds heatmaps and session replays: clicks, scroll depth, pointer movement, and a masked recording of the page. Form inputs are masked by Clarity's default masking. It is loaded from clarity.ms.
• Adsterra (Adsterra Network, publisher 3403020, website 6186479) serves the Native Banner unit 32168993 and the Social Bar unit 32168994 from bicea.org. Adult ads are switched off for this website. Adsterra and the creative hosts it chooses may set their own cookies and read the IP address, user agent and page URL of the request.
• YouTube (Google) is not embedded on page load. A video is a poster image until you press Play; that click creates an iframe to youtube.com, and YouTube may then set its own cookies and read the request's IP address. If you have rejected the banner, the Play button does not create the iframe.
• Pages, CSS, fonts and images are files we host. Nunito and Lilita One are shipped with the site, not requested from a font CDN. There is no AdSense, no other ad network, and no third-party comment or chat widget on this version.

Cookies and local storage

We set no first-party cookie of our own. The site writes two localStorage keys on stealananimepack.com:

• sap-consent — the banner choice (granted or denied) and an expiry 180 days out. It is read on every page view to decide whether Clarity, Adsterra and click-to-play videos can load; GA4 continues with analytics storage granted. It stays in this browser; we do not receive a copy.
• sap-ads-closed — set to 1 when you close the Adsterra Social Bar. It has no expiry and stays until you clear site data, so the bar does not return on the next page view. Accepting again from Cookie settings removes it.

Third parties set cookies in their own names. The ones this version can set are:

• Google Analytics 4: _ga and _ga_<container-id>, each up to 2 years. These distinguish a browser from other browsers.
• Microsoft Clarity: _clck (1 year), _clsk (1 day), MUID, SM, CLID, ANONCHK and MR on Microsoft domains. These are vendor cookies; the linked Microsoft cookie reference describes their purposes.
• Adsterra: cookies on adsterra.com and the creative host (for example bicea.org) whose names vary by campaign; they are used for frequency capping, fraud checks and ad measurement. We do not control their names or lifetimes; Adsterra's policy is linked below.
• YouTube, only after Play: VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE, YSC, PREF and CONSENT, with lifetimes set by Google.

Your browser choices

Google Analytics measures visits by default and remains enabled after Reject. Google advertising storage, user data and personalization signals begin denied. Clarity session recording and Adsterra advertising start by default unless a previous refusal or Global Privacy Control signal is present. Reject stores a refusal for 180 days and reloads the page so those scripts stop; Cookie settings in the footer lets you change that choice. A default-on storage record is a technical preference, not evidence that you clicked Accept.

To prevent analytics requests as well, use your browser's tracking controls or Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Server logs may also be processed to deliver pages and prevent abuse.

How long it is kept

The sap-consent record expires after 180 days; sap-ads-closed stays until you clear it. Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity retain collected data according to their service and project settings; the operator has not published a verified retention setting for either project. Adsterra keeps its campaign and measurement data under its own retention schedule. YouTube keeps data under Google's retention rules. Emails you send to [email protected] are kept long enough to answer and fix the page, then deleted; we do not run a marketing list.

Personalized advertising and opt-outs

Adsterra may personalize ads using its own signals. You can limit personalized advertising in general through these industry controls:

• Google Ads Settings: adssettings.google.com
• Digital Advertising Alliance (US): optout.aboutads.info
• Network Advertising Initiative: optout.networkadvertising.org
• YourAdChoices: youradchoices.com
• Adsterra privacy policy: adsterra.com/privacy-policy
• Microsoft privacy statement (Clarity): privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement
• Google privacy policy (Analytics and YouTube): policies.google.com/privacy

Opting out of personalization does not stop ads from being served; it makes them less relevant. Blocking the ad script in your browser or extension stops the Adsterra units on this site entirely.

Global Privacy Control

If your browser sends the Global Privacy Control signal, the site records denied immediately and does not load Clarity or Adsterra, even though the default for other visitors is granted. The banner is not used to override that signal.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of any personal data we still hold, ask us to delete it, or object to how we handle it, by writing to [email protected]. You can also clear sap-consent and sap-ads-closed yourself, and use the opt-outs above for the third parties. If you are in the EEA or UK you may complain to your local data-protection authority. We respond to requests sent to that mailbox.

Children

The site is a game guide. We do not ask for a date of birth, we do not build a profile, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child sent us personal data, write to [email protected] and we will delete it.

Changes

When a script is added or removed, this page and the banner text change in the same update. The date under the title is the date of that change. Earlier versions of this page described a site with no analytics and no ads; that description no longer applies.
