Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 23, 2025

Welcome to Movie or Show ("the Site"). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle your information.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

The Site itself does not collect, store, or sell any personal information from its users. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal data remains confidential.

2. Tracking Technologies & Google Consent Mode v2

We use Google Analytics 4 to track user interactions on our website. This service helps us understand how users engage with our website and improve our services accordingly. We implement Google Consent Mode v2 to respect your privacy preferences and comply with regional data protection regulations.

Region-Specific Data Collection:

For visitors from the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and Switzerland:
Analytics tracking is disabled by default. We only collect anonymized, cookieless data for behavioral modeling until you explicitly consent to analytics tracking. This ensures GDPR compliance and protects your privacy rights.

For visitors from all other regions:
Analytics tracking is enabled by default to provide you with a better user experience. We collect analytics data including page views, session duration, and interaction events to improve our service. You can opt out at any time through our consent banner or by clearing your browser cookies.

What Data We Collect:

With Analytics Consent (analytics_storage: granted):
• Analytics cookies (_ga, _gid) for user tracking across sessions
• Page views, session duration, and bounce rate
• Custom events (watchlist additions, shares, content interactions)
• Device type, browser, and geographic location
• User journey and conversion funnels

Without Analytics Consent (analytics_storage: denied):
• Cookieless pings for aggregate behavioral modeling
• Estimated page views and session counts (no individual tracking)
• Basic geographic and device data
• No personal identifiers or cross-session tracking

Managing Your Preferences:

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through the consent banner that appears when you first visit our site. If you accidentally consent to tracking or change your mind later, you can reset your preferences by clearing your browser cookies or using your browser's privacy settings. Your consent choice is stored locally on your device and is not shared with any third parties.

3. Advertising & Ad Personalization

We use Google AdSense to serve advertisements on our website. These ads help us maintain and improve our service at no cost to you. We implement Google Consent Mode v2 to give you control over ad personalization.

Ad Consent Settings (Applies to All Regions):

Before You Accept (ad_storage: denied):
Contextual ads only - Ads are shown based on the current page content, not your personal browsing history
• No ad cookies or tracking across websites
• No remarketing or personalized ad targeting
• Ads still appear, but they are generic and less relevant to your interests

After You Accept (ad_storage: granted):
Personalized ads based on your interests and browsing behavior
• Ad cookies for remarketing (you may see ads for content you viewed)
• Better ad relevance and user experience
• Helps us generate more revenue to improve the service

Managing Ad Preferences:

You can control ad personalization through our consent banner or by visiting Google's Ads Settings at google.com/settings/ads. Please note that declining ad personalization does not mean you will see fewer ads, but rather that the ads will be contextual rather than personalized.

4. Children's Privacy

The Site is not intended for children under the age of 12. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Site signifies your acceptance of any changes.
