Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 7, 2026

This policy explains what information CartoonLists collects when you use https://cartoonlists.com (the “Site”), what we do with it, and the choices you have.

Information We Collect

You can browse CartoonLists.com anonymously. We only receive personal information when you choose to give it — for example, by leaving a comment, subscribing to updates, filling out a form, or contacting us. That information may include your name and email address. You can decline to share it, though some features won’t be available without it.

Non-Personal Information

We also collect basic technical information automatically when you visit — things like browser type, operating system, device type, and how you arrived at the Site. This data isn’t tied to your identity and helps us understand how the Site is being used.

Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)

CartoonLists.com works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising on the Site. Mediavine serves content and ads using first- and third-party cookies — small text files placed on your device that let a website remember details about your browsing activity.

First-party cookies come from the site you’re visiting. Third-party cookies — along with tags, pixels, and beacons (collectively, “Tags”) — come from other domains and are commonly used for behavioral advertising and analytics. They help measure ad performance and tailor what you see. Every modern browser lets you block cookies or clear your cache through its settings menu; for a broader overview, see All About Cookies.

Blocking cookies may limit some Site features. Opting out doesn’t remove ads — you’ll just see non-personalized ones instead.

When serving personalized ads, the Site collects the following through cookies:

  • IP address
  • Operating system type
  • Operating system version
  • Device type
  • Website language
  • Web browser type
  • Email (in hashed form)

Mediavine Partners (listed at the link below) may combine this data with information they’ve collected from other sources — advertising IDs, pixels, usage data, device info, geolocation, traffic data, and referral sources — to deliver interest-based advertising across devices, browsers, and apps. Partners may also build unique IDs and audience segments for targeting.

For more on this practice and how to opt in or out, visit the National Advertising Initiative opt-out page, the Digital Advertising Alliance, or the Network Advertising Initiative. For mobile opt-out, download the AppChoices app or use your device’s built-in controls.

For details on each Mediavine Partner and their individual policies, see the Mediavine Partners page.
