Privacy & Cookie Notice

Last updated: 11 November 2026

This notice explains what personal data Rule34-Videos.com ("we", "the Site") processes, why, who receives it, and the choices and rights you have. Questions and requests: rule34videosdmca@protonmail.com.

1. What we process and why

Visit data. When you open a page, our server receives your IP address, your browser's user agent, the address of the page and the page you came from. We use this to deliver pages and videos, to protect the Site against attacks, spam and abuse, and to work out your country with a local copy of the MaxMind GeoLite2 database (your IP address is not sent to MaxMind). Your country is used to show the right ads, to apply legal restrictions that exist in some countries, and to decide whether to show the cookie banner. Server logs are kept for 14 days and then deleted. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in running a secure website.

Your account (if you register). Username, email address, password (stored only as a hash), your profile picture and what you add to the Site, such as comments, favorites and uploads. Used to run your account and show your activity on the Site. Legal basis: providing the service you asked for.

Analytics. Google Analytics and Yandex Metrica record the pages you visit, your device and browser, your approximate location and a pseudonymous ID kept in a cookie, so we can count visitors and see how the Site is used. In the European Union, the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom they only run if you allow analytics cookies. Legal basis there: your consent.

Advertising. The Site is free because of ads. Our advertising partners (advertising networks such as Clickadu, JuicyAds and TrafficStars, and in some countries direct advertisers) load the ads and count views and clicks. They may set their own cookies and recognise your browser across other sites; their own privacy policies apply to that. In the European Union, the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, ads only load if you allow advertising cookies. Legal basis there: your consent.

2. Cookies and similar technologies

Essential (always on, needed for the Site to work):

  • country_code: your country, for ads and legal restrictions (1 day).
  • r34_consent: your cookie choice (6 months).
  • sessionid, csrftoken, access_token: login and protection against forged requests (while you are logged in).
  • django_language: the language you chose.
  • Local storage in your browser (never sent to us as a cookie): player settings such as volume and quality, the light/dark theme, and how often a pop-up ad was shown to you.

Analytics (only with your consent in the EU, EEA and UK): _ga, _ga_* (Google Analytics, up to 2 years) and _ym_* (Yandex Metrica, up to 1 year).

Advertising (only with your consent in the EU, EEA and UK): cookies set by our advertising partners on their own domains.

Visitors in the EU, EEA and UK can change or withdraw their choice at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. You can also delete cookies in your browser settings.

3. Who receives your data

  • Our hosting and network providers, who run the servers of the Site.
  • Google (Google Analytics). Google may process data in the United States; Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
  • Yandex (Yandex Metrica). Yandex processes data in Russia, a country without an adequacy decision of the European Commission; in the EU, EEA and UK this only happens if you allow analytics cookies.
  • Our advertising partners, as described above.
  • Authorities, when we are legally required to share data.

We do not share your personal data with anyone else.

4. Your rights

You can ask for access to the personal data we hold about you or a copy of it, and ask us to correct, restrict or delete it, or object to its use, by emailing rule34videosdmca@protonmail.com. To delete your account, write to us from the email address of the account. You can withdraw your consent at any time with Cookie settings; this does not affect processing before you withdrew it. You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority.

5. Age

The Site is only for adults (18 or older, or the age of majority where you live). We do not knowingly collect data from minors.

6. Changes to this notice

We may change this notice, for example when we add or remove a partner. The current version is always on this page, with the date of the last update.
