Overview

Fanhattan provides access to The Movie Database (TMDB), a community-maintained open database of movie and TV show metadata. Scripts load content data from TMDB's API for entertainment discovery applications.

What This Script Does

  • Fetches movie and TV show metadata (titles, descriptions, cast, ratings) from TMDB's API
  • Renders content cards, search results, and detail views using TMDB data
  • Makes API requests to TMDB's servers for content lookup and search queries
  • Does not set advertising or behavioral tracking cookies
  • Does not collect user behavioral data for profiling or advertising purposes

Consent & Compliance

  • Consent Category: Functional
  • Applicable Regulations: GDPR, ePrivacy Directive
  • Opt-in Required: No — serves as a functional content data source with no tracking or advertising component

Should You Block This Without Consent?

No. Fanhattan/TMDB provides functional content metadata with no advertising or behavioral tracking. The API requests fetch publicly available movie and TV data needed for the page to display its core content.

Is Fanhattan GDPR compliant?

Fanhattan typically loads functional trackers, which are not strictly necessary for your site to work. Under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, non-essential cookies and trackers must stay blocked until a visitor gives clear opt-in consent. So Fanhattan can be fully GDPR compliant, but only if your site holds its scripts until consent is granted and lets visitors decline just as easily. Compliance depends on how your site loads Fanhattan, not on Fanhattan itself.
