Anime has always been a commercial product, from its origins on Japanese broadcast TV to getting big enough to support multiple international streaming services as a art form by itself.
If you don’t want to be tracked, which is pretty much anything official online, AND you don’t want to put on an eyepatch and sail the 7 seas, buy it on official Blu-rays, which is slow and expensive. Your anime production company will thank you for your generous patronage.
You could also try something like streaming from official sites on a privacy-oriented browser like Brave (I know, problems with the dev), Chrome Incognito Mode, Firefox Focus, or Firefox Private Mode. There are free sample episodes of each series on a site like Crunchyroll
There are also entire episodes of series ranging from vintage shows to spotty samples of modern anime on YouTube, so you can use your favorite pipe apps for those.
