The short version
Candy Club is a small, independent confectionery-lifestyle publication. This page exists because we believe you deserve to know exactly what touches your browser when you read us — and the honest answer is: very little. There is no account system, no newsletter signup trap, no advertising beacon, and no analytics quilt stitched across the site.
What this site stores on your device
Exactly one value, kept in your browser's local storage under a single key (candyclub-consent-swirl-2026). It records only whether you tapped “Sounds Good” or “No, Thanks” on the consent ribbon at the bottom of the page, so we do not show it to you forever. It contains no name, no email, no identifier, and it never leaves your device. You can erase it at any time by clearing your browser's site data.
What this site does not collect
- No account, login, or password — there is nowhere to make one.
- No analytics beacons, session recordings, fingerprinting scripts, or advertising pixels.
- No third-party cookies — we set none, and we embed no third-party content that could.
- No purchase or payment data — Candy Club sells nothing through this site.
- No location tracking; the city in our footer is ours, not yours.
Email correspondence
When you write to candyclub.desk@gmail.com, your message lands in an ordinary mailbox. We keep the thread long enough to answer you properly and for our own records, we never add you to a list you did not ask to join, and we never sell, rent, or trade your address. Reply “erase” and we will delete the thread from our active mailbox.
Children's privacy
Our readers of every age are welcome at the counter. Because the site collects nothing personal, it is equally quiet for younger readers. Children should still browse with a grown-up's blessing — the recipes involve hot sugar, which is glorious and serious.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data a business holds about you. Since we store essentially nothing, the fastest route is a plain email to the desk. We will confirm what we hold (usually: one consent flag on your own device) and explain how to clear it.
Changes to this policy
If we ever add a feature that stores more than the consent flag — say, a recipe-save button that works offline — this page will be updated first, and the “last updated” stamp above will move.
