Cookie notice

Last reviewed: 7 September 2026

This notice describes the cookies and similar technologies currently used or documented for CandyStore.com, what they are for, and their typical maximum durations. Shopify and the services we install may change technical names as their systems evolve; we review this notice periodically and update it when our configuration materially changes. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy.

Not everything is a cookie

Not all measurement or advertising activity uses a browser cookie. We and our service providers may also use pixels, tags, scripts, browser storage, and server-side or API events. The privacy choices described in our Privacy Policy apply to those technologies too, where applicable.

The categories

Our cookie banner uses the categories Shopify provides:

  • Required — needed for the store to work at all: your cart, checkout, security, and remembering the cookie choice you made. These cannot be switched off.
  • Personalization — optional. We have not identified any technology on this store that falls in this category; if that changes, this notice will name it.
  • Analytics — optional. Tells us how the site is used.
  • Marketing — optional. Measures whether our advertising worked and supports our email tools.

Where we ask before switching the optional ones on

If you visit from California, Pennsylvania, Florida, Canada, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we do not activate Analytics or Marketing processing until you consent. Some required or functional code still loads so the site works and the consent banner can be shown; it is not used for Analytics or Marketing unless your choice permits it. Everywhere else, those technologies may operate by default unless you turn them off.

Changing your mind

Your choice is stored in this browser. You can change it at any time from Manage cookie preferences in the footer of any page. Deleting this site's cookies erases the record of your choice rather than withdrawing it, and may return you to default processing where that applies — so use the preference control. Durations below may also renew with continued use, and they are not the retention period for information already sent. Cookie choices and the separate sale/sharing opt-out described in our Privacy Policy are different controls, even where their practical effects overlap.
