Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 11, 2026

We collect almost nothing. Candy Series runs no visitor-tracking scripts, no ad networks and no third-party trackers. One cookie remembers that you confirmed your age, and our server counts clicks on affiliate links without recording who made them. This policy covers candy-series.com, run by the Candy Series Editorial Team. It does not cover Candy (candy.ai), which has its own policies.

What we collect

We hold only what you choose to send us and an anonymous daily click count.

• Contact form messages. When you use the form, we store your message and any details you include in it privately on our server. Only the editorial team reads it, and we use it to reply and to fix the site.
• Affiliate click counts. Explained below. They contain no IP address and no personal data.

The site runs on a rented server, and its logs are kept to a minimum: we keep no access logs. The site is for adults only, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

Cookies and local storage

Visitors get one cookie from us, and your browser keeps two small settings that never reach us.

• site_age (cookie, 30 days). Remembers that you confirmed you are 18 or older, so the age check doesn’t return on every visit.
• Preview cookie (staff only). Set only for our editorial team when they preview pages. Regular visitors never receive it.
• localStorage (your browser). Stores whether the sidebar is collapsed and the series on your Binge Planner list. This data stays on your device and is never sent to us.

You can clear the cookie and local storage at any time in your browser settings. If you do, the age check appears again and your Binge Planner list starts empty.

Affiliate clicks

Links to Candy pass through a /go/ address on our site before sending you on to Candy. Each click adds one to a daily counter on our server, recorded by day, by series and by the link’s position on the page. The counter stores no IP address and no personal data, so it cannot be traced back to you. We use these totals to see which links and placements readers actually use.

Third parties

Two kinds of third-party requests can happen, and both involve Candy.

• Preview videos from Candy’s CDN. Posters are stored on our own server. Preview loops are not: they stream from Candy’s content delivery network only when you watch a series card or page hero. That request goes from your browser straight to Candy’s servers, which receive the standard technical details of any web request, such as your IP address.
• Candy, when you click out. Once you follow a link to candy.ai, you are on Candy’s site, and Candy’s own terms and privacy policy apply to what happens there, including any signup or payment.

Beyond these, the site loads no ad networks and no third-party trackers.

Your rights

Most of what this site stores sits on your own device, so you control it directly. You can:

• delete the site_age cookie and clear local storage in your browser at any time;
• ask us to show, correct or delete any message you sent through the contact form;
• ask what we hold about you. Because click counts carry no personal data, the answer is usually nothing beyond your messages.

Depending on where you live, privacy law may give you further rights, such as the right to object to processing or to complain to a data protection authority. We will act on any valid request that concerns data we actually hold.

Changes to this policy

If the way the site handles data changes, we will update this page and its effective date before the change takes effect.

Contact

Send privacy questions and requests through the form on our contact page. Messages are stored privately on our server and read by the editorial team. We don’t publish an email address.
