Good catch — thanks for clarifying. Since you’re using ConsentMagic instead of Complianz, the Privacy Policy should reference that tool specifically. Below is the corrected section and a slightly improved cookie/privacy explanation that aligns with how ConsentMagic works (geo-based consent + cookie management).

You can replace the Cookies section in the policy I wrote earlier with this updated version.

Cookies

Cookies are small data files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly and allow certain features such as shopping carts, user preferences, and site performance improvements.

Candy4Less uses cookies for purposes including:

  • Essential website functionality

  • Shopping cart and checkout features

  • Website performance and optimization

  • Analytics and website improvement

Cookie Consent and Management

Our website uses ConsentMagic, a cookie consent management platform that helps us comply with global privacy regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA).

ConsentMagic helps manage cookies and privacy preferences by:

  • Detecting visitor location to apply appropriate privacy rules

  • Displaying cookie consent banners when required by law

  • Allowing visitors to accept, reject, or customize cookie preferences

  • Managing consent records for compliance purposes

Visitors may change their cookie preferences at any time through the cookie settings tool available on the website.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as navigation, shopping cart functionality, and checkout security.

Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website so we can improve usability and performance.

For example, we use analytics tools such as:

  • Independent Analytics (self-hosted website analytics)

  • Hotjar (user experience insights such as heatmaps and session recordings)

Whenever possible, analytics data is stored on our own servers and used only to improve website performance and customer experience.

Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control or delete cookies through browser settings.

You can typically:

  • Delete existing cookies

  • Block cookies entirely

  • Set preferences for certain websites

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of parts of the website, such as shopping carts or account login features.

We take reasonable steps to protect your information and maintain a secure browsing experience.

Our website uses tools including:

MalCare Security
Used to protect the website from malware, hacking attempts, and security threats.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

Your information may only be shared in the following situations:

  • With payment processors necessary to complete transactions

  • With shipping providers to deliver orders

  • When required by law, legal requests, or regulatory obligations

We make efforts to minimize third-party data sharing wherever possible.

If you believe a child has provided personal information through our website, please contact us so we can remove the information.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” feature. Because there is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to these signals, our website does not currently respond to them.

Any updates will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
