Managing Your Cookie Choices

Where available, you may manage optional cookies through the Cookie Settings control on the CandySpace website.

You may be able to:

• Accept all optional cookies
• Reject optional cookies
• Enable or disable individual categories
• Review and update your choices later

You may also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, block, or receive warnings about cookies.

Blocking all cookies may prevent authentication, preferences, security tools, and other CandySpace features from working correctly.

Mobile App Technologies

CandySpace’s mobile applications may use technologies such as SDKs, device identifiers, notification tokens, secure storage, and local application storage rather than traditional browser cookies.

Depending on your device, you may be able to manage these technologies through:

• Your device’s privacy settings
• Application permissions
• Notification settings
• Advertising-personalization settings
• CandySpace account or privacy settings
• Uninstalling the application

Data Retention

Cookies may remain on your device for the duration of a session or until their stated expiration date, unless you delete them earlier.

Information collected through cookies and similar technologies may be retained for a different period depending on:

• The purpose for which it was collected
• Security and fraud-prevention requirements
• Legal and contractual obligations
• The settings of the relevant service provider
• Whether the information has been aggregated or anonymized

We aim to retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for its intended purpose.
