We keep this site deliberately simple: it is an informational article about handmade candy, with a few browser-side conveniences. There is no account system, no checkout, no advertising network, and no third-party analytics service. The paragraphs below describe exactly what happens when you visit.
1. Scope and who we are
This policy covers the pages published under the Sugar Petal Atelier name on this domain, including the article page and this privacy policy. Sugar Petal Atelier is a small confectionery studio. If you need to reach us about anything in this policy, use the contact details in section 9.

2. Information we handle
We have deliberately limited what is collected. Three kinds of information can arise from using this site:
| Type | Where it stays | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Consent choice | A first-party cookie and browser local storage | So the cookie banner does not reappear on every page |
| Tasting box selection | Browser local storage only | So a saved flavor list survives a page reload |
| On-device page-view count | Browser local storage, only if you allow it | To understand which pages are read; the count is never transmitted |
| Messages you email us | Your email provider and our mailbox | To answer your question about flavors, ingredients, or orders |
The message form on the article page does not submit anything to a server. It composes a draft in your own email application; nothing is sent until you choose to press Send there. If you do send an email, we use the name, address, and message you provided only to reply, and we do not add you to a mailing list without asking.
4. How information is used
- To remember your privacy choice and display the correct consent state.
- To keep your tasting box available while you browse.
- To maintain an anonymous, on-device page-view count when you have allowed it.
- To reply to questions you send by email and to provide ingredient or allergen information you request.
We do not sell, rent, or share personal information, we do not build advertising profiles, we do not make automated decisions about visitors, and we do not process payments through this website. Because the optional counter never leaves your browser, we do not receive it at all.
5. Links to third parties
Some links open services outside this site. The Get directions link opens Google Maps, and email links open your own email application. Those services only receive information when you choose to follow the link, and their handling of any data is governed by their own privacy policies. We do not load their scripts, maps, or trackers into our pages, so no connection to them is made simply by reading this site.
6. Retention and security
The consent cookie expires within 12 months, after which the banner asks again. Tasting box data remains until you clear it with the Clear the box button or clear your browser storage. Emails are kept only as long as needed to answer your question and to keep a record of any order discussion, after which they can be deleted on request.
This site is served over a standard web connection and uses no database of visitor information. Browser-stored data is controlled by your browser: you can inspect and delete it in your browser settings at any time. No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure, so please avoid sending sensitive personal or financial details by email.
7. Your choices
You are in control of everything this site stores. You can reopen the preferences panel, switch the optional counter off, or withdraw consent entirely and start again. Browser settings also let you block or delete cookies and local storage, although the tasting box feature will then reset between visits.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights regarding personal information, such as requesting access, correction, or deletion. Write to us using the address in section 9 and we will respond to the contact details you provided. We do not require an account, so there is no profile to export.
8. Children's privacy
This website is a general-audience informational site about confectionery and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If a parent or guardian believes a child has emailed us, please contact us and we will delete the message.
9. Changes to this policy and contact
If we change the way this site handles cookies or messages, we will update the date at the top of this page and describe the change here. This policy was last updated on November 2, 2026.
