Analytics
We use a self-hosted Plausible Analytics instance to measure aggregate page views and referral performance. Plausible is designed for privacy-friendly, cookie-free web analytics. We use analytics to understand which guides are useful and whether pages work on common devices.
Affiliate redirects
Links marked rel="sponsored nofollow" may pass through our /go/ route and an affiliate tracking service before reaching Candy AI. The redirect attaches limited attribution labels such as this site, page and placement. We do not place your name, email, chat content or payment details into those labels.
Server logs
Like most web servers and content delivery networks, our infrastructure may process technical request data such as IP address, browser user agent, requested URL, timestamp and response status for delivery, abuse prevention and troubleshooting. Logs are operational records, not reader profiles.
External services
Following a link to Candy AI, Plausible documentation or another external website moves you to that provider’s privacy terms. Review the destination before creating an account or sharing personal data.
Sensitive information
Do not send us intimate prompts, passwords, payment details or identifiable private media. This publication does not need that information to explain its editorial standards or correct an article.
Changes
We update this notice when our analytics or affiliate-routing practices materially change. Last updated July 28, 2026.
