Privacy Ledger

What is stored, and only when you agree

The showcase includes a display notice in the corner of the page. If you choose to save your settings, the browser writes one small entry into local storage under a house key. That entry holds three things and nothing more:

• The flavour family you last filtered in the specimen drawers.
• The occasion, palate and vessel choices you last set at the palate and tin desk.
• The date and time the entry was written, so the desk can tell how fresh the setting is.

If you choose the second button on that notice, no entry is written and any earlier entry is removed. Either way, the notice is deleted from the page once you answer it.

What the showcase does not do

• No names, postal addresses, telephone numbers or payment details are requested anywhere in the showcase.
• No accounts, profiles or sign-in steps exist on this site.
• No advertising, analytics or social pixels are loaded from this site.
• No information from your device is transmitted to the kettle house or to any other party by the pages themselves.

The letters desk replies to email that you send first, at the address printed in the footer. Nothing is added to a mailing list as a result of reading the showcase.

How long a setting is held

A saved setting stays in your browser until you clear it, until you return to the notice and choose the removal button, or until your browser clears local storage according to its own rules. The showcase reads the entry once per visit to restore the way you left the drawers and the desk.

Removing the entry yourself

Open the browser's site data or storage settings for this page and delete the entry whose key begins with the letters vc_. Clearing all site data has the same effect. The showcase works exactly as before; it simply opens with every drawer visible and the desk set to its first position.

Copying tasting notes

The palate and tin desk includes a button that copies a tasting and gift summary to your clipboard. That action is carried out by your own browser: the text is placed on your clipboard, and the showcase does not send it anywhere. Nothing is saved unless you paste it into a document yourself.

Households and younger readers

The showcase is written for adult collectors and gift buyers. It does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, and it contains no features directed at children beyond a plain description of sweets.
