THE VISITOR BOOK / PRIVACY POLICY

The Visitor Book: how your flavor-matching preferences are kept

A plain-language account of the display choices, tasting notes and flavor families saved while you browse our small-batch artisan confectionery showcase and gift collection guide.

What the visitor book holds

This showcase keeps a short, local note of the choices you make on the page: the flavor family you select on the Pull Board, the display style you prefer and the assortment you compose in the keepsake tin atelier. Those notes help the retro candy counter open in the same place the next time you visit.

The note lives in your own browser storage. It contains a preference word and a flavor family name, nothing more elaborate. It travels with this device, not with a posted letter.

Display and flavor-matching preferences

Flavor ledger selection
The last family you chose: saltwater classics, copper-kettle brittle, spun sugar and ribbon, or keepsake tin gifts.
Display choices
Whether you prefer the saved view or a simple view of the Pull Board and the ticket stub index.
Keepsake tin atelier
Assortment suggestions are assembled in the moment and are not written into long-term storage.
Preference card
The corner card records your choice under a single local storage key, then leaves the page.

Letters and correspondence

If you write to us about holiday sweet assortments, care package treats or specialty food gifts for parents, we use your message only to answer that letter. We enjoy talking about heritage candy craft, texture profiles and the classic family candy dish.

Write to taffyandtide.letters@gmail.com or use the letter desk on our story page. Every reply comes from the Cape May kitchen, and we keep the conversation as brief as the question.

Clearing and changing your notes

  • Use the Simple view button on the preference card to keep the page in its plain state.
  • Clear site data in your browser to remove saved flavor families and display choices.
  • Write to the letter desk if you would like a question about a saved preference answered.
  • Read the House Customs page for guidance on collection descriptions and batch specifications.

Small-batch confections, carefully described

Our collection guide is built for gift buyers and connoisseurs of classic craftsmanship: flavor notes, texture profiles, batch size, gift suitability and pairing ideas appear beside every assortment. Collectible candy tins, corporate heritage gift boxes and artisanal tasting boxes are described the way a counter clerk would describe them.

Keepsake gift tins

Gift suitability notes for every striped tin and tasting box in the collection.

Retro candy counter

Nostalgic sweet shop treats, 1960s boardwalk summers and seaside childhood memories.

Batch specifications

Hand-wrapped taffy pieces, kettle-side batch cards and crisp peanut brittle snap.

Write to the letter desk

Letters about keepsake gift tins, artisanal tasting boxes and batch specifications are always welcome at our Cape May kitchen.
