Please do not submit private, sensitive, medical, financial, or confidential information through the website.

Visitor Analytics
ACandlesLight.com uses, or may use, a visitor analytics service such as Google Analytics.
Analytics services may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about visits and website activity. Analytics information helps me understand which pages are helpful, how visitors move through the website, and what kinds of content readers enjoy.
Analytics reports are generally reviewed in an aggregated form. I do not use visitor analytics to personally identify individual readers.
You can limit or disable cookies through your browser settings. Depending on your browser, you may also be able to block analytics scripts or use available analytics opt-out tools.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small data files placed on a computer, phone, tablet, or other device when a person visits a website.
ACandlesLight.com and its third-party service providers may use cookies for purposes such as:
- Measuring website traffic
- Remembering website preferences
- Maintaining website security
- Understanding visitor activity

- Confirming that a referred purchase qualifies for an affiliate commission
Some cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser. Others may remain on your device for a set period.
You can instruct your browser to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or notify you when cookies are being placed. Blocking cookies may affect the way some website features or affiliate links function.
Affiliate Links
Some pages and posts on ACandlesLight.com contain affiliate links.
When you click an affiliate link, the retailer or affiliate network may use cookies or similar tracking technologies to recognize that you were referred by ACandlesLight.com. If you complete a qualifying purchase, I may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate retailers and networks operate under their own privacy policies and data-processing practices. ACandlesLight.com does not control the information collected directly by those third parties.
Please review a retailer’s privacy policy before submitting personal or payment information on its website.
Third-Party Websites
ACandlesLight.com may contain links to candle companies, retailers, affiliate partners, social media platforms, reference materials, and other third-party websites.
Once you leave ACandlesLight.com, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. I am not responsible for the privacy practices, security, accuracy, content, products, or services of third-party websites.
A link to another website does not necessarily mean that I endorse every product, statement, policy, or practice found there.
Embedded Content
Articles on ACandlesLight.com may occasionally include embedded content, such as images, videos, social media posts, or other media from third-party websites.
Embedded content may behave as though you visited the third-party website directly. Those websites may collect information, use cookies, include additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content.
Their collection and use of information are governed by their own privacy policies.

ACandlesLight.com does not currently sell mailing lists or personal contact information.
Data Retention
Automatically collected analytics, server-log, and affiliate-tracking information may be retained according to the settings and retention practices of the applicable hosting provider, analytics company, affiliate network, or retailer.
Information may also be retained when reasonably necessary for website security, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, or legal compliance.
Data Security
Reasonable efforts are made to maintain and protect ACandlesLight.com. However, no website, internet transmission, analytics platform, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You use the website and submit information at your own discretion.
Children’s Privacy
ACandlesLight.com is intended for a general audience and is not directed specifically toward children under 13 years of age.
I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding personal information, including the right to request access, correction, deletion, or information about how data is used.
Because ACandlesLight.com does not currently maintain newsletter accounts or reader profiles, I may not possess information that can be connected directly to an individual visitor.
You may also:
- Adjust cookie permissions in your browser
- Delete stored browser cookies
- Use private-browsing features
- Install compatible analytics-blocking or opt-out tools
- Avoid clicking affiliate links
- Visit a retailer directly rather than through an affiliate link
Requests relating to information collected directly by an analytics provider, affiliate network, social media platform, or retailer may need to be submitted to that company.

This Privacy Policy may be updated when the website’s services, features, affiliate relationships, analytics tools, or legal obligations change.
The revised policy will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Visitors are encouraged to review this page periodically.

Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: July 21, 2026
ACandlesLight.com is a personal lifestyle, candle, home-fragrance, art, and inspiration website created by Teresa.
Some pages and posts on this website may contain affiliate links. This means that when you click one of these links and make a qualifying purchase, I may earn a small commission. Your purchase price will not increase because you used my link.
Affiliate commissions help support the cost of maintaining ACandlesLight.com and creating new candlelight artwork, articles, reviews, fragrance guides, and inspirational content.
My Commitment to Readers
Products featured on ACandlesLight.com may include:
- Scented candles
- Flameless and battery-operated candles
- Candle warmer lamps
- Wax warmers and wax melts
- Home-fragrance products
- Candle accessories
- Peaceful home décor
- Journals, books, and creative products
- Other items related to the website’s content
I aim to recommend products that I genuinely like, find useful, believe are beautiful, or think may be relevant to ACandlesLight.com readers.
However, the presence of an affiliate link does not guarantee that I have personally purchased, tested, or used every product mentioned. When a recommendation is based on product information, research, customer feedback, brand details, or personal interest rather than firsthand experience, I will do my best to make that context clear.
My opinions are my own. An affiliate relationship does not guarantee a positive review, and compensation does not determine what I say about a product.
Prices and Product Information
Product prices, availability, ingredients, fragrance descriptions, features, safety instructions, and retailer policies may change without notice.
Please verify all important information directly with the manufacturer or retailer before purchasing or using a product.
ACandlesLight.com is not responsible for:
- Changes in product prices or availability
- Differences between product photographs and actual items
- Retailer shipping, returns, warranties, or customer service
- Individual fragrance preferences or sensitivities
- Product reformulations or discontinued items
- The safety, performance, or quality of third-party products
Candle and Fragrance Safety
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using candles, candle warmers, wax melts, fragrance products, or electrical devices.
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep candles and heated fragrance products away from children, pets, drafts, flammable materials, and anything that could catch fire.
Fragrance preferences and sensitivities vary. Discontinue use and seek appropriate professional guidance if a product causes irritation or an adverse reaction.
Content on ACandlesLight.com is shared for general information and inspiration. It is not medical, mental-health, safety, or professional advice.
Disclosure Within Individual Posts
When an article contains affiliate links, a brief disclosure may also appear near the beginning of the post, such as:
This post may contain affiliate links. If you purchase through one of these links, I may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
This disclosure is intended to help readers recognize the affiliate relationship before interacting with product recommendations.
Thank you for supporting ACandlesLight.com and allowing me to continue sharing peaceful inspiration, candlelight art, comforting fragrances, and products that can help bring warmth and beauty into the home.
Light the way. Be the light. Share the light.
May you find a little light to carry with you today.
