How we check Candy Shorts

1. Two clean sessions

Each check reads the Candy Shorts library and every public series page twice: once as a phone browser and once as a desktop browser, from a US address, each starting with an empty cookie jar. The two readings are compared field by field: titles, tags, categories, the Spicy flag, the number of episodes, the state and token price of every episode, and whether a free video is present. If they disagree, nothing changes on the site until the difference is checked again. At the last check, on Nov 10, 2026, they matched on every field.

2. The files themselves

For every public series, Candy serves episode 1 to anyone. We download that file from Candy's servers and read its header: length, width, height and size. That is where the runtimes on this site come from, and why they are exact to the second. The files are played from this site unaltered.

3. Frame samples

For a sample of series, we take 6 frames from episode 1, spread evenly from early to late in the episode, and record what is on screen: clothed, suggestive, implied or more. 19 series have been sampled so far. A sample is not a full viewing, and every page that uses one says so.

4. Our team's viewing

Some facts cannot be read from a public page, such as the episode where nudity starts. Where we state them, they come from our team's own viewing, and pages say "in our team's viewing" so you can tell them apart from what anyone can verify. The nudity ratings on Candy Shorts nude work this way.

5. Candy's documents

Prices come from Candy's subscriptions page as an anonymous US visitor sees it. Rules about accounts, tokens, cancelling and refunds come from Candy's help center and terms of service. When two Candy documents disagree, we quote both rather than pick one.

What we never claim

• What happens in locked episodes, beyond our team's level rating.
• Anything about Spicy series beyond what their card shows and our team's level rating, since their pages are closed to visitors.
• That a free copy of a paid episode exists: paid episodes are not public.
• That a real performer filmed anything: Candy uses licensed digital twins.
• Any character's age: we quote Candy's rules and leave out series that do not state it.

Numbers are never typed by hand

Every count, price and length on this site is read from the latest check when the page is built. If Candy changes a price tomorrow, the pages change with the next check, and the change is logged in the new episodes log. Before publishing, every page is also rendered against a deliberately altered copy of the data, to catch any number that does not move with it.
