Policy for Website Data Usage

Cookies are tiny text files placed by websites on your device when you visit. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help sites remember details about you—such as your preferences, login status, or items in your cart. At opalridgegarden.bond, we use a range of tracking technologies to enrich your learning journey and to better understand how our drawing fundamentals platform serves our community.

Beyond standard cookies, we also employ web beacons, pixel tags, and similar technologies. These tools collaborate to deliver a more tailored experience while assisting us in improving our educational content and platform functionality. Some technologies are essential for basic site operation, while others enhance your experience or help us analyze how people use the site.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies from specific websites. However, disabling essential cookies may prevent certain parts of our drawing platform from functioning correctly.

While you’re learning to draw, tracking helps us understand which techniques resonate with different learners. For instance, if many students spend extra time on our shading tutorials, we know to create more content in that area. If learners repeatedly revisit our color theory lessons, we can expand those materials.

Analytics also help identify when students might be struggling. If we notice users getting stuck at a particular lesson, we can add extra explanations or alternative teaching approaches. This data-driven approach lets us continuously improve our educational content based on real student behavior rather than guesswork.

Different types of tracking data have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may remain for months or years depending on their purpose. We regularly review and remove old tracking data that no longer aids the improvement of your learning experience.

You maintain control over your data relationship with Opal Ridge Garden. Beyond managing cookies, you can request information about what data we’ve collected, request corrections to inaccurate details, or request deletion of your tracking history. Our approach emphasizes transparency and puts you in control of your digital footprint on our platform.
