Website Data Usage Policy

Cookies are small text files placed by websites on your device when you visit. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help sites remember things about you – like your preferences, login status, or items in your shopping basket. At harborguidecraft.bond, we use a variety of tracking technologies to enhance your learning journey and understand how our drawing fundamentals platform serves our community.

In addition to traditional cookies, we also employ web beacons, pixel tags, and similar technologies. These tools work together to deliver a more personalized experience while helping us improve our educational content and platform functionality. Some of these technologies are essential for basic site operation, while others enhance your experience or help us analyze usage patterns.

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

Tracking helps us understand which techniques resonate with different learners as you study drawing. For example, if many users spend extra time on shading tutorials, we know to create more content in that area. If learners frequently revisit color theory lessons, we can expand those materials.

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

Different kinds of tracking data have varying 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 We regularly review and purge outdated tracking data that no longer contributes to improving your learning experience.

You maintain control over your data relationship with HarborGuideCraft. Beyond cookie management, you can request information about what data we've collected, ask for corrections to inaccurate information, or request deletion of your tracking history. Our approach emphasizes transparency and puts you in control of your digital footprint on our platform.
