Website Data Usage Policy

Cookies are tiny text files stored on your device by websites during your visit. They function like digital sticky notes that help sites remember details about you — such as your preferences, sign-in status, or items in your shopping cart. At cottagemarbleyard.xyz, we employ various tracking technologies to enhance your learning journey and to understand how our drawing fundamentals platform serves its community.

In addition to traditional cookies, we also use 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 enrich 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 functioning properly.

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

Analytics also help us detect when learners 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 continually refine our educational content based on real student behavior rather than guesswork.

Different types of tracking data have varying lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may stay for months or years depending on their purpose. We regularly review and purge outdated tracking data that no longer helps improve your learning experience.

You maintain control over your data relationship with CottageMarbleYard. Beyond cookie management, you can request information about the 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.
