Website Data Use Policy

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

In addition to traditional cookies, we also employ web beacons, pixel tags, and similar tools. These technologies 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 the site to operate, while others enhance your experience or aid in analyzing 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 correctly.

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

Analytics also help us identify when learners might be struggling. If we notice users getting stuck at a particular lesson, we can add additional explanations or alternative teaching approaches. This data-driven approach allows us to continually refine 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 might remain for months or years depending on their purpose. We regularly review and purge old tracking data that no longer helps improve your learning experience.

You stay in control of your data relationship with Ridge Harbor Paper. In addition to cookie management, you can request information about the data we have collected, request corrections to any inaccurate information, or request deletion of your tracking history. Our approach emphasizes transparency and puts you in charge of your digital footprint on our platform.
