Policy on How Website Data Is Used

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

In addition to traditional cookies, we also use web beacons, pixel tags, and similar technologies. These tools work together to provide a more personalized experience while helping us enhance our educational content and platform features. Some of these methods are essential for basic site operation, while others are designed to improve your experience or assist us 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 working correctly.

While 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 frequently revisit our color theory lessons, we can expand those materials.

Analytics also help us 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 allows us to continually refine our educational content based on real student behavior rather than guesswork.

Different 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 We regularly review and remove outdated tracking data that no longer aids your learning experience.

You maintain control over your data relationship with NorthShoreGrove. Beyond cookie management, you can request information about the data we’ve collected, request corrections to any inaccuracies, or request deletion of your tracking history. Our approach emphasizes openness and puts you in charge of your digital footprint on our platform.
