Website Data Usage Policy

Cookies are small text files that sites place 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 shopping cart. At pinecrestatelier.site, we employ a range of tracking technologies to enhance your learning journey and to better 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 deliver a more personalized experience while helping us improve our educational content and platform functionality. Some technologies are essential for basic site operation, while others improve your experience or help us analyze usage patterns.

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 parts of our drawing platform from functioning correctly.

When you’re learning to draw, tracking helps us understand which techniques resonate with different students. For example, if many learners 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 additional explanations or alternative teaching approaches. This data-driven approach lets us continuously 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 may 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 retain control over your data relationship with PineCrestAtelier. 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 prioritizes transparency and puts you in charge of your digital footprint on our platform.
