Website Data Usage Policy

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about you – like your preferences, login status, or items in your shopping cart. At westharborlane.bond, we use various tracking technologies to improve your learning experience and to understand how our drawing fundamentals platform serves our community.

In addition to traditional cookies, we also utilize web beacons, pixel tags, and similar technologies. These tools work together to deliver a more personalized experience while helping us enhance our educational content and platform functionality. Some of these 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 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 identify which techniques resonate with different learners as you study drawing. For instance, 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 assist us in spotting 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 enables us to continually refine our educational content based on real student behavior rather than assumptions.

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 We regularly review and remove outdated tracking data that is no longer useful for improving your learning experience.

You maintain control over your data relationship with WestHarborLane. Beyond 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.
