Website Data Usage Policy
How Ridge Willow Tangent utilizes tracking technologies on Ridge Willow Tangent
What Are Tracking Technologies?
As you browse our culinary education platform, small data files operate behind the scenes to enhance your experience. These tracking technologies include cookies, web beacons, and local storage that help us analyze how you engage with our international cuisine content and learning programs.
Consider them digital helpers that remember your preferences, such as which cooking techniques you've bookmarked or your chosen language settings. They are designed to make return visits smoother and more tailored to your culinary learning journey.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Functionality
These keep the platform running properly — maintaining your login session, remembering items in your course cart, and ensuring security features function correctly. Without these, basic site operations could fail.
Performance Analytics
We monitor how users navigate our cooking tutorials and recipe collections to identify popular content and improve site speed. This helps us determine if sections load slowly or if users have trouble finding specific techniques.
Personalization Features
These remember your dietary preferences, favorite cuisine types, and previously viewed cooking classes. When you return, we can suggest relevant Indian spice tutorials or advanced knife skills workshops based on your interests.
Marketing Optimization
We track which promotional content resonates with different user segments to show more relevant course recommendations. This might mean highlighting baking fundamentals for pastry enthusiasts or Asian fusion techniques for adventurous cooks.
Essential Operations Information
Necessary for Basic Site Function
Some tracking technologies cannot be disabled because they're essential for core website operations. This includes session management, security verification, and basic preference storage that keeps the platform functional and secure.
Data Retention and Your Control Options
We retain different types of tracking data for varying periods based on their purpose. Session-based information expires when you close your browser, while preference data might persist for up to two years to maintain consistency across visits.
You have substantial control via your browser settings. Most modern browsers let you block third-party trackers, erase stored data, or prompt before new tracking elements are installed. However, turning off certain tracking may limit some personalization features.
For users in regions with particular privacy rules, we provide extra controls and transparency measures. Our data practices align with applicable privacy frameworks while supporting interactive features that make culinary learning engaging and effective.
