Website Data Usage Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites 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 orchardstreamway.xyz, we utilize a variety of tracking technologies to enhance 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 related technologies. These tools work together to provide a more personalized experience while helping us improve our educational content and platform functionality. Some technologies are essential for basic site operation, while others enhance 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 functioning correctly.

While you learn 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 additional explanations or alternative teaching approaches. This data-driven method lets us 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 may remain for months or years depending on their purpose. We regularly review and purge outdated tracking data that no longer helps improve your learning experience.

You retain control over your data relationship with OrchardStreamWay. Beyond cookie management, you can request information about what data we have collected, ask for corrections to inaccurate information, or request deletion of your tracking history. Our approach emphasizes transparency and gives you control over your digital footprint on our platform.
