How RidgeScriptGarden employs tracking technologies on RidgeScriptGarden
What Exactly Are Tracking Technologies?
As you browse our culinary education platform, several tiny data files run in the background to improve your experience. These tracking tools include cookies, web beacons, and local storage that help us learn how you engage with our global cuisine content and courses.
Think of these technologies as digital assistants that recall your preferences, such as bookmarked techniques or your chosen language. They aim to make future visits smoother and more tailored to your culinary learning journey.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Functionality
These keep the platform running smoothly — preserving your login session, recalling items in your course cart, and ensuring security features operate correctly. Without them, core site functions could fail.
Performance Analytics
We monitor how visitors move through our cooking tutorials and recipe collections to spot popular content and enhance site performance. This helps us detect slow-loading sections like the Mediterranean cuisine area or difficulties finding particular techniques.
Personalization Features
These keep track of your dietary choices, preferred cuisines, and previously viewed classes. On your return, we can suggest related topics like Indian spice tutorials or advanced knife skills workshops based on your interests.
Marketing Optimization
We monitor which promotional content resonates with various user groups to present more relevant course suggestions. This could involve promoting baking basics for pastry fans or Asian fusion techniques for adventurous cooks.
Essential Operations Information
Necessary for Core Site Functionality
Some tracking technologies cannot be disabled because they're necessary for core website operations. These include session management, security verification, and basic preference storage that keeps our 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 retain significant control over these technologies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers let you block third-party trackers, clear stored data, or prompt you before new tracking elements are installed. However, disabling certain tracking may limit some personalization features.
For users in regions with specific privacy regulations, we provide additional controls and transparency measures. Our data practices align with applicable privacy frameworks while supporting the interactive features that make culinary learning engaging and effective.
