Website Data Usage Policy

Cookies are tiny text files stored on your device when you visit sites. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help sites remember details about you – like your preferences, login status, or items in your shopping cart. At sageoakstone.xyz, we use different tracking technologies to improve your learning journey and understand how our drawing fundamentals platform serves its community.

In addition to traditional cookies, we also use web beacons, pixel tags, and similar technologies. These tools work together to create 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 boost your experience or help us analyze how the site is used.

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 certain parts of our drawing platform from working correctly.

While 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 students frequently revisit our color theory lessons, we can expand those materials.

Analytics also help us identify when learners 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 allows us to 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 might stay for months or years depending on their purpose. We regularly review and clean up old tracking data that's no longer useful for improving your learning experience.

You retain control over your data relationship with SageOakStone. 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 control of your digital footprint on our platform.
