Website Data Usage Policy

Cookies are tiny text files that sites place on your device when you visit. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help remember details about you—like preferences, login status, or items in your shopping cart. At openfieldharbor.xyz, we use a variety of tracking technologies to enrich 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 similar technologies. These tools work together to offer 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 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.

While you’re learning to draw, tracking helps us identify which techniques resonate with different students. For instance, if many users 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 spot 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 lets us continuously refine our educational content based on real student behavior rather than guesswork.

Different tracking data types 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 We regularly review and purge outdated tracking data that no longer aids in improving your learning experience.

You retain control over your data relationship with OpenFieldHarbor. Beyond managing cookies, you can request information about the data we’ve collected, ask for corrections to inaccurate details, or request deletion of your tracking history. Our approach emphasizes transparency and puts you in charge of your digital footprint on our platform.
