Website Data Handling Policy
Learn how ParcelGardenRidge employs tracking technologies on ParcelGardenRidge's services
What Exactly Are Tracking Technologies?
When you access our culinary education platform, a range of small data files operate in the background to improve your experience. These tracking technologies encompass cookies, web beacons, and local storage methods that help us understand how you engage with our international cuisine content and courses.
Think of these technologies as digital assistants that recall your preferences, such as bookmarked techniques or your preferred language settings. They are designed to make future visits smoother and more tailored to your culinary learning journey.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Functionality
These maintain proper platform operation — sustaining your login session, retaining items in your course cart, and ensuring security features operate correctly. Without them, basic site functions would fail.
Performance Analytics
We monitor how users navigate our cooking tutorials and recipe collections to identify popular content and enhance site performance. This helps us determine if the Mediterranean cuisine section loads slowly or if users have trouble finding particular techniques.
Personalization Features
These recall your dietary preferences, favorite cuisines, and previously viewed classes. Upon return, we can propose relevant 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 pertinent course recommendations. This could involve emphasizing baking fundamentals for pastry lovers or Asian fusion techniques for adventurous cooks.
Necessary for Core Site Functionality
Required for Basic Site Function
Some tracking technologies cannot be turned off because they are essential for core website operations. These include managing sessions, verifying security, and storing basic preferences that keep our platform functional and secure.
Data Retention and Your Control Options
We retain various types of tracking data for different durations depending on purpose. Session data expires when you close the browser, while preference data may 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 allow you to block third-party trackers, clear stored data, or receive prompts before new tracking elements are installed. However, turning off certain tracking may limit some personalization features.
For users in regions with specific privacy regulations, we offer 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.
