Web Data Usage Policy

Cookies are tiny text files that websites place on your device when you visit. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help sites remember information about you — such as your preferences, login status, or items in your shopping cart. At plazacommonground.bond, we use a range of tracking technologies to enrich your learning journey and to understand how our drawing fundamentals platform serves our community.

Beyond traditional cookies, we also utilize web beacons, pixel tags, and similar technologies. These tools work together to create a more personalized experience while assisting us in improving our educational content and platform functionality. Some of these 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 let you 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’re learning to draw, tracking helps us understand which techniques resonate with different students. For instance, if many learners spend extra time on our shading tutorials, we know to develop more content in that area. If students 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 approach lets us continually refine our educational content based on real student behavior rather than guesswork.

Different types of tracking data have varying 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 old tracking data that no longer helps improve your learning experience.

You maintain control over your data relationship with PlazaCommonGround. Beyond cookie management, you can request information about what data we’ve collected, ask for corrections to inaccuracies, or request deletion of your tracking history. Our approach prioritizes transparency and puts you in control of your digital footprint on our platform.
