Web Data Usage Policy

Cookies are small text files placed by websites on your device when you visit. 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 groveechoportal.xyz, we use a variety of tracking technologies to enrich your learning experience and to understand how our drawing fundamentals platform serves our community.

Beyond traditional cookies, we also employ web beacons, pixel tags, and similar technologies. These tools work together to create a more personalized experience while helping us improve our educational content and platform functionality. Some of these technologies are essential for basic site operation, while others enhance your experience or assist 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 learn to draw, tracking helps us understand which techniques resonate with different learners. For instance, if many users spend extra time on our shading tutorials, we know to create more content in that area. If students repeatedly revisit our color theory lessons, we can expand those materials.

Analytics also help us identify when learners might be struggling. If we notice readers getting stuck at a particular lesson, we can add further 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 types of tracking data 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 old tracking data that no longer helps improve your learning experience.

You retain control over your data relationship with Grove Echo Portal. Beyond cookie management, you can request information about what 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.
