Website Data Usage Policy
How Marsh Tide Ridge uses tracking technologies on Marsh Tide Ridge
What Are Tracking Technologies?
As you explore our culinary education platform, several tiny data files operate behind the scenes to improve your experience. These tracking technologies include cookies, web beacons, and local storage methods that help us learn how you engage with our global cuisine content and training programs.
Consider these as digital assistants that recall your preferences, such as bookmarked techniques or your preferred language. They are intended to make future visits smoother and more tailored to your culinary learning journey.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Functionality
These are necessary for the site to function properly — keeping your login active, preserving items in your course cart, and ensuring security features operate correctly. Without them, core site operations could fail.
Performance Analytics
We monitor how visitors move through our cooking tutorials and recipe collections to spot popular content and optimize site performance. This helps us detect if sections like Mediterranean cuisine load slowly or if users have trouble locating particular techniques.
Personalization Features
They store your dietary preferences, favorite cuisines, and previously viewed cooking classes. On your 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 different user groups to present more relevant course recommendations. This could mean emphasizing baking fundamentals for pastry enthusiasts or Asian fusion techniques for adventurous cooks.
Essential Operations Information
Required for Basic Site Function
Some tracking technologies cannot be turned off because they are essential to core website operations. This includes session management, security verification, and basic preference storage that keeps our platform functional and secure.
Data Retention and How You Can Control It
We retain different categories of tracking data for varying durations depending on their purpose. Session data expires when you close your browser, while preferences may endure for up to two years to maintain consistency across visits.
You retain substantial control over these technologies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers let you block third-party trackers, clear stored data, or receive prompts before new tracking elements are installed. However, disabling certain tracking may reduce some personalization features.
For users in regions with particular privacy regulations, we offer additional controls and transparency measures. Our data practices comply with applicable privacy frameworks while supporting the interactive features that make culinary learning engaging and effective.
