Website Data Usage Policy

Cookies are tiny text files placed on your device by websites during visits. They act like digital reminders that help sites recall details about you—for instance, your preferences, login status, or items in your shopping cart. At smallgrovestudio.xyz, we utilize a range of tracking technologies to improve your learning experience and to understand how our drawing fundamentals platform serves our community.

In addition to traditional cookies, we use web beacons, pixel tags, and similar technologies. Together, these tools contribute to a more personalized experience while helping us enhance 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 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.

Tracking helps us gauge which techniques resonate with different learners as you work on drawing. For instance, if many users spend more time on our shading tutorials, we know to create more content in that area. If students frequently revisit our color theory lessons, we can expand those materials.

Analytics also help us spot when students might be struggling. If we see users getting stuck at a particular lesson, we can add extra 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 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 maintain control over your data relationship with Small Grove Studio. Beyond managing cookies, you can request information about what data we have collected, request corrections to inaccurate data, or request deletion of your tracking history. Our approach prioritizes transparency and empowers you to manage your digital footprint on our platform.
