Website Data Handling Policy
Understanding how Drift Arc Petal uses tracking technologies on Drift Arc Petal's platform
What Exactly Are Tracking Technologies?
When you browse our culinary education platform, several small data files operate behind the scenes to improve your experience. These technologies include cookies, web beacons, and local storage that help us gauge how you engage with our global cuisine content and learning programs.
Think of these technologies as digital assistants that remember your preferences, such as which techniques you've bookmarked or your preferred language settings. They are designed to make your return visits smoother and more tailored to your culinary learning journey.
Types of Tracking We Employ
Core Functionality
These keep the platform functioning properly — maintaining your login session, remembering items in your course cart, and ensuring security features operate correctly. Without them, basic site operations would fail.
Performance Insights
We monitor how users navigate our cooking tutorials and recipe collections to identify popular content and enhance site speed. This helps us understand load times and whether sections load slowly or if users struggle to locate specific techniques.
Personalization Capabilities
These remember your dietary preferences, favorite cuisine types, and previously viewed classes. When you return, we can suggest relevant Indian spice tutorials or advanced knife skills workshops based on your interests.
Marketing Optimization
We track which promotional content resonates with different user segments to show more relevant course recommendations. This might mean highlighting baking fundamentals for pastry enthusiasts or Asian fusion techniques for adventurous cooks.
Essential System Operations Information
Necessary for Core Site Function
Some tracking technologies cannot be disabled because they are essential for core website operations. These include session management, security verification, and basic preference storage that keeps our platform functional and secure.
Data Retention and How You Can Manage It
We retain different kinds of tracking data for varying durations based on their purpose. Session-based information expires when you close your 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 let you block third-party trackers, clear stored data, or receive prompts before new tracking elements are installed. However, disabling certain tracking may limit some personalization features.
For users in regions with specific privacy regulations, we provide 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.
