Policy on Website Data Usage
How GentleFieldWorks leverages tracking technologies on GentleFieldWorks
What Tracking Technologies Are Used?
When you browse our culinary education platform, several small data files operate quietly in the background to improve your experience. These tracking technologies include cookies, web beacons, and local storage methods that help us understand how you interact with our international cuisine content and learning programs.
Consider these technologies as digital assistants that recall your preferences, such as bookmarked techniques or your preferred language settings. They aim to make your returning visits smoother and more tailored to your culinary learning journey.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Functionality
These keep our platform operating reliably – maintaining your login session, remembering items in your course cart, and ensuring security features work correctly. Without these, basic site operations would not function properly.
Performance Analytics
We monitor how users navigate our cooking tutorials and recipe collections to identify popular content and enhance site speed. This helps us determine if a section loads slowly or if users have trouble finding specific techniques.
Personalization Features
These remember your dietary preferences, favorite cuisine types, and previously viewed cooking 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 groups to show more relevant course recommendations. This might mean highlighting baking fundamentals for pastry enthusiasts or Asian fusion techniques for adventurous cooks.
Essential Operations Information
Necessary for Core Site Functionality
Some tracking technologies cannot be disabled because they are essential for the core operation of the website. These include session management, security verification, and basic preference storage that keeps our platform functional and secure.
Data Retention and Your Control Options
We keep different types 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 substantial control over these technologies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to 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.
