Policy on Website Data Usage

Cookies are small text files that sites store on your device when you visit. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help sites remember things about you – like your preferences, login status, or items in your shopping cart. At novelshiftharvest.xyz, we use a variety of tracking technologies to enrich your learning experience and to understand how our drawing fundamentals platform serves our community.

In addition to traditional cookies, we also use web beacons, pixel tags, and similar technologies. These tools work together to deliver a more tailored 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 help 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 functioning correctly.

When you’re learning to draw, tracking helps us understand which techniques resonate with different students. For example, if many learners spend extra 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 identify when students might be struggling. If we notice users getting stuck at a particular lesson, we can add additional explanations or alternative teaching approaches. This data-driven approach allows us to continually refine our educational content based on real student behavior rather than guesswork.

Different types of tracking data have varying 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 remove old tracking data that no longer contributes to improving your learning experience.

You maintain control over your data relationship with NovelShiftHarvest. Beyond cookie management, you can request details about what data we’ve collected, ask for corrections to inaccurate information, or request deletion of your tracking history. Our approach emphasizes transparency and empowers you to control your digital footprint on our platform.
