Website Data Utilization Policy

Cookies are tiny text files that sites save on your device when you visit. They act like digital sticky notes that help sites recall details about you — such as your preferences, login state, or items in your cart. At placidportal.online, we employ different tracking technologies to improve your learning experience and understand how our drawing fundamentals platform supports our community.

Beyond traditional cookies, we also utilize web beacons, pixel tags, and similar technologies. These tools work together to create a more personalized experience while helping us enhance our educational content and platform functionality. Some of these technologies are essential for basic site operation, while others improve your experience or help us analyze usage patterns.

You can also manage cookies via your browser settings. Most modern browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies from specific sites. However, turning off essential cookies may cause certain parts of our drawing platform to malfunction.

As you learn to draw, tracking shows us which techniques appeal to different learners. For instance, if many users spend extra time on shading tutorials, we’ll produce more content in that area. If students frequently revisit our color theory lessons, we can expand those materials.

Analytics also help us identify when learners 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 lets us continually refine our educational content based on real student behavior rather than guesswork.

Different types of tracking data have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close the browser, while persistent cookies might stay for months or years depending on their purpose. We regularly review and clean up old tracking data that's no longer useful for improving your learning experience.

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