Website Data Usage Policy
An overview of how Hollow Ridge Linen employs tracking technologies on Hollow Ridge Linen site
What Are Tracking Technologies?
When you use our culinary education platform, several tiny data files run behind the scenes to enhance your experience. These tracking technologies, including cookies, web beacons, and local storage mechanisms, help us understand how you interact with our global cuisine content and learning programs.
Think of these technologies as digital assistants that remember your preferences, such as which cooking techniques you've bookmarked or your preferred language settings. They are intended to make your return visits smoother and more tailored to your culinary learning journey.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Functionality
These keep our platform functioning properly — maintaining your login session, remembering items in your course cart, and ensuring security features work correctly. Without these, basic site operations could break.
Performance Analytics
We monitor how users navigate our cooking tutorials and recipe collections to identify popular content and improve site speed. This helps us know if sections load slowly or if users have trouble finding certain techniques.
Personalization Features
These remember your dietary preferences, favorite cuisine types, and previously viewed cooking classes. When you return, we can suggest relevant tutorials or 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 fundamental baking for pastry enthusiasts or introducing adventurous techniques for curious cooks.
Essential Operations Information
Required for Basic Site Function
Some tracking technologies cannot be disabled because they're 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 Your Control Options
We retain different types of tracking data for varying periods based on their purpose. Session-based information expires when you close your browser, while preference data might persist for up to two years to maintain consistency across visits.
You maintain significant control over these technologies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block third-party trackers, clear stored data, or receive notifications 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.
