How Ridge Field Studio uses tracking technologies on Ridge Field Studio
What Are Tracking Technologies?
As you explore our culinary education platform, several tiny data files run in the background to enhance your experience. These tracking technologies comprise cookies, web beacons, and local storage methods that help us grasp how you engage with our global cuisine content and learning programs.
View these technologies as digital helpers that recall your preferences, such as bookmarked techniques or your chosen language. They aim to make future visits smoother and tailored to your culinary education journey.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Functionality
These keep the platform functioning properly—sustaining your login session, recalling items in your course cart, and ensuring security features operate correctly. Without them, core site operations would fail.
Performance Analytics
We monitor how users move through our cooking tutorials and recipe collections to identify popular content and enhance site performance. This helps us detect slow-loading sections or difficulties locating specific techniques.
Personalization Features
They remember your dietary preferences, preferred cuisines, and previously viewed classes. On return visits, we can propose relevant spice tutorials or advanced knife skills workshops aligned with your interests.
Marketing Optimization
We monitor which promotional content resonates with different user segments to present more relevant course recommendations. This could involve emphasizing baking basics for pastry fans or Asian fusion techniques for adventurous cooks.
Key Operations Information
Necessary for Core Site Functionality
Certain tracking technologies cannot be turned off as they are essential for the core operation of the site. These include session management, security checks, and basic preference storage that keep the platform functional and secure.
Data Retention and Your Control Options
We retain different kinds of tracking data for varying durations depending on their purpose. Session data expires when you close your browser, while preference data may persist up to two years to maintain consistency across visits.
You retain substantial 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 offer additional controls and transparency measures. Our data practices align with applicable privacy standards while supporting the interactive features that make culinary learning engaging and effective.
