Website Data Usage Policy
How Trail Ridge Mirror uses tracking technologies across Trail Ridge Mirror
What Tracking Technologies Are Used?
As you use our culinary education platform, several small data files run in the background to improve your experience. These tracking technologies include cookies, web beacons, and local storage methods that help us see how you engage with our global cuisine content and courses.
Consider these technologies as digital helpers that recall your preferences, such as bookmarked techniques or your chosen language. They aim to streamline future visits and tailor them to your culinary learning path.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Functionality
These ensure the platform operates correctly — keeping your login session active, preserving items in your course cart, and making sure security features work as intended. Without them, basic site functionality would fail.
Performance Analytics
We monitor how people move through our cooking tutorials and recipe collections to spot popular content and enhance site performance. This helps us identify if the Mediterranean section loads slowly or if users have trouble locating particular techniques.
Personalization Features
These store your dietary preferences, favorite cuisines, and viewed classes. On return, we can suggest relevant Indian spice tutorials or advanced knife skills workshops based on your interests.
Marketing Optimization
We monitor which promotional content resonates with different user groups to deliver more relevant course recommendations. This could involve emphasizing baking basics for pastry fans or Asian fusion techniques for adventurous cooks.
Essential Operations Information
Necessary for Core Site Operation
Some tracking technologies can't be turned off because they're essential for core site operations. This includes session management, security checks, and basic preference storage that keep our platform functional and secure.
Data Retention and Your Control Options
We keep different types of tracking data for varying periods based on their purpose. Session data expires when you close your browser, while preference data may stay for up to two years to maintain consistency across visits.
You have substantial 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 areas with particular privacy laws, 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.
