Overview of how Ember Dune Valley uses tracking technologies on Ember Dune Valley
What Tracking Technologies Do We Use?
As you access our culinary education platform, a number of small data files operate behind the scenes to improve your experience. These tracking technologies comprise cookies, web beacons, and local storage methods that assist us in understanding how you engage with our global cuisine content and training programs.
Consider these technologies as digital assistants that recall your preferences, such as bookmarked techniques or chosen language settings. They aim to make future visits smoother and more tailored to your culinary learning journey.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Functionality
These are necessary for the platform to operate correctly—sustaining your login session, retaining items in your course cart, and ensuring security features perform properly. Without them, core site operations could 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 if the Mediterranean cuisine section loads sluggishly or if users have trouble locating specific techniques.
Personalization Features
They recall your dietary preferences, favorite cuisines, and previously viewed cooking classes. On return visits, we can recommend relevant Indian spice tutorials or advanced knife skills workshops aligned with your interests.
Marketing Optimization
We monitor which promotional content resonates with different user groups to deliver more relevant course suggestions. This could mean emphasizing baking fundamentals for pastry enthusiasts or Asian fusion techniques for adventurous cooks.
Essential Operations Information
Necessary for Core 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 keep our platform functional and secure.
Data Retention and Your Control Options
We keep different kinds of tracking data for varying durations depending on their purpose. Session data expires when you close the browser, while preference data may persist for up to two years to preserve 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, turning off certain tracking may limit some personalization features.
For users in areas with particular 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.
