Website Data Handling Policy

Cookies are tiny text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They act like digital sticky notes that help sites remember details about you — such as your preferences, login status, or items in your shopping cart. At explorelighthouse.xyz, we employ various tracking technologies to enhance your learning journey and to understand how our drawing fundamentals platform serves the community.

In addition to traditional cookies, we also use web beacons, pixel tags, and similar technologies. These tools work together to deliver a more personalized experience while helping us improve our educational content and the functionality of our platform. Some of these technologies are essential for basic site operation, while others enhance your experience or assist us in analyzing usage patterns.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from specific websites. However, disabling essential cookies may prevent certain parts of our drawing platform from working correctly.

When you're learning to draw, tracking helps us understand which techniques resonate with different students. For example, if many learners spend extra time on our shading tutorials, we know to create 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 facing difficulties. If we notice users getting stuck at a particular lesson, we can add additional explanations or alternative teaching approaches. This data-driven approach allows us to continually refine our educational content based on real student behavior rather than guesswork.

Different kinds of tracking data have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may remain for months or years depending on their purpose. We regularly review and remove outdated tracking data that no longer helps improve your learning experience.

You retain control over your data relationship with Explore Light House. 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 gives you control over your digital footprint on our platform.
