Site Data Usage Policy
How ClearTradeGrove uses tracking technologies on ClearTradeGrove
What Tracking Technologies Are Used?
When you visit our cooking education platform, numerous small data files operate behind the scenes to enhance your experience. These tracking technologies include cookies, web beacons, and local storage methods that help us understand how you engage with our global cuisine content and training programs.
Think of them as digital helpers that remember your preferences, like bookmarked techniques or your chosen language settings. They’re designed to make future visits smoother and more tailored to your culinary learning journey.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Functionality
These ensure the platform operates correctly - keeping your login session active, remembering items in your course cart, and making sure security features run properly. Without them, basic site operations could fail.
Performance Analytics
We monitor how users browse our cooking tutorials and recipe collections to identify popular content and speed up the site. This helps us determine if the Mediterranean cuisine section loads slowly or if users have trouble locating certain techniques.
Personalization Features
They recall your dietary preferences, favorite cuisines, and courses you’ve viewed previously. On return visits, we can propose relevant spice tutorials or advanced knife skills workshops aligned with your interests.
Marketing Optimization
We track which promotional content resonates with different user groups to present more suitable course recommendations. This could involve highlighting baking basics for pastry fans or Asian fusion techniques for bold cooks.
Essential Operations Information
Necessary for Core Site Function
Some tracking technologies cannot be disabled because they're essential for core site operations. These include managing sessions, performing security checks, and storing basic preferences that keep the platform functional and secure.
Data Retention and Your Management Choices
We keep different kinds of tracking data for varying lengths depending on their purpose. Session data expires when you close the browser, while preferences may remain for up to two years to maintain continuity across visits.
You hold significant control over these technologies via your browser settings. Most modern browsers let you block third-party trackers, clear stored data, or prompt before new tracking elements are installed. However, turning off certain tracking may reduce some personalization features.
For users in regions with specific privacy laws, we offer extra controls and transparency measures. Our data practices align with applicable privacy frameworks while supporting the interactive features that make culinary learning engaging and effective.
