Website Data Usage Policy
Understanding how GreenFieldNote uses tracking technologies on GreenFieldNote
What Are Tracking Technologies?
As you browse our culinary education platform, several small data files operate in the background to improve your experience. These tracking technologies include cookies, web beacons, and local storage, which help us learn how you engage with our global cuisine content and courses.
Think of them as digital assistants that recall your choices, such as bookmarked techniques or language preferences. They are designed to make future visits smoother and more tailored to your culinary education journey.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Functionality
These are essential for proper operation—keeping your login active, retaining items in your course cart, and ensuring security features operate correctly. Without them, core site functions would fail.
Performance Analytics
We monitor how visitors move through our cooking tutorials and recipe collections to spot popular content and enhance site performance. This helps us detect slow loading in sections like Mediterranean cuisine or trouble finding specific techniques.
Personalization Features
They retain your dietary preferences, favorite cuisines, and previously viewed classes. On return, we can propose relevant Indian spice tutorials or advanced knife skills courses tailored to your interests.
Marketing Optimization
We monitor which promotional content resonates with various user groups to offer more relevant course recommendations. This could mean emphasizing baking basics for pastry fans or Asian fusion methods for adventurous cooks.
Essential Operations Information
Required for Basic Site Function
Certain tracking technologies cannot be turned off because they are essential for the site's core operations. This includes session management, security checks, and basic preference storage that keep the 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 the browser, while preference data may remain for up to two years to maintain consistency across visits.
You have substantial control via 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 some tracking may limit personalization features.
For users in regions with specific 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.
