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

As you learn to draw, tracking helps us understand which techniques resonate with different students. For instance, if many learners spend more time on our shading tutorials, we know to produce 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 struggling. If we notice users getting stuck at a particular lesson, we can add extra explanations or alternative teaching approaches. This data-driven approach lets us continuously refine our educational content based on real student behavior rather than guesswork.

Different tracking data have different retention periods. 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 old tracking data that no longer helps improve your learning experience.
