What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit okislanom.com. These files help us remember your preferences, understand how you interact with our cooking tutorials, and improve your learning experience. We also use similar technologies like web beacons and local storage to collect information about site usage.

Think of cookies as digital bookmarks that help our platform remember things like your progress through cooking lessons, preferred recipe categories, and whether you've completed specific modules. This saves you time during return visits and helps us customize content to match your interests in culinary arts.

Types of Cookies We Use

How Cookies Enhance Your Learning Experience

When you're working through our basic cooking skills program, cookies help create a personalized learning environment. For example, if you frequently access baking tutorials, our system remembers this preference and highlights new pastry techniques when they become available.

Cookies also enable features like progress tracking through multi-part cooking lessons, bookmarking favorite recipes, and resuming video tutorials where you left off. Without these technologies, you'd need to manually navigate to your desired content each time you visit our platform.

Our analytics cookies provide insights that help us improve course content. If we notice many students rewatching certain knife safety segments, we might create additional supplementary materials or adjust our teaching approach for those concepts.

Data Retention and Storage Periods

Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Keep in mind that blocking all cookies may limit your ability to access certain features of okislanom.com. For example, you might need to re-enter preferences each visit, and progress tracking through cooking courses may not function properly.

Third-Party Cookies and External Services

Our website may load content from external services that set their own cookies. This includes embedded videos from educational platforms, social media widgets, and analytics tools. These third parties operate under their own privacy policies and cookie practices.

We work with reputable partners who maintain high standards for data protection, but we recommend reviewing their individual privacy policies if you have concerns about how your information is handled by these external services.

Updates to This Policy

As we expand our cooking education platform and introduce new features, our cookie usage may evolve. We'll update this policy to reflect any significant changes in how we use tracking technologies. Important updates will be highlighted on our website, and we'll adjust the "last updated" date accordingly.

We encourage periodic review of this policy, especially if you have questions about how cookies affect your privacy while using our culinary education services.
