Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit our website. Think of them as digital breadcrumbs that help us remember your preferences and provide a smoother experience as you explore our gourmet cooking courses.

Beyond traditional cookies, we also use web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage technologies. These tools work together to understand how you interact with our content, which recipes catch your attention, and how we can better serve your culinary interests.

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

When you're browsing our soufflé techniques, our tracking helps us notice if many students struggle with the same steps. We then create additional tutorial content addressing those specific challenges.

If you frequently view vegetarian recipes, we'll prioritize showing you our plant-based cooking courses. This personalization means less time searching and more time learning the techniques that truly interest you.
