Data Usage Policy

Understanding how Gimado uses tracking technologies to enhance your culinary journey

How We Track Your Activity

When you visit gimado.com, our platform collects information through various tracking mechanisms to improve your sous-vide learning experience. We use browser storage, session identifiers, and interaction analytics to understand how you navigate our educational content and recipe collections.

These tracking systems monitor your engagement with cooking tutorials, recipe completion rates, and preferred learning paths. The data helps us recommend relevant content and remember your progress through our culinary programs.

Key Point: We track educational interactions to personalize your cooking journey and maintain progress across sessions. This includes which techniques you've mastered and areas where you might benefit from additional guidance.

Types of Tracking Technologies

Our platform employs multiple tracking methods, each serving specific functions in delivering educational content and maintaining user preferences.

Essential Functionality

Required for basic site operation, login status, shopping cart persistence, and security measures. These cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality.

Learning Analytics

Monitors your progress through cooking modules, tracks completed recipes, and identifies areas for skill improvement. Helps customize your educational pathway.

Performance Monitoring

Measures site loading speeds, identifies technical issues, and optimizes content delivery. Ensures smooth access to video tutorials and recipe databases.

Content Personalization

Analyzes your cooking interests, preferred difficulty levels, and equipment usage to suggest relevant recipes and educational materials.

Managing Your Tracking Preferences

You maintain control over how your data is collected and used on our platform. Browser settings provide primary control mechanisms, while our system offers additional customization options.

1
Access your browser's privacy settings and locate the data storage management section. Most modern browsers allow granular control over site-specific tracking permissions.
2
Review current permissions for gimado.com and adjust according to your comfort level. Essential functions will continue working, but some personalization features may be limited.
3
Use private browsing modes to prevent long-term data storage while still accessing educational content. Note that progress tracking won't persist between sessions.
4
Clear existing stored data through browser tools if you wish to reset your profile and start fresh with content recommendations.

Remember that restricting certain tracking functions may affect features like progress saving, personalized recipe recommendations, and seamless transitions between devices.

Data Retention and Your Control

We maintain educational progress data for active accounts to ensure continuity in your culinary learning journey. Inactive accounts see automatic data expiration after extended periods of non-use.

Your interaction history with recipes, tutorial completions, and skill assessments remains accessible through your account dashboard. You can download this information or request its removal at any time.

Data Lifespan: Active learning progress is maintained indefinitely while you use the platform. Analytical data for site improvement is aggregated and anonymized after 18 months. Marketing interaction data expires after 24 months unless refreshed through continued engagement.

For complete data removal, contact our support team. We'll process requests within 30 days and provide confirmation once your information has been purged from our systems.

Third-Party Integration and Data Sharing

Our educational platform integrates with culinary equipment manufacturers and ingredient suppliers to enhance your sous-vide cooking experience. These partnerships involve limited data sharing focused on improving product recommendations.

Analytics providers help us understand content effectiveness and user engagement patterns. This information is shared in aggregated, anonymized formats that cannot identify individual users or their specific cooking preferences.

We never sell personal information or detailed behavioral data to marketing companies. Any data sharing arrangements are strictly limited to improving educational content quality and platform functionality.

Integration Examples: Equipment compatibility checks, ingredient sourcing recommendations, and technique-specific tutorial suggestions based on your progress and interests within the sous-vide cooking domain.
