How We Track Your Browsing Activity
We use tracking technologies to make your experience on savageix.com more personalized and useful. This page explains what these technologies do and how you can control them.
Understanding Tracking Technologies
When you visit our site, small text files get stored on your device. These files help us remember your preferences and understand how people interact with our content about vegetarian and vegan cooking.
We're talking about cookies here, but also other tracking methods like local storage and pixel tags. They all serve different purposes, and some are more essential than others. Let's break down what each type does.

Essential Tracking
These are the ones we can't turn off. They keep the site working properly and remember things like whether you're logged in or what's in your course cart.
- Session management and authentication
- Security features and fraud prevention
- Site functionality like forms and navigation
- Load balancing across our servers
Duration: Most expire when you close your browser, though some stay for up to 30 days.
Functional Tracking
These remember your choices so you don't have to keep setting preferences every time you visit. Think of them as convenience tools.
- Language preferences for our content
- Recipe filtering settings you've selected
- Video playback quality preferences
- Regional cooking style selections
Duration: Typically stored for 12 months or until you clear them.
Analytics Tracking
We use these to understand which recipes people love most, what course topics get the most attention, and where people get confused on our site.
- Page views and time spent on content
- Popular recipe categories and searches
- Course completion rates and drop-off points
- Device types and browser information
Duration: Usually kept for 24 months to track trends over time.
Marketing Tracking
These help us show you relevant course recommendations and understand whether our marketing efforts actually work.

- Ad performance measurement
- Social media integration features
- Email campaign effectiveness tracking
Duration: Generally stored for 90 days, though some may last up to 13 months.
