Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 2025
This policy explains how Elvertos Quelthane uses cookies and similar technologies on elvertosquelthane.com. We believe in being straightforward about what we collect and why.
Cookies help us understand how you interact with our figure drawing resources. Some are essential for the site to work properly, while others help us improve your learning experience.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. They're quite simple really—just bits of data that help the site remember things about your visit.
Think of them as bookmarks. When you come back to our site, these files tell us what you were looking at or what preferences you'd set. They don't contain personal information like your name or address.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site running. Without them, basic features like navigating between pages or accessing study materials wouldn't work. They're necessary for the platform to function.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices—like which drawing tools you prefer or how you organize your workspace. They make your experience more personalized each time you visit.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to see which lessons are most popular and where students spend their time. This helps us understand what's working and what needs improvement.
Performance Tracking
These monitor how quickly pages load and whether any technical issues pop up. They help us keep the site running smoothly for everyone.
How We Actually Use This Information
Here's what happens with the data we collect. We look at patterns in how people use the study materials—which anatomy guides get the most views, where students tend to pause video demonstrations, that sort of thing.
This information guides our decisions about what content to create next. If we notice lots of visitors rewatching a particular gesture drawing segment, we might develop more material on that topic.
- Track which learning resources are most helpful to students
- Remember your progress through different lesson modules
- Identify technical problems before they affect too many people
- Understand which browser types and devices need better support
- See how new features are being received by the community

Data Retention and Storage
Different cookies stay on your device for different amounts of time. Some disappear when you close your browser, while others stick around longer.
Third-Party Services
We use some external services that might place their own cookies. For example, if we embed a video demonstration from another platform, that platform might track the view.
These third parties have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review. We only work with services that respect user privacy and comply with UK data protection standards.
Updates to This Policy
We review this policy regularly and update it when we change how we use cookies or when regulations change. Any significant updates will be clearly communicated through the website.
The current version reflects our practices as of January 2025. You can always find the most recent version at this page.
