How we use log files and cookies

Log files allow us to record visitors’ use of the website. We use Google Analytics to analyse anonymous user details from our website which we can then use to make changes to the site’s layout to improve the user experience. They also give us useful information about how visitors use the website and interact with it. Log files do not contain any personal information and cannot access a user’s computer.

Cookies The purpose of a cookie is very similar to that of a log file, except that it is a small file placed on the user’s hard drive that then enables Gallery Q’s website to identify the user’s computer as different pages are viewed on Gallery Q’s website. Log files give basic information; cookies can give more detailed information.

How Cookies are Used

Gallery Q may use Cookies to:

  • Analyse web traffic (by using an analytics package – Google Analytics in this case).
  • To recognise if you return to Gallery Q’s website.

Cookies do not provide Gallery Q with access to a user’s computer, or any information about the user other than that which you share with the company.

Controlling information about you

When an individual provides their details to Gallery Q at an exhibition, event, or via Gallery Q’s website (by registering to our news and events mailing list), they have opted in to receive further details about future exhibitions, events, projects and services provided by Gallery Q.
