Our service provider makes a record of your visit and logs the following information, for statistical purposes, for each page accessed:

 

  • IP (Internet Protocol) address of the machine which has accessed it;
  • top-level of your domain name (for example .com, .gov, .au, .uk etc.);
  • address of your server;
  • date and time of your visit to the site;
  • pages accessed and documents downloaded;

Navigation data

 

Browsing any website generates a trail of pages visited and the time apparently spent displaying each page. We use cookies to analyse overall usage patterns of our audience but they are not required to access the site.

 


Data storage and disclosure

 

Information collected is stored in an appropriately secure format and held by the Art Gallery of NSW for archival purposes. When the information is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected it is deleted.

 

The data is used by Art Gallery of NSW website software, and by staff involved in Art Gallery of NSW operations, only for:

 

  • website and system administration, including monitoring to prevent security breaches;
  • customisation of the website to user needs; and
  • evaluation, research and development.
