Privacy policy
Effective date: 23 November 2025
This Privacy Policy explains how the John Corcoran Gallery (“we”, “us”, or “our”) handles information when you visit our website at www.corcorangallery.co.uk (“Website”).
We respect your privacy and are committed to collecting as little information as possible.
Our Website does not include user accounts, contact forms, newsletters, or online purchasing, and we do not collect personal data directly from visitors.
Information we collect
We do not collect any personal information such as names, email addresses, or contact details.
The only data we receive relates to basic, anonymous analytics, collected through Simple Analytics — a privacy-friendly, GDPR-compliant analytics service.
Simple Analytics does not use personal data, does not track individual visitors, and does not use cookies for advertising.
You can read more about their approach here: docs.simpleanalytics.com/what-we-collect
The information we can see includes, for example:
- Pages visited
- Browser type
- Device type
- Referring website
- General location (country or region, not precise location)
- Time spent on pages
None of this data identifies you personally.
Cookies
Our Website uses only two types of cookies:
- Cloudflare security cookie — used to protect the website from malicious traffic
- Simple Analytics cookie (s7) — a small, temporary cookie used to improve visit accuracy (contains no personal data)
More detail is provided in our Cookie Policy.
How we use information
We use anonymous analytics data only to:
- Understand how visitors use the Website
- Improve its design, layout, and performance
- Ensure security and reliable hosting
We do not use data for profiling, advertising, or tracking across other websites.
Sharing of information
We do not sell, share, or disclose personal data, because we do not collect any.
Third-party services involved in running the Website include:
- Simple Analytics (anonymous website analytics)
- Cloudflare (security and performance)
- Hosting provider (server infrastructure only)
These providers may process technical data (e.g., IP addresses) to deliver their services securely, but this is done in accordance with UK GDPR and without identifying you.
Your rights
Because we do not collect personal data, most GDPR rights (access, correction, deletion) do not apply.
If you contact us directly by email, we will store your message only for the purpose of responding and will delete it when no longer needed.
Children's privacy
Our Website is not directed at children, and we knowingly do not collect personal data from anyone under 16.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available on this page.
