Privacy Policy

This site compares 28 Hunter Valley tours across 5 categories, from a 10 minute helicopter flight over Cessnock to a full 12 hour gourmet day trip out of Sydney. Nothing is booked here. Every reservation happens on the live listing, which keeps the personal data involved close to nil: no account, no form, no checkout exists on this domain.

What This Site Collects

Reading here costs you nothing in personal information. Every page on this site, whether it breaks down the Two Fat Blokes full-day winery tour or the chef-led gourmet day trip from Sydney, opens in full with no account, no email capture and no newsletter wall. Nothing is charged on this domain either: each reservation happens on the operator's live booking page after you follow a listing link. Measurement stays at the group level, showing things like whether the from-Sydney day trips draw more readers than the Pokolbin half-day options, and which search phrases lead people in. No card detail is ever typed into this site, and no name or street address is requested. Someone comparing the small-group Daves Tours itinerary against the private Heart of Hunter day can read the whole comparison without giving up one personal detail.

Cookies And Outbound Links

We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and to see which links to the booking platform get clicked (an event called affiliate_click carrying the link URL and page path).

A couple of cookies do the counting here, and that is the whole of it: totals per page, nothing tied to an individual. Since nothing is sold on this domain, there is no cart, no sign-in and no stored preference. The line that matters is the outbound link. Click through to a Two Fat Blokes departure or an Audrey Wilkinson tasting and this site steps aside; that booking page brings its own cookies and its own privacy terms. The disclosure page explains which booking platforms are involved and how this site is paid when a reservation follows one of its links.

What This Page Rules Out

• No visit data is traded onward.
• This site runs no retargeting pixels, ad scripts or social media trackers anywhere.
• No newsletter, no pop-ups, no sign-up wall. Nothing on this site asks for your email address.
• No payment passes through this site and no wine tour seat is ever held under your name here. Pick the Hop Hunter brewery day or the boutique Newcastle wine tour, and the card details, confirmation and receipt are all handled on the live booking page.
• Questions about a Pokolbin pickup or a Sydney departure time go out from whichever inbox you like, because the contact page opens your own email program rather than a form. No address gets collected first. Reservation details stay with the tour operator, never on this site.

Hosting

These pages sit on ordinary commercial hosting. As with most hosts, the server keeps logs with IP addresses to hold spam and abuse at bay. A reader comparing the Two Fat Blokes half-day tour with a helicopter flight out of Cessnock is not being profiled through those records.

Your Choices

Run a blocker, switch scripts off or open a private window, and the visit tally simply stops. Everything else keeps working. The tour comparisons load as usual, and every link to a live booking page opens without JavaScript.
