Privacy Policy
Free Things To Do In Sydney is a directory, not a shop. There are no accounts to open, no newsletter sign-up, no comment fields, and nothing to buy. Every page is a plain list or article about free harbourside spots, free museums, and pay-what-you-want walks. You read about the Royal Botanic Garden or a free Rocks tour, then you either close the tab or head out through a link. Very little data exists to collect in the first place, and this page explains the little that does.
What Gets Counted Here
Measurement on this site happens in aggregate only. The script notes which pages were viewed, an approximate country, the type of device, and which outbound links were followed, including the GuruWalk pages for walks like the Sydney Sunset Evening Tour. Those outbound clicks are the useful signal: they show whether a page about a free tour actually helped someone find a guide. No email addresses, names, payment information or passport details are ever recorded, because no page here has a field asking for them.
Cookies And Third-Party Items
The cookie count here stays small. A few come from the measurement script itself. Anything else arrives with embedded material: a map showing where a walking tour meets near Circular Quay is served by the map provider, and any cookie it drops belongs to that provider's policy, not this one. Embedded video works the same way. No part of this site follows a reader around the wider web building an advertising profile.
Each walk link leads to GuruWalk, where the independent guide runs the tour. Once you click through, GuruWalk may set its own cookie so a booking can be connected back to this site, which is how the site earns at no added cost to you or the guide. From that point onward GuruWalk's privacy terms apply, not this site's. The disclosure page explains the referral arrangement in full at disclosure page.
What This Site Never Asks For
- Nothing you read here is tied back to you. No reader profile is built, ever.
- This site loads no third-party trackers, no advertising scripts and nothing that follows you between pages.
- No sign-up exists anywhere. Not one page asks for an email address, a name or any login at all.
- No reservation is made on this site. Spots on the Sydney walks are claimed on GuruWalk or freetour.com, where the guide confirms the booking directly. Details like your name, group size or chosen date never come near this site.
- There is nothing to type into a form here. The contact page launches your own mail app with the address filled in, so the message travels straight from your device and never touches a server this site runs.
Hosting
This site, like almost any other, runs on infrastructure owned by a hosting company, and that company keeps routine server logs, including IP addresses, as a normal safeguard. Those logs exist to keep the pages online and to block abuse. Nobody looks through them to identify readers, and nothing is done to connect an address with the harbourside walks or free museums a visitor browses.
Your Choices
The choice is yours at every step. Turning off the analytics script, by blocker or browser setting, hides nothing from you: each page still reads in full, and the pay-what-you-want walks are described completely either way. Switching JavaScript off only affects the mobile menu. Anyone who wants zero trace can also bypass this site entirely, because the Sydney walks on GuruWalk and the freetour.com exclusives are all listed on those platforms and can be found there without this site's help.
Questions are welcome through the contact page. For a fuller account of how this site earns money while staying independent, the disclosure details lay it out.
