Privacy Policy

Treat these pages like a printed guidebook that happens to live online. There is no account to create, no newsletter box, no comment field and no checkout, because the site sells nothing and asks for nothing. A typical visit might cover a pay-what-you-want walk through the old centre with a local guide, or the free-entry churches around Stephansplatz, and then it ends.

What Data Is Kept

A single analytics script does the counting here, and what it counts is blunt: pages opened, a rough country, desktop or phone, and whether anyone followed a link out to GuruWalk or freetour.com. That outbound click matters most, because it is the only way to know whether a page about, say, the Free Evening Walking Tour Vienna actually worked as a bridge to the guide. This site never asks for a name, an email, a card or a passport, so none of that can be stored, and none of it is.

Cookies And Third Parties

Cookies here stay few. The analytics script sets a small number of its own so it can tell one page from another. Everything beyond that comes from somewhere else: an embedded map showing where a Vienna walk gathers, say, is loaded by the mapping service, and whatever that service keeps is governed by its own policy, not this one. Embedded video works the same way.

Every walk link points to a live listing on GuruWalk or freetour.com, where the local guide runs the tour in person. After the click, that platform may place its own cookie so the visit can be credited to this site, which is how the site is paid without adding anything to the tip you choose for the guide. From that moment on, the platform's terms and the guide's apply, not these pages'. The details of that arrangement sit on the disclosure page.

The Plain Summary

• No email required anywhere on this site: no newsletter, no account, no forms to fill in.
• This site sells nothing and runs no walks itself. Every booking is made on the guide's own GuruWalk or freetour.com listing, and the confirmation email comes from that platform too, so no booking detail ever passes through this site.
• Forms never appear on any page here. The contact page simply launches your mail app.

Hosting

A third-party hosting provider keeps this site online, and like any host it records ordinary server logs, IP addresses included, for security and abuse prevention.

Your Choices

Readers stay in charge. An ad blocker or tracking protection stops the analytics script from loading, and every page keeps working exactly as published without it. Anyone who prefers to leave no trace at all can skip this site altogether and book each walk directly through GuruWalk or freetour.com, because every guide featured here runs their tours on one of those two platforms.

Questions are welcome through the contact page. The disclosure details explain in full how this site earns money while keeping its editorial independence.
